The Helper

Come, Holy Spirit, replace the tension within me with a holy relaxation. 

Replace the turbulence within me with a sacred calm. 

Replace the anxiety within me with a quiet confidence. 

Replace the fear within me with a strong faith. 

Replace the bitterness within me with the sweetness of grace. 

Replace the darkness within me with a gentle light. 

Replace the coldness within me with a loving warmth. 

Fill my emptiness. Dull the edge of my pride. 

Sharpen the edge of my humility. 

Let me see myself as You see me, 

that I may see You as You have promised. Amen.

another helper, to be with you forever. ~ John 14:16
