Prayers For Strength

Give Me Strength, Lord

Lord, you are Holy above all others, and all of the strength that I need is in your hands.

I am not asking, Lord, that you take this trial away. Instead, I simply ask that Your will be done in my life. Whatever that means, that is what I want.

But I admit that it's hard, Lord.

Sometimes I feel like I can’t go on. The pain and the fear are too much for me, and I know that I don’t have the strength on my own to get through this.

I know that I can come to you, Jesus, and that you will hear my prayer. I know that it is not your intent to bring me to this point just to leave me in the wilderness alone.

Please, Lord, give me the strength that I need to face today. don't have to worry about tomorrow.

If you just give me the strength that I need today that is all I need.

Keep me from sinning during this trial. Instead, help me to keep my eyes on you. You are the Holy Lord, and all of my hope rests in you.

Thank you for hearing my prayer.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

.

For Strength and Wisdom

Thank you, Lord, for being there for me and allowing me to cry out to you in my times of need.

It is amazing to me that the Lord of the Universe would take time to listen to me and to care about what I say.

God, there are things happening around me right now that I do not understand. Some of these things make me feel weak, helpless and afraid.

Even in the midst of this, I know that you are the Lord.

I know that the situation is in Your hand, and I trust You.

I beseech you for strength and for wisdom that I would be able to endure this situation and be able to handle it in a way that would bring glory to Your name.

In Jesus name. Amen.

Prayer for Overcoming Life's Hardships

O Lord, we call upon You in our time of sorrow, That You give us the strength and will to bear our heavy burdens, until we can again feel the warmth and love of Your divine compassion. Be mindful of us and have mercy on us while we struggle to comprehend life's hardships.

Keep us ever in Your watch, til we can walk again with light hearts and renewed spirits.

Strength for a Friend

Lord, I come before you today knowing that all power is in Your hand. I know that you are the Lord and that you care for your people. Right now, my friend is struggling with a difficult trial. I can see her strength is faltering, Lord, and know that you have all of the strength that she needs.

I pray that you will reach down and touch her right now wherever she is at this moment. Let your presence fill the room where she is and let her feel an extra portion of your strength that can help her to get through this day.

She needs you now, Lord, and I thank you in advance for meeting her where she is and shoring up her strength during this difficult time.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

Prayers for Strength and Courage

Say these prayers when you're in need of strength and courage. Day to day troubles are no match for the power of the Lord.

To be Grateful

Lord God, may we be grateful for our lot, and compassionate toward all those who are suffering every kind of distress at this difficult time.

May we hold back nothing, and hasten to be the ministers of prayer and mercy, like the disciples of Him who went about doing good in times of need. Amen

Prayer for Guidance and Help

Dear Lord, I am calling upon you today for your divine guidance and help. I am in crisis and need a supporting hand to keep me on the right and just path.

My heart is troubled but I will strive to keep it set on you, as your infinite wisdom will show me the right way to a just and right resolution. Thank you for hearing my prayer and for staying by my side.

Amen!

When I Pray

When I pray, it makes me feel good, as praying is easy. I pray anytime, anywhere, any place when opportunity arise. But what I am guilty of is keeping up with prayer, to maintain a prayerful life in a sense that I pray with no rush in mind. To pray as if it is the most important thing to do for the day, more important than my plans for the day. To pray, when distractions and temptations dance around me. To pray when there is struggle within me whether to do the right thing or go astray. To pray, not because it makes me feel good but because it makes my Mother Mary happy.

Short Prayer Reflections

I am miserable, a prisoner of my soul, loaded with fetters until you comfort me with the light of Your presence and restore me to hope by Your touch of love.

O Mary, my mother, grant that I may always show your virtues in my actions and words. Lay your mantel upon me, so I may live in accordance to your Son's way.

To seek God first, hoping to be always first in His list. Therefore, I seek the Lord with all might, soul and mind for he is the way, the truth and the life.

Now I am starting to believe that all is not lost when anything happens contrary to what you have wanted. In every failure, something good is awaiting, it is for you to discover - with faith in heart. It will be accordingly...

I will speak to my Lord as if I am dust and ashes, a nothing, when the wind blows, I disappears. For HE is my creator and dust will I be according to HIS WILL.

Strive thyself to be good and faithful servant of the Lord, to bravely bear our cross with love, hope and peace for HE died for us because of HIS Love for us, hope for our wickedness and to shower peace into our hearts.

Resolve on something definite, against those things that hinder us from getting closer to our Dear Mother Mary and to examine ourselves, INTERIOR and EXTERIOR, as both are necessary for our advancement in faith.

Loving Mary intimately is learning divine things and speaking in wonders. One learn to abandon material things and be free from attachment in this world, for Mary is enough as our attachment to God.

