PRAYER FOR 2021 Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in us the fire of your love so that we are wholly yours and may love each other and grow as a community of faith. Fill us and use us to share your healing power with those with whom we work, live and worship. Ignite within us a passion for your Gospel so that we can be beacons of love, jus ce and mercy using our gi s and talents for your glory. Open our hearts and our minds to your truths given to us in Scripture and to the needs of others. Strengthen us to share these truths with our community, that we may produce a greater harvest for your kingdom. Come Holy Spirit; renew and empower us so that we can face all things with courage knowing that you are with us. In Jesus' name, Amen. Wri en by Chris ne Irvine, Murray Bridge
