EfM Prayer



God the Holy Spirit,

You come to us in different ways based on what we need,

We thank you for providing for our needs

When you call us to do something; for always

being there even when we don't know it.

We pray that we realize that faith is sometimes

a rollercoaster. Fasten our seatbelts Lord,

and help us hang on.

Help us learn to have the faith of a child

in knowing that you are always with us.

In Jesus Name, Amen
