December 24 – Evening

Read

John answered them all, ‘I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.’

(Luke 3:16)

Pray

Dear God,

You are the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire, and I am in need of both in my life. I pray for a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit, filling me up with Your power and presence. May Your fire ignite a passion within me for Your kingdom and Your will. Help me to live a life that reflects the fire of Your love and the power of Your Spirit.

I pray that You would fill me with boldness and courage to be a witness for You, sharing Your love and truth with those around me. Stir in my heart a burning desire to see others come to know You and experience the life-changing power of Your Spirit. Help me to live with urgency and purpose, knowing that time is short and the need for Your Spirit is great. Thank You for the promise of Your Holy Spirit and the fire of Your love.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
