The body grows weary, but my hope is in You to renew my strength.I do not fear, for You are with me.I am not dismayed or overwhelmed, for You are my God.

PRAYER FOR FINANCIAL BLESSING

 Great God of love and mercy, you know not only the depths of our hearts but also every situation and turn of circumstance in our lives. You know your children who are struggling with financial difficulties, inability to pay their debts, unemployment, frustration for not being able to provide for their families, and painful uncertainty as to what tomorrow might bring. You know their tears and their prayers and none of them is forgotten before you. For all these people I pray, and especially for those who read this prayer and feel it is...

PRAYER IN TIME OF DEPRESSION, DOUBTS AND CONFUSION

 Father God, in this world of conflict and confusion, my mind is torn apart by questions and doubts that steal my sleep at night and rob me of my peace during the day. But you are my light, the One who lights my flickering candle and keeps it burning. You know all the darkest corners of my soul, the things I try to hide even from myself, and you love me as I am. The stench of my sins did not drive you away from me, but you filled my heart with a strong desire to be healed and a deep longing for you. That's why I come before you today...

AN EVENING VISIT

Be with us, Lord, tonight.  Stay to adore and praise, and give thanks for us while we sleep; to draw down mercy and grace upon the world; to give strength to the suffering souls in purgatory in their long night of waiting.Stay with us, to ward off the anger of God from our crowded cities with their dens of vice, their crimes that call to Heaven for vengeance.Stay with us, to guard the innocent, to sustain the tempted,to raise the fallen, to...

TAKE TIME TO PRAY

I got up early one morning,And rushed right into the day;I had so much to accomplish,I didn’t have time to pray.Troubles just tumbled about me,And heavier came each task."Why doesn’t God help me?" I wondered. He answered, "You didn’t ask."I tried to come into God’s presence;I used all my keys at the lock.God gently and lovingly chided,"Why, child, you didn’t knock."I wanted to see joy and beauty,But the day toiled on gray and bleak.I wondered...

Lord Jesus Christ, I ask today to forgive everyone in my life. I know that You will give me the strength to forgive and I thank You that You love me more than I love myself and want my happiness more than I desire it for myself.

Prayer of Self Surrender

Lord, what do you want me to do?What decision do you want me to make?Where do you want my life to go?The only way I can decide, Lord, is to put myself in your hands.Like a potter takes clay and makes something of it,Like you took a rib and made a woman,Take me and give me whatever shape you want.Or if you want, break the clay to pieces and start over again.Do with me whatever you want. It doesn't matter if I am loved or hated,praised or calumniated,...
