Preparation for Personal Prayer

Holy Spirit, breath of God and fire of love, I cannot pray without your aid: Kindle in me the fire of your love, and illumine me with your light; that with a steadfast will and holy thoughts I may approach the Father in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ my Lord, who reigns with you and the Father in eternal union. Amen.

A 2019 Anglican collect written to walk straight out of Ezekiel's valley of dry bones, asking God to breathe the same Spirit-breath that raised Israel's bones into the Church gathered at the Easter Vigil.
