Here are 4 Most Powerful Prayers to Pray to the Holy Ghost for Increased Power or any other time you are in need of miraculous answers to prayer:
Prayer for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The following prayer is from St. Alphonsus de’ Liguori. In it, we ask the Holy Spirit to grant us His seven gifts. The seven gifts are first enumerated in the Old Testament Book of Isaiah (11: 1-3) and appear in many Christian devotional works, including this prayer:
Holy Spirit, divine Consoler, I adore You as my true God,
with God the Father and God the Son.
I adore You and unite myself to the adoration
You receive from the angels and saints.
I give You my heart and I offer my ardent thanksgiving
for all the grace which You never cease to bestow on me.
O Giver of all supernatural gifts, who filled the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with such immense favors,
I beg You to visit me with Your grace and Your love
and to grant me the gift of Holy Fear,
so that it may act on me as a check to prevent me
from falling back into my past sins, for which I beg pardon.
Grant me the gift of Piety, so that I may serve
You for the future with increased fervor,
follow with more promptness Your holy inspirations,
and observe Your divine precepts with greater fidelity.
Grant me the gift of Knowledge, so that I may know the things of God and, enlightened by Your holy teaching, may walk, without deviation,
in the path of eternal salvation.
Grant me the gift of Fortitude, so that I may overcome courageously all the assaults of the devil, and all the dangers of this world
which threaten the salvation of my soul.
Grant me the gift of Counsel, so that I may choose what is more conducive
to my spiritual advancement and may discover the wiles and snares of the tempter.
Grant me the gift of Understanding, so that I may apprehend the divine mysteries and by contemplation of heavenly things detach my thoughts and affections from the vain things of this miserable world.
Grant me the gift of Wisdom, so that I may rightly direct all my actions, referring them to God as my last end; so that, having loved Him and served Him in this life,
I may have the happiness of possessing Him eternally in the next. Amen.
Litany of the Holy Spirit
This litany reminds us of the many attributes of the Holy Spirit (including the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit), while asking for His guidance and grace as we struggle to grow in the spiritual life. While the litany is not approved for public use, it can be prayed privately, by yourself or with your family or a small group. It would be especially appropriate to pray the litany on Pentecost.
*In the central part of the litany, the italicized response (“have mercy on us”) should be recited after each line.
