Here’s a prayer inspired by the sacred moments in the **Upper Room**—where Jesus shared the Last Supper, washed the disciples’ feet, promised the Holy Spirit, and prayed for unity (John 13-17). This prayer echoes the surrender, intimacy, and commissioning born in that holy space:

### **"Upper Room Prayer"**  

Lord Jesus, in the hush of that candlelit night,  

You knelt, You broke bread, You called us to light.  

Here in this heart, my own Upper Room,  

Breathe Your last commands; banish the gloom.  

*“A new command I give you: Love one another.*  

*As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”*  

**(John 13:34)**  

**Wash me** as You washed dusty feet—  

Servant-King, make my offering complete.  

**Break me** as You broke the bread—  

*“This is My body, for you,” You said.*  

**(Luke 22:19)**  

**Fill me** with the wine of Your covenant true—  

The blood that forgives, renews, makes new.  

And when fear whispers, or doubt takes flight,  

Remind me: *“I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.”*  

**(John 14:6)**

### **For the Spirit’s Coming**  

You promised a Comforter, Wind, and Fire—  

*“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes.”*  

**(Acts 1:8)**  

Stir in me now, awaken, inspire!  

As in that Upper Room, let tongues of flame  

Ignite my soul to proclaim Your name.  

*“May they all be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You…*  

*so the world may believe You sent Me.”*  

**(John 17:21)**  

Unite Your Church, torn and scarred—  

Make us one body, working hard  

To love the lost, lift the frail,  

Till Your Kingdom comes, and love prevails.

### **Closing Petition**  

**So here I wait—**  

in my own Upper Room,  

Hungry for grace,  

Breaking the gloom.  

*Come, Holy Spirit.*  

*Teach me to abide.*  

*Here at this table,*  

*Stay by my side.*  

**Send me from this place**  

*With fire, with bread—*  

*To live as You lived,*  

*To love in Your stead.*  

**Amen.**
