O holy and astounding Spirit, You catch me by surprise at least once a day with the freshness of Your love and the unpredictability of Your presence, especially in the humble things that somehow give me immense joy.
Some moments are completely new, full of joy, as uplifting as the dawning sun, and those moments come from you day by day.
Stand behind me today when I am right and ought to be more determined, and block my way when I am being stupid and ought to back off. Teach me true compassion for those in need, so I can be of genuine help to someone.
Bless me today, Holy Spirit, and astonish me again. Amen.
a friend sent me this prayer months ago; I keep it next to my computer so that I see it each day and now have grown to love it. I don't know the source, but would acknowledge it if I could.
