![The printed prayer over a photograph of light entering a curtained window\.](<https://remnant.truechristian.church/images/articles/834dcbc2-39c5-4942-acc6-234ebca43d1c-1.jpg>)

O Holy Spirit of God come into my heart and fill me;  
 I open up the windows of my soul to let Thee in\.  
 I surrender my whole life to Thee;  
 Come and possess me, fill me with light and truth\.  
 I offer to Thee the one thing I really possess\.  
 My capacity for being filled by Thee\.  
 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 circumstances in which I can best serve Thee,  
 Whether by my actions or 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
