Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit

Replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation

Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm

Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence

Replace the fear within us with a strong faith

Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace

Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light

Replace the coldness within us with a loving warmth

Replace the night within us with Your day

Replace the winter within us with Your spring

Straighten our crookedness

Fill our emptiness

Dull the edge of our pride

Sharpen the edge of our humility

Light the fires of our love

Quench the flames of our lust

Let us see ourselves as You see us

That we may see You as You have promised us

And be healed according to Your word

Come Holy Ghost

Come Holy Ghost, Creator blest

And in our hearts take up Thy rest

Come with thy grace and heav’nly aid

To fill the hearts which thou hast made
