This prayer was written for Pentecost in May 2024 for Church of the Young Prophets, though I have edited it quite a bit in June 2025. My prayers for YPC/Church of the Young Prophets often began with “God, Creator, Holy One” as part of the church’s push for gender-inclusive/gender-expansive language for God and as my own little project of creating rhythm and ceremony in our services as we grew from a small spiritual gathering on Zoom to a fully fledged church on the gather.town platform.
God, Creator, Holy One,
Join us today in this space as we come together from many places and in many tongues. As we reignite the fire we were born with, the fire you call us to live, to be, let us remember that you are the igniter. You are the spark. You are the heat that bursts our hearts open into holy flame.
God, we move through and in worship with you, let us rejoice, let us praise, and let us come together to celebrate you. God be with your people, God be with me, and God be with our world as a holy light to guide us.
In your many names we pray,
Amen
