A Prayer for Pentecost

Breathe in me, O, Holy Spirit
that my thoughts may all be holy;

Act in me, O, Holy Spirit
that my works, too, may be holy;

Draw my heart, O, Holy Spirit
that I love but what is holy;

Strengthen me, O, Holy Spirit
to defend that which is holy;

Guard me then, O, Holy Spirit
that I always may be holy.
[Augustine of Hippo]

  1. Kristen, Augustine is one of my go to guys when it comes to hitting the nail on the head succinctly and with sound doctrine. Thanks for sharing this with us today.
