I bow my knee in prayer before the Father who made me, before the Son who purchased me, before the Spirit who cleansed me, in friendship and love.
Lord, through your anointed, give us the fullness we long for: for love and affection, for our God, the smile and wisdom of our God, the grace of God.
So may we live on earth as saints and angels in heaven; each shade and light, each day and night, through every moment we draw our breath, God give us your Spirit.
