St Paul’s Big Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You are good
and your love endures forever,
and because of your grace and mercy,
we ask that you would
pour out your Holy Spirit
afresh on us.
Spirit of the Living God,
fall afresh on us.
Melt us,
mould us,
fill us, see us.
For the honour
of your name
and the sake
of your kingdom,
here is Newport,
let your will be done.
In the mighty and
wonderful name of Jesus.
Amen
