Pulsing Spirit, Come, Holy Spirit, Come.
Creativity God, as so many of your Christian churches celebrate Pentecost Sunday, we are forever reminded in the news how much we need a Spirit renewal toward unity and away from division.
- Russia‘s further advancement into Ukraine.
- A divided society in Slovakia as played out in an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister.
- Battles intensify in Gaza‘s Jabalia and Rafah and there’s growing signs of divisions within Israel‘s own Defense Department.
- New divisions of old wounds within the United States as the Presidential vote nears and Texas’ Governor pardons a (white) man convicted of killing a (white) protestor during a Black Lives Matter event in 2020.
Gentle Power, Come, Holy Spirit, Come.
Loving God, we know we must do better, and quickly, for creation care work. We need a Spirit renewal of conservationism and deeper concern for all the beauty you left in our charge.
- Deadly flash floods in Afghanistan leaving hundreds dead and some still missing…
- Coral Reef bleaching at record levels globally because of exceedingly high ocean temperatures…
- Indonesian rescuers still searching through rubble after flash floods have killed at least 52…
- Scientists studying about tornadoes have highlighted significant changes to tornadoes and their previous patterns in the United States…
Unbounded Motion, Come, Holy Spirit, Come, not like a dove, but like a wild goose. May the unbridled, sometimes obnoxious, always powerful, and not easily controllable ways your Holy Spirit be a reminder to us throughout the church’s seasons we cannot domesticate the Spirit of God! Amen.
