From the website Stay Great … “Father, you created me and put me on earth for a purpose. Jesus, you died for me and called me to complete your work. Holy Spirit, you help me carry out the work for which I was created and called. In your presence and name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I begin my meditation. May all my thoughts and inspirations have their origin in you and be directed to your greater honor and glory.”
Simple and direct. I love the way all three are combined in a cascade of meaning. I do not often meditate but I appreciate this prayer, because it brings all three entities … Father, Son and Holy Ghost … into sharp focus in relation to our purpose.
May our purpose be defined by that Holy Trinity. It is there to guide us in completing God’s work, the work of His Son Jesus. We can lean on the Holy Spirit to inspire us to greater good … it is all around us, an ephemeral but real force within us and always in the world around us. Our choices can be defined in faith, through Him who offers the guiding light of that spirit. When we use the Holy Spirit in our daily lives, we honor the full Trinity … all glory and honor is theirs.
