Beautiful Spirit

Ruach Hakodesh,

Holy Spirit of the living God,

you bring peace,

like folds of fine silk upon my skin.

You bring comfort,

releasing grace as a cozy fire within.

Your whispers and guidance,

reveal the King’s heart and thoughts,

grounding me, healing me,

directing me back to my Lord.

You settle so lightly upon me,

that I dare not breathe,

gentle as a dove,

exquisite and fair as the moon,

soft and bright as the sun.

Mysterious, beautiful,

tender as a zephyr,

more powerful than hurricane,

you live within me,

this fragile body,

choosing this broken, earthen vessel,

and making me holy.

Marking me, setting me apart.

I’m forever changed and I welcome your presence,

I love you Spirit.

Amen.
