O Holy Spirit, who delves into all things,
even the deep things of God and the deep things of man,
we ask you to penetrate the springs of personality
of all who are sick in mind,
to bring them cleansing, healing, and unity.
Sanctify all memory, dispel all fear,
bring them to love you with all their mind and will,
that they may be made whole
and glorify you forever.
Give special skills and tender hearts to all who care for them,
and show them how best to assist in your work of healing and wholeness.
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
George Appleton (1902-1993) & Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926-) Anglican Bishops

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves.
Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.
Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
