Spirit of God, source of life and flame that has chosen to live in us, call us continually to reach out and connect with you as the source of our life and faith, that in relationship and connection with you, we might find power to live well and to experience the love that brings security and love forever, through Jesus Christ our Lord who reigns with the Father in you, one Trinity of power and love, world without end. Amen. ‘For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.’ – 2 Tim. 1:6-7