I acknowledge myself unworthy of divine consolation but worthy of more sufferings to cleanse me from my pride, anger and judgments...so help me Mother Mary.

There are many who, when things do not go the way they want it to be, immediately lose their desire to pray and becomes bitter to God's love. Mary never did...

Grant O God, that I may love You as You deserved to be loved with all my soul, my mind and my heart. Love for all times - all occasions and all circumstances...

We have to remember that we survived because of our faith. Without faith, we wither like plants without water.

The road maybe be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous and ordinary but it leads to the most amazing view...The paradise to heaven.

May all humankind offer blessings to each other, let go of any anger, so we may live peacefully.

Let the heavens be your guide and nature your companion when you are in confusion...for it is God who gave us life and by His grace we make decisions through His whispers in the wind.

Jesus is the only religious leader that is risen from the dead and was born through Mary, The Immaculate Conception. Do we need more proof?

In times of need, remember that each of us has a strength as vast as the ocean and as strong as the wind that is always ready within us, if we only believe that we can because God is in our hearts and He provides.

For a real spiritual exercise this Holy Week, please join your parish celebration of the Easter Triduum which will begin today, Thursday and will end on Saturday's Easter Vigil. Check with your parish the schedule of these three most beautiful liturgies. It's the simple way of reminding ourselves how Jesus sacrificed for us.

The Blessed Virgin Mary = The Godbearer.

May I learn to say YES when God ask me to help the needy.

Learn to say YES when ask to pray for the lost ones who can't find their way.

May I learn to say YES when ask to share my time to those lonely believers.

and learn to say YES, by extending my hands to those who are suffering...

Sweet Mary, teach me to be sweet like you. To be sweet to others and to my self when life turns sour. To be sweet inspite of the bitterness that visits my life some days. To use sweetness as my weapon to help others see the sweetness of you - loving us like your own child, like our brother God Jesus.

And her name is Mary. Simple yet blessed, and with her faith, she said "yes, I am the servant of the Lord, be it done to me according to Thy will" How many of us can say "Yes" with faith in our hearts? A yes that let God take care of us? It is tough bur with God nothing is impossible. Be like Mary, say Yes to God.

Having a bad day? Talk to the Blessed Virgin Mary and you'll be happy! She who is always comforting - with her soft and gentle whispers - and a smile that never fades. Then hug your mother if you have one or hug a mother of a friend if you have none. You will be amazed...

Make the Blessed Virgin Mary the Queen in your family. She who is in heaven before us. The children will love Mary just as their caring mother's daily cooking, cleaning, preparing and working, a way to show the children the beautiful Love of Mary to Jesus and the child Jesus as their example of a good child.

Blessed Virgin Mary, your mantle of love is what keeps me going in love...to others. Show you care for others is something the Blessed Virgin Mary would be smiling upon you and lay the mantle of love to protect you...

Mother Mary, what a lovely mother you are to me. When I am sad, your face is suffice to brighten my day because I see that love in your eyes, your love for me - even in the darkest moment of my thoughts. Those eyes that looked through my soul, connecting with gentleness, wakes me up from the dark to see the light again.

Mary holds Christ in her left hand and with her right hand she "shows the way" by pointing to Him...

A 4 year old girl was told that reciting the rosary is like making a necklace made of roses for a mother dear. She would like to offer a rosary to Mother Mary but she can't read yet. Here is how her rosary go while holding the rosary in her tiny hands:

Our Father

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Glory Be.

She did it 5 times for the 5 Mysteries and was glad to offer a rosary to Mother Mary in her own little way.

Like the leaves falling everyday, it is Mother Mary's way of giving love through the leaves that come my way. While the tree stood still to give shade, Mother Mary represents that tree, standing still - always there and reminds us of her love.

Let Mother Mary hold your hand like your mother holding your hand when you were younger, walking hand in hand, together, and with love for each other...

For those mothers who are suffering from hardship these days, be it work, family matters and financial difficulty, we pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary that they will have enough faith to offer it to Jesus through Mary, wisdom to decide for the Glory of God, and to just let it happen for a reason only God knows...

GIVE UP!

Give up grumbling! Instead, “In everything, give thanks.” Constructive criticism is okay, but “moaning, groaning, and complaining” are not Christian disciplines.

Give up 10-15 minutes in bed! Instead, use that time in prayer, bible study and personal devotion.

Give up looking at other people’s worst points.. Instead concentrate on their best points. We all have faults. It is a lot easier to have people overlook our shortcomings when we overlook theirs first.

Give up speaking unkindly. Instead, let your speech be generous and understanding. It costs so little to say something kind and uplifting. Why not check that sharp tongue at the door?

Give up your hatred of anyone or anything. Instead, trust God with them. Anxiety is spending emotional energy on something we can do nothing about: like tomorrow! Live today and let God’s grace be sufficient.

