Holy Spirit, Come into My Life
A Reflection on Acts 2:2-4, John 14:16-17, and Romans 8:11
Holy Spirit, come into my life—not as a passing guest,
But as the indwelling, sovereign Lord, who gives me perfect rest.
Come into my mind and sweep away confusion, doubt, and fear.
Come into my heart and make Your gentle dwelling here.
“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” (John 14:16-17)
Come into my words—let them speak of grace, not harm.
Come into my hands—let them serve, protect, and warm.
Come into my silence, into my laughter, into my tears.
Come into my waiting, into my hopes, into my fears.
I am an empty vessel, longing to be filled.
I am a thirsty ground, waiting for the rain You've willed.
Breathe on me, O Breath of God, and stir the sleeping flame.
Let the Spirit of the living God now burn within my frame.
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)
I welcome You—not with a ritual, not with a creed,
But with the open hands of a heart that truly needs
Your power, Your comfort, Your wisdom, and Your grace.
Holy Spirit, come into my life—and take Your rightful place.
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. (Acts 2:2-3)
Come, Holy Spirit, come. I yield my all to You.
Make me a dwelling place where heaven shines through.
Amen.
