Looking for the wise ones here to give me the best prayers and oldest ones to the Holy Spirit if anyone has time to give me links, or to print out for me.

I am currently in discussion with a former SDA who is entirely confused about the Eastern Orthodox and she is so confused and even thinks Eastern Orthodox dont consider the Holy Spirit to be God, so I dont know what to do but pray for her to get some understanding on the matter, as I dont have any time to debate with her on this matter. She is stuck in this false idea that neither of us are monotheistic, and I was hoping giving her some prayers would open up her eyes and the scales may fall off.
 
I like the very traditional one that begins:

‘Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love…’

Whose faithful was that again? Definitely the Holy Spirit is being invoked as God in his own right here
 
I don’t know if it is the oldest, but it is probably one of the most common in the east. It explicitly says that the Holy Spirit is God, too.

O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of truth, who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life: come, and dwell within us, cleanse us from all stain, and save our souls O gracious Lord.
 
She doesn’t think we’re monotheistic? Simply point her to the nearest copy of the Apostle’s Creed or Nicene Creed where it says ‘we believe in ONE God’ and ask her if she thinks we’ve been lying every week when we say those words?
 
SDA??? Seventh Day Adventist?

In any case, and since I could probably use some typing practice, here’s the nightly prayer to the Holy Spirit (from the Jordanville Prayer Book):

O Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, show compassion and have mercy on me Thy sinful servant, and loose me from my unworthiness, and forgive all wherein I have sinned against Thee today as a man, and not only as a man, but even worse than a beast, my sins voluntary and involuntary, known and unknown, whether from youth, and from evil suggestion, or whether from brazenness and despondency. If I have sworn by Thy name, or blasphemed it in my thought; or grieved anyone, or have become angry about anything; or have lied, or slept needlessly, or if a beggar hath come to me and I disdained him; or if I have grieved my brother, or have quarrelled, or have condemned anyone; or if I have been boastful, or prideful, or angry; if, as I stood at prayer, my mind hath been distracted by the wiles of the world, or by thoughts of depravity; if I have over-eaten, or have drunk excessively, or laughed frivously; if I have thought evil, or seen the beauty of another and been wounded thereby in my heart; if I have said improper things, or derided my brother’s sin when my own sins are countless; if I have been neglectful of prayer, or have done some other wrong that I do not remember, for all of this and more than this have I done: have mercy, O Master my Creator, on me Thy downcast and unworthy servant, and loose me, and remit, and forgive me, for Thou art good and the Lover of mankind, so that lustful, sinful, and wretched as I am, I may lie down and sleep and rest in peace. And I shall worship, and hymn, and glorify Thy most honourable Name, together with the Father and His only-begotten Son, now and ever, and unto the ages. Amen.
 
Sunday of Pentecost: at Great Vespers - Doxastichon in the Fourth Plagal Mode, by the Emperor Leo.
Come, you peoples, let us worship the Godhead in three persons, the Son in the Father, with the Holy Spirit; for the Father timelessly begot the Son, co-eternal and co-reigning, and the Holy Spirit was in the Father, glorified with the Son; one power, one essence, one Godhead, whom we all worship as we say: Holy God, who created all things through the Son, with the co-operation of the Holy Spirit. Holy Strong, through whom we have come to know the Father, and through whom the Holy Spirit came into the world. Holy Immortal, the Advocate Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and rests in the Son. Holy Trinity, glory to you.

Veni Sancte Spiritus

Veni Sancte Spiritus,
Et emitte caelitus
Lucis tuae radium.
Veni, pater pauperum,
Veni, dator munerum,
Veni, lumen cordium.

Consolator optime,
Dulcis hospes animae,
Dulce refrigerium;
In labore requies,
In aestu temperies,
In fletu solatium.

O lux beatissima,
Reple cordis intima
Tuorum fidelium!
Sine tuo numine
Nihil est in homine,
Nihil est innoxium.

Lava quod est sordidum,
Riga quod est aridum,
Sana quod est saucium;
Flecte quod est rigidum,
Fove quod est frigidum,
Rege quod est devium.

Da tuis fidelibus
In te confidentibus
Sacrum septenarium;
Da virtutis meritum,
Da salutis exitum,
Da perenne gaudium. Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, and from heaven direct on man the rays of Your light. Come, Father of the poor; come, Giver of God’s gifts; come, Light of men’s hearts. Kindly Paraclete, in Your gracious visits to man’s soul You bring relief and consolation. If it is weary with toil, You bring it ease; in the heat of temptation, Your grace cools it; if sorrowful, Your words console it. Light most blessed, shine on the hearts of Your faithful—even into their darkest corners; for without Your help there is nothing good in man, and nothing is innocent. Wash clean the injured soul. Soften the hard of heart, warm the cold of heart, and direct the wayward. Grant the seven holy gifts to Your faithful, for their trust is in You. Grant reward for their virtue; grant them death that ensures salvation; grant them everlasting bliss. Amen.

I am so blessed to have so many who have cared enough to respond here, I am at a loss for words.

May the Holy Spirit be glorifyed in this, in our sharing

Lord Almighty, thank you so much that I have my brothers and sisters in Christ to help me in all things. When adversity falls, I know I can come here, and find help in times of need.

Each one of you and others, who know who they are-

Have helped me and enriched my prayer life.

to you all I am grateful.

To you all I ask we pray these prayers together in unison.

I know I will.

Thank you for your help.

If anyone will pray for this lady, please keep her in mind in your intentions.

We let the Lord decide where she shall go from here.

We merely pray God’s will be done.
