A Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit,

Give me understanding, so I may be gentle with others

who think differently than me.

Give me wisdom, so I can learn from my mistakes.

Give me courage, so I may stand up for what is right.

Give me knowledge, so I may learn about my faith, my

world and myself.

Give me right judgment, so I can make good decisions.

Give me reverence, so I may show how I love you.

Give me wonder and awe in God’s presence, so I may

discover and respect all that God has created.

Help me to use and develop these gifts, and like Jesus,

be a person of love and service.

Amen.
