Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to dwell within me the moment I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for his teaching over the years so that I am aware of his presence. Open my spiritual ears to hear him more, to be more and more sensitive to his promptings. Open my mind to his discernment and wisdom in my dealings with others, that I may receive the words from him to explain the mystery of salvation. Open my heart to the power he brings to my life to walk in the Spirit, boldly approaching each new circumstance. Thank you for the comfort he gives. Thank you for pouring out your Spirit over your people. I pray in the name and authority of Jesus, who left to sit at your right hand so the Spirit could come, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” (Colossians 4:6 ESV)