Give up one evening a week! Instead, visit some lonely or sick person. There are those who are isolated by illness or age. Why isolate yourself in front of the “tube”? Give someone a precious gift of your time!

Give up buying anything but essentials for yourself! Instead, give the money to God. The money you would spend on the luxuries could help someone meet basic needs. We are called to be stewards of God’s riches, not consumers.

Give up judging by appearances and by the standards of the world! Instead, learn to give yourself up to God. There is only one who has the right to judge, Jesus Christ.

Tuck me in Your Love

Lay your veil of love on our forehead and let us see the love shining in each person's heart. With this veil, we need not speak of love but show it to whoever needs love the most. May your veil of love upon us be a reminder of your love and to share it as you have shown to us without any condition and questions. May we be the bearer of your love to others and to our self. For if love is not present, the world will be filled with hate: thus a victory for the evil. 

O Mary, my mother, please tuck me in Your love.

O Mary, conceived without sin - pray for us who have recourse to thee...

Afflictions and temptations

Afflictions and temptations can be of great use to us at times for it makes us go back to God's love when we realized our weakness and faults. Those are the moments when we begin to examine ourselves and humbly admit that we own our decisions in doing so because we knew beforehand - it is wrong but I am in denial. The moment we question why we hurt Jesus, is a moment of understanding what we did was wrong, therefore, ask God's forgiveness and forgive oneself to move on with God's grace, correct the wrong though difficult it may be and never pass that path once more.

A CHILD'S PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

O Most Holy Virgin Mother, 
we listen with grief to the complaints 
of your Immaculate Heart 
surrounded with the thorns placed therein 
at every moment by the blasphemies 
and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity. 
We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother 
and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart.

We therefore kneel before you 
to manifest the sorrow we feel 
for the grievances that people cause you, 
and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices 
for the offenses with which they return return your love. 
Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. 
Hasten the conversion of sinners 
that they may love Jesus 
and cease to offend the Lord, 
already so much offended. 
Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, 
that we may love God with all our heart on earth 
and enjoy Him forever in heaven.

Amen.

Follow Jesus

Many follow Jesus to the breaking of bread but few followed when it's time to drink the chalice of passion - saving us from sin. Many venerate Him for miracles performed but few take up their cross and let Jesus carry it alone.
Doesn't it sound like many love Jesus in time of prosperity and stay away when face with adversity? Is it like praising Him and adoring Him when we receive consolation and distant our self when wishes were  not granted even if it meant He loved us, so as to keep us from harm?
God is love, trust in Him like the way Mother Mary trusted His words even if it is impossible to understand.

Year 2013 will be here

Today is the last day of the year 2012 and the link to the new year that is unfolding in less than a day, as year 2013 will be here soon. There is no stopping as it will arrive as planned.

Looking back, the year has been a mixed of everything - Good and bad, from happiness to loneliness, excitement at times, devastation during certain circumstances, experiencing joy in a profound way and love that is within each heart who acknowledge that love still exists in a world covered with pain. This year may become our mirror to ask oneself what is missing in this existence?  Why we have witnessed violence in so many ways and is disheartening to everyone.  

It is about time we surrender it all to God. As the year ends, we offer it in the altar and start anew. Let us remember that we survived this year through it all. It is a blessing.

Start the new year with a new anticipation. New ME - a new faith that is burning with love for God, a new mind that is focus on knowing, serving and loving God, a new soul that is living a life in accordance to God's ways and everything will fall in the right palce.

Mother Mary will always be looking down on us, cradle us when we are afraid, and strengthen us with Her love when we falter. She never fails to encourage anyone who wish to get closer to Her Son, Jesus.

Prayer of the day

Bestow upon me, O Jesus, that interior peace, which is full of hope and renders us of Your grace during this joyous season while Mother Mary remind us to be faithful in corresponding with your wonderful love for us. May that peace whose companions are the spirit of poverty while you lay in a manger, humility of heart from recognizing Your will and freedom from all earthly attachments increase our faith as we welcome the new year that is unfolding in a few days. Grant that my passions be subject to reason, my reason to faith and I to God. Amen.

A Letter from Hobby Lobby Stores CEO

Please share if you care...

A Letter from Hobby Lobby Stores CEO

By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn't much bigger than most people's living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God's word. From there,Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation's largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.

We're Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I've always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God's laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God's grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We've not only added jobs in a weak economy, we've raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.

But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government health care mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don't pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don't cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one. If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.

Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that's raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It's not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it's the same for everybody. But that's not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won't exempt them for reasons of religious belief.

So, Hobby Lobby � and my family � are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don't like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that's a choice no American � and no American business � should have to make.

The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.

Since you will not see this covered in any of the liberal media, pass this on to all your contacts.

Sincerely,

David Green, CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
