Holy Spirit, come fill us again. When our hearts are faint, when the voids in our lives left by others overwhelm us with sadness, You are the one who satisfies our needs. You are our help. You wake us in the middle of the night to pray and praise You for what You are doing, for loving us, for protecting us, for providing. We thrive in the shadow of Your wings. We rejoice in You in the name and authority of Jesus, who bore our sin and shame to the cross, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.

“My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, ​​And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. ​​When I remember You on my bed, ​​I meditate on You in the night watches. ​​Because You have been my help, ​​Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. ​​My soul follows close behind You; ​​Your right hand upholds me.” (Psalm 63: 5-8 NKJV)
