Lord, Draw Near Today: A Prayer of Thanks

Today,

I'm still breathing God.

I'm living.

And I'm thankful for

Your animating presence.

O Ruach, O Spirit-Breath,

Who renews

And can create and re-create from chaos,

May You be present

Today.

Bestow your presence

Upon me and

Instill in me

Awareness and

Attentiveness to

Your pneumatic essence

Today.

Today,

Breathe in me,

On me,

Around me,

Through me, and

Out of me.

Draw near, O Spirit.

Draw near,

Today.
