Sunday, March 22, 2026 — 1 Corinthians 3:16

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

COME DWELL WITHIN ME, O GOD

Come dwell within me, O God.
Make my body and mind and spirit
Your holy habitation.

Come dwell within me.
Fill me with your grace.
Cast out my fear.
Heal my hurts.
Free me from past disappointment and self-doubt.

Come, dwell within me, O God.
Fill me from my pinky toe to the tip top of my head
With the love of you.
Feed me now and evermore! *

Come dwell within me, O God.
Take up residence within me, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.**
You love every part of your creation
And take delight in me and my body!

Come dwell within me, O God.
Cast out my shame and fill me with your wonder!

Come dwell within me, O God.

Dear God,

Thank you for creating me and loving me like you do.

Thank you for my body and mind and spirit, and how all are wound together in one being. Let me be a wonderful host to your loving spirit. Amen

Deacon Joanne Hickey

 

* “Feed me till I want no more” is a line from verse 1 of ELW 618 “Guide Me Ever, Great Redeemer”
