Psalm 4

Acts 3:1-10
You know our thoughts and hearts. We harbour anger, hatred, jealousy, and selfishness. We worship other gods and participate in actions that break our connection to you. The law shows no mercy or compassion. We do not want to be under the law; we want to follow you. Thank you for pruning us, for removing the dead growth. Thank you Life Giving Spirit for gently caring and tending to us. So we can produce love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control.
Life has returned to winterlands. Nests are filled, trees prepare to bloom, and warm winds blow through the fields. Life-giving Spirit breathes through and around all creation. All beings remember the feeling of her breath, and lean into her embrace and kisses as she passes by.
We enter your sacred prayer space, and we are embraced by your light. Your light reveals even the places we have held private in our hearts. You do not condemn us for our dark secrets; Life-giving Spirit lovingly blows into us, pushing the darkness away.
