O God, help me to bear in my life the fruit of SELF-CONTROL.
Self-control doesn’t come easily to me. Please forgive me for the times I have said and done things rashly. Please remind me to consider self-control as “God-control” – not trying to control myself with human effort, but rather depending on You to fill me with the Holy Spirit so I can be self-controlled. I ask that You would make that supernatural change in me so I can keep in step with the Holy Spirit. My desire is to have the fruit of Your Spirit evident in my life, especially self-control. Please remind me to go to You when I am tempted, as I know Your promise to “strengthen me and provide a way so that I can overcome my temptations” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Thank you for promising Your Holy Spirit to all who ask (Luke 11:13)! As I wake each morning, please remind me to ask for a fresh in-filling of Your Holy Spirit. I make this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Prayer for Everyday of The Novena:
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Your Love. Send forth Your Spirit, and we shall be created; and You will renew the face of the earth.
1 Our Father. 1 Hail Mary. 1 Glory Be.
LET US PRAY: O God Eternal, You instructed the hearts of Your faithful with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Give us the same Spirit under His Divine Inspiration, may we have a sense of what is true and a taste for what is good, and so always experience the fruit of His consolation. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, keep us from all evil and lead us to everlasting life. Amen.
Praise and thanks be to God!
