I invite you to relax your body, close your eyes and hold out your hands:
Spirit of life
Before You and all the heavenly witnesses, We offer ourselves, mind, soul and body to You.
Fill our emptiness with your fullness
I invite you to place your hand over your chest:
Spirit of power
We adore the brightness of Your purity,
the keenness of Your justice,
and the might of Your love.
Stir our hearts afresh
I invite you to clasp your hands together:
Spirit of love
You are the Strength and Light of our souls.
We desire never to grieve You.
Touch us, and through us, our neighbour
I invite you to lift your face to the sky:
Spirit of Creativity
Guard our every thought
and grant that we may always watch for Your light,
and listen to Your voice
and follow Your gracious inspirations.
Enable and empower the gifts you have given
I invite you to feel your feet firmly on the floor:
Spirit of Eternity
Draw us ever deeper into your Kingdom
Give us grace O Holy Spirit,
Spirit of the Father and the Son
to say to You always and everywhere “Speak Lord for Your servant is listening.” Amen

Glorious God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
We go into this day knowing your Spirit dwells within us.
May your Counselor make us wise and help us understand what it means to know you.
May the Spirit’s fire ignite our hearts so that we understand the hope of being chosen by God.
May we discover the glorious blessings we share together with all God’s people.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all, this day and forever.
Amen
