Learning to Pray, "Come, Holy Spirit!"

When was the last time you prayed for the Holy Spirit? The person and work of the Spirit sometimes seem mysterious, if not confusing. We pray to the Father and the Son while the Spirit often remains behind the scenes, a silent partner in God's Work in the world. But the Scriptures envision so much more.

Over the course of 40 days, this Discipleship Travel Log explores the role of the Spirit as a sculptor who shapes us to look more like Jesus. The daily Scripture readings, devotions, and prayers help you lean into the work of the Spirit in your everyday life. Custom-made Faith Experiments will help you:

✓ Try Something New
You will be equipped and encouraged to run discipleship experiments and find a tool to take with you on your journey of faith.

✓ Find a Next Step
As you explore God's Word, you'll begin to look for the response the Sculptor Spirit is shaping in you.

✓ Get into a Groove
Over the course of these 40 days, you will practice a rhythm of innovation and experimentation for the sake of the Gospel.

The Spirit is already working in your life. The Father gladly gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask. Today is a good day to pray, "Come, Holy Spirit! Help me take a small next step."

How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask! (Luke 11:13)

★★★★★

"To guide and equip you in the lifelong journey of Christlike discipleship, I commend the work of my friend and colleague Justin Rossow. Through his rich and insightful devotional writing, he will strengthen your knowledge of and trust in the Sculptor Spirit's formative work in your life."

From the Foreword by Leopoldo Sánchez, author of Sculptor Spirit: Models of Sanctification from Spirit Christology.

The Spirit at Work in You

By looking at how the Spirit worked in the life of Jesus, we see more clearly how the Spirit still works in our lives. Over the course of 40 guided readings and prayers, Come, Holy Spirit explores each of these themes in depth:

• Renewal: Daily dying and rising in baptism.
• Spiritual Warfare: Struggle and temptation.
• Pouring: Filled up and overflowing to others.
• Hospitality: A heart for outsiders.
• Rhythm: A pattern of rest, work, and play.

How do you see these activities of the Sculptor Spirit at work in you and in your life right now?

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (Psalm 138:8) "You, Follow Me!"

The series title comes from Jesus' invitation to Peter not only at the very beginning of the Gospels, but at the very end. That invitation is for you, too!

Volume 4: Easter to Pentecost

You can take this 40-day journey any time during the year. Right now, today, is always a good time to learn more about the Spirit and grow in dependence on Jesus.

And the work of Jesus finds a natural culmination in the events of Good Friday and Easter, and the work of the Spirit is on unique display at Pentecost.

If you start Day 1 of this journey on one of the Saturdays after Easter, Day 40 will come right around Pentecost Sunday. Start whenever you are ready; or set aside special time after Easter: either way, the Spirit promises to be present and active in your life.
