Generous God,
You send us the Spirit of courage,
but we have been afraid.
You send us the Spirit of truth,
but we cling to our illusions.
You send us the Spirit of healing,
but we cannot let go of our hurts.
Holy Spirit of forgiveness, come to us again:
Shake our hearts.
Set our souls on fire with your love.
Send us out into the world rejoicing in your power.
We hold out our burdens of guilt and sin.
We ask you to help us to live the way of your justice and love.
Amen.
