Pour out Your Spirit, Lord

How does it happen?
How do we bring unity?
How do we become more connected
to the Lord and to each other?
How do we walk in the light of the Kingdom?
How are we light in the darkness of this world?

It is so easy to focus on the things around us, Lord.
it is so easy to get swept into the ACTIVITY of the day.

We want to see You, Lord!
We want to see everything in this world in light of Your Kingdom!

We can't do it.
We can't bring unity.
We can't connect.
We can't walk in light.
We fall down.  Over and over again, we fall down.

You have to do it in us, Lord.
How do we become open to Your work in us?

We need to draw aside from this terribly wild world,
from the constant busyness, from the non-stop advertisements,
from the noise, from the drama, from the distractions.
We need to draw aside and step into the quiet
and open Your Word
and let You touch us.

Draw us.
Touch us.
Fill us, Lord.

Pour out Your Spirit upon us!
We are thirsty, Lord!
