Come, Holy SpiritReplace 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 coldness within us
with a loving warmth.
Replace the night within us
with your light.
Straighten our crookedness.
Fill our emptiness.
Dull 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,
and be fortunate
according to Your word;
"Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God" (Mt. 5:8)
This is one of my favorite prayers, it calms me and gives me peace in times of worry or anxiety.
