I’m comfortable calling God by name, and Jesus. But how often do I actually talk to the Holy Spirit?
I find myself talking about the Holy Spirit in the third person** more than directly.
But because the Holy Spirit IS the triune God as much as the Father and the Son, I need to speak more directly to Him. Or Her, as some might suggest – the English language struggles.
My dear and loving Spirit, I ask for Your encouragement, Your perspective, Your support.
I ask that You help me to always stay connected with Your Larger Purpose, and what the Father and the Son have taught us.
And I ask this in Your name, Holy Spirit, because I want to stay connected, inspired, and true to You.
Amen.
** That’s a Catholic joke.
