Holy Spirit you are all I have.

 Holy Spirit, You Are All I Have

A Reflection on John 14:16-18 and Romans 8:26

Holy Spirit, You are all I have—when friends have walked away,

When earthly props are pulled and I have nothing left to say.

You are the Comforter who stays when everyone has gone,

The Advocate who pleads for me when I am weak and worn.

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” (John 14:16-17)

No silver, no gold, no titles, no fame—

But I have Your presence, and I whisper Your name.

In the silence, You speak. In the chaos, You calm.

You are the oil of gladness, the healing balm.

When my own words fail, when I cannot pray,

You intercede with groans that take my pain away.

When I am lost, You guide. When I am blind, You see.

Holy Spirit, You are all I have—and You are enough for me.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. (Romans 8:26)

So I will not fear the emptiness of human love or care,

For You, O Holy Spirit, are with me everywhere.

You are my teacher, my comforter, my seal, my living flame.

All I have is You—and You are all I need to claim.

Amen.
