Holy Spirit, Please Come In...

Holy Spirit, I ask you to be

my "invited guest."

Lately, my life's been "quite a mess."

I ask you to take complete

possession and control.

The garbage in my life...

simply must go!

The many night I have cried myself to sleep.

I now feel like I'm in a pit-

ever so deep!

Only you can bring peace to

my desperate situation.

I extend to you a heartfelt invitation!

As you renew my mind...my thoughts

and words spoken.

May my life be tender, yielded

and broken.

I will then enjoy life the way

God intended it to be.

For I need much more of you,

and a lot less of me!

Thank you for the work in my

life you're anxious to do.

I really have begun

to appreciate YOU!

Holy Spirit... you're so forgiving,

loving and kind.

You have been there for me

each and every time.

As I eat of God's word-

my daily bread.

Please mold me and use me

in the days ahead!
