Fill in the Spirit.

 Fill Me with the Holy Spirit

A Prayer from Ephesians 5:18, Acts 2:4, and John 7:37-39

Fill me with the Holy Spirit—not a trickle, not a taste,

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

Come as the wind that filled the upper room on Pentecost,

Come as the fire that rests on all the faithful, never lost.

Be filled with the Spirit. (Ephesians 5:18)

Fill my mind—with wisdom from above,

With truth that casts out every lie, with thoughts of holy love.

Fill my heart—with courage, joy, and peace,

Where fear and doubt and bitterness must finally cease.

Fill my lips—with praise and prophecy,

To speak Your words of life to all who need to see.

Fill my hands—to serve and heal and bless,

To carry heaven’s tender touch to every brokenness.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. (Acts 2:4)

I am an empty vessel, longing to be full.

I am a thirsty ground, waiting for the rain to fall.

Pour out Your Spirit, Lord, not just for my delight,

But for the sake of every soul who walks in darkest night.

Fill me anew this day—not once, but over and over.

Let the river of Your presence wash me, claim me, hover.

Fill me with the Holy Spirit—my comforter, my guide.

In Your filling, Lord, I live; in Your filling, I abide.

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

Amen.
