based on Romans 8:14-30
God our Parent, your Spirit makes us your children.
You set us free from fear
and promise us the inheritance of eternal life in Christ.
We long for the fulfillment of Christ’s glory,
the revelation of God’s children for all creation.
We pray for this creation, sitting between the frustration of what is
and the coming birth of what is to come.
Make your hope visible in us,
and make our lives a force for the renewal of creation.
Come, Holy Spirit. Fill the earth.
God of all hope,
we pray for what we have not seen,
and we call on you for the needs that are closest to our hearts.
Heal, comfort, and give hope.
Come, Holy Spirit. Fill the earth.
God of compassion,
we pray even for what we don’t know.
Let your Spirit search deep within our hearts
and pray for us with groans too deep for words…
Come, Holy Spirit. Fill the earth.
Sovereign God,
gather all things and all events
together in your love,
for the good of your beloved people
and your sacred creation.
Guard and guide our future.
Come, Holy Spirit. Fill the earth.
Fill the earth with the image of Christ,
through whom and in whom all things were created,
by whom all things are redeemed. Amen.
