Holy Spirit, on this Pentecost Sunday, we invite you to blow through our lives like a mighty wind. Blow open the doors and windows of possibilities. Blow open our eyes and give us the vision to see where you are at work in the world. Blow open our ears to hear the beautiful symphony of many languages spoken and help us to listen and understand. Blow open our hearts to help us embrace the amazing and perplexing ways that you inspire and enliven us. Pour out your Spirit upon us, your people, so that we may prophesy of your justice, your compassion, and your love. May we dream dreams of your kingdom breaking into this world and setting it right, and may your Spirit guide us to be your coworkers so that those dreams become reality. Amen!

Rev. Greg Allen-Pickett, Pastor and Head of Staff, First Presbyterian Church, Hastings, Nebraska
