Isaiah 44:3

For I will pour water on the thirsty land,

    and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my spirit upon your descendants,
    and my blessing on your offspring.

Lord, right now, I need

to be bathed in the Spirit.

I need to be washed

clean by Holy Waters.

I need to stand under

the waterfalls of Holy Living

and listen as Your Spirit pounds

the earth around me.

I need to feel Your presence,

that thunder that rumble.

I need a Holy Spirit storm, Lord.

I need that Breath of the Spirit

to catch me, to lift me off my feet.

I need to be carried in the whirlwind.

I need to feel the earth lurch under me.

I need to be twisted and tossed.

I need to be thrown about.

I need to be lost, Lord.

I need to be out of control,

in order to know that You

are in control.

I need Your Holy Spirit Storm, Lord,

to shake me from my complacency.

But then, after the storm, I need You to still

the restlessness that grows within me.

I need You to howl at me Lord,

and I need You to whisper.

I need You to shout and sing,

and then I need You to whisper and hum.

I need Your Spirit, Lord.

Pour out to me Your Spirit.

Soak me, drench me, in Your love.

Amen.
