Here’s another awesome prayer/meditation from The Valley of Vision…
Spiritus Sanctus
O Holy Spirit,
As the sun is full of light,
the ocean full of water,
Heaven full of glory,
so may my heart be full of thee.
Vain are all divine purpose of love
and the redemption wrought by Jesus
except thou work within,
regenerating by thy power,
giving me eyes to see Jesus,
showing me the realities of the unseen world.
Give me thyself without measure,
as an unimpaired fountain,
as inexhaustible riches.
I bewail my coldness, poverty, emptiness,
Imperfect vision, languid service,
prayerless prayer, praiseless praises.
Suffer me not to grieve or resist thee.
Come as power,
to expel every rebel lust, to reign supreme and keep me thine;
Come as teacher,
leading me into all truth, filling me with all understanding;
Come as love,
that I may adore the Father, and love him as my all;
Come as joy,
to dwell in me, move in me, animate me;
Come as light,
illuminating the Scripture, molding me in its laws;
Come as sanctifier,
body, soul and spirit wholly thine;
Come as helper,
with strength to bless and keep, directing my every step;
Come as beautifier,
bringing order out of confusion, loveliness out of chaos.
Magnify to me thy glory by being magnified in me,
and make me redolent of thy fragrance.
Hi Brian,
Here is something I read in the The Holiest of All by Andrew Murray that I thought I would “trade” with you since what you shared on this post ministered to me.
“May the blessed Master take us with Himself into the high mountain, Mount Sion, where He sits as Priest King upon the throne of power, each of us apart by himself, and prepare for us the blessed vision of seeing Him transfigured before us, seeing Him in His heavenly glory. He will then still be to us the same Jesus we know now. And yet not the same, but His whole Being, bright with the glory and the power of the heavenly life which He holds for us, and waits impart day by day to them who forsake all to follow Him.” ~ Andrew Murray
