May Your Spirit flow in me.

 May Your Spirit Flow in Me

A Reflection on John 7:38-39, Romans 8:11, and Ezekiel 36:27

May Your Spirit flow in me—not a trickle, not a taste,

But a rushing, mighty river, a holy, urgent haste.

Let the waters of Your presence rise and fill me to the brim,

Let every dry and barren place be saturated by Him.

Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. (John 7:38)

Flow through my mind—wash away confusion, doubt, and fear.

Let the Spirit of truth make Your wisdom crystal clear.

Where anxiety has taken root, let Your peace overflow,

And let my thoughts be captive to the One who loves me so.

Flow through my heart—melt the cold and stubborn stone.

Let the fruit of love, joy, peace, and patience be made known.

Where fear has lodged, let boldness rise; where bitterness has grown,

Let Your gentle presence heal me, making all Your glory known.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies. (Romans 8:11)

Flow through my words—let them speak of grace, not harm.

Let my lips be filled with praise, my tongue a healing balm.

Where there is hurt, let me bring comfort; where there is strife, let me bring peace,

And let my words be seasoned with the love that will not cease.

Flow through my hands—let them serve and heal and bless.

Use my ordinary touch to carry heaven's tenderness.

Mold my fingers, guide my gestures, let each act become a prayer,

A living sacrifice ascending to Your throne of care.

I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes. (Ezekiel 36:27)

Flow through my will—take the reins, I surrender all.

Every plan, every dream, every ambition, great or small.

Let Your leading be my compass, Your purpose be my guide.

In Your hands, my life is yielded; in Your love, I will abide.

May Your Spirit flow in me—not for my comfort only,

But for the sake of every soul who walks in darkness and is lonely.

Let the river of Your presence flow through me to others,

To my family, my friends, my neighbors, and my brothers.

Flow, living water. Flow, O Holy Spirit, flow.

I open every gate. I let my barriers go.

May Your Spirit flow in me—make me a channel deep,

Where the thirsty find refreshment and the broken learn to leap.

Amen.
