Heaven's Power Poured Out on Earth!
Happy Birthday Christian Church and here we go with the blog!

In our Lutheran liturgy the Prayer of the Day was the following:
Holy Spirit, God and Lord, come to us this joyful day with your sevenfold gift of grace. Rekindle in our hearts the holy fire of your love that in a true and living faith we may tell abroad the glory of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Father, one God, now and forever.
One thing I love about liturgical worship is all the rich content and meat that just fills every line said. I led this prayer today, and praying it felt like the proverbial drinking from a fire hose because there's so much to meditate on and appreciate from this prayer.
But one thing that especially struck me today was, "What are we asking God for when we pray for the Spirit?" I think the prayer is well-worded, and maybe more could be elaborated on.
