Third Step Prayer For Christians

O HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,

COME INTO MY HEART AND FILL ME.

I OPEN THE WINDOWS OF MY SOUL TO LET YOU IN.

I SURRENDER MY WHOLE LIFE TO YOU.

COME AND POSSESS ME;

FILL ME WITH LIGHT, TRUTH, AND DISCERNMENT.

I OFFER TO YOU THE ONE THING I REALLY POSSESS:

MY CAPACITY FOR BEING FILLED BY YOU.

OF MYSELF I AM AN EMPTY VESSEL

FILL ME SO THAT I MAY LIVE THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT:

THE LIFE OF TRUTH AND GOODNESS,

THE LIFE OF BEAUTY AND LOVE,

THE LIFE OF WISDOM AND STRENGTH.

AND GUIDE ME TODAY IN ALL THINGS.

GUIDE ME TO THE PEOPLE I SHOULD MEET OR HELP….

TO THE CIRCUMSTANCE IN WHICH

I CAN BEST SERVE YOU, WHETHER BY MY ACTIONS OR

BY MY SUFFERINGS.

BUT, ABOVE ALL, MAKE CHRIST TO BE FORMED IN ME

THAT I MAY DETHRONE SELF IN MY HEART

AND MAKE HIM KING SO THAT HE IS IN ME,

AND I IN HIM

TODAY AND FOREVER.               AMEN
