Prayer for Pentecost









God of Pentecost,

We come to you as people who want to discern your presence among us,
who long to know your words and your visions for our world.
Yet we confess that we hear the voices of some - the marginalized, the forgotten, the outcasts - and we turn our ears away, devaluing the Voice of Your Spirit as it is found among them.

Rather than adding our voices in the chorus of your Word for today's world,
we often remain silent, forgetting that we too are a sacred part of your vision,
small and incomplete on our own, and yet truly empowered by yourHoly Spirit.
Give us grace, we pray.
Sweep us into your vision.
Help us add our voices to the multitude of those you have formed as witnesses.
We pray in the Spirit,
Amen.
