Prayers for Pentecost, inspired by U2's Mysterious Ways
On this day of Pentecost, let us pray to God the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, creator, and renew the face of the
earth. You are the wave, you turn the
tide. You lift my days and light up my
nights.
She moves in
mysterious ways.
Spirit, talk to us about the things we can’t explain. To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal. If we want to kiss the sky, better learn how
to kneel. We move through miracle days.
She moves in
mysterious ways.
Sometimes we feel ourselves sliding down. Some days we feel like we’ve been living
underground, eating from a can, running away from what we don’t understand.
Help us to know that
it’s alright, that you’ll be there when we hit the ground
One day, maybe today, we’ll look back and see that we were
held by your love. And that while we
could just stand here, we can also follow this feeling and move on this moment.
She moves in
mysterious ways
We pray that all might know the power of your love to lift
our days and light up our nights. We
pray for the parishes of St. James Manotick and All Saints Beirut. We pray for the military chaplains of our
Diocese. We pray for those who need our
prayers, silently or aloud . . . . Help
them to know that it’s alright.
We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in
mysterious ways
Lift my days, light
up my nights.
