O Holy Spirit, dwell in me, <br />And drive away the evil ones, <br />So that I’m freed from temptations, <br />And concentrate on work for God. <br /> <br />O Holy Spirit, be my guide, <br />All through my earthly life till death, <br />And fill my soul with grace enough, <br />That I don’t veer from righteousness. <br /> <br />O Holy Spirit, protect me, <br />From foes that plan my destruction, <br />And block my progress, here on earth, <br />And make my mind crestfallen fast. <br /> <br />O Holy Spirit, watch o’er me, <br />All night and day and when I’m ill, <br />And make my heart and mind steadfast, <br />So that, I tread the road to God. <br /> <br />O Holy Spirit, inspire me <br />To follow conscience without fail, <br />In matters that can confuse minds, <br />Despite my knowledge and wisdom. <br /> <br />O Holy Spirit, be with me, <br />Consoling when grief springs surprise, <br />And when my mind is much disturbed, <br />And drives me to sin’s ravines deep. <br /> <br />O Holy Spirit, be my strength, <br />In everything I do for God, <br />And earn my heaven, while on earth, <br />And fetch more souls for God’s abode. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-1-2009<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-holy-spirit-prayer/
