Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Do you ever have difficulty
finding the time to pray? Maybe you have the time, but not the
motivation? Maybe the motivation, but not the words?
Since sometimes I too find myself
in need, I thought I’d write a prayer for families and share it with you. Print it and slip it in your wallet for when
you are short on time, short on motivation, at a loss for words, but still have
a willing spirit.
Heavenly Father, I come before you in a quiet moment, fully
aware of my need of your grace. Alone, I
can feel hopeless. Or at least
hopelessly tired. With you, my hope
soars, my spirit awakens. Hear my
prayer, that as a parent, I be given the grace to imitate your example of unconditional
love for my children and spouse.
Lord Jesus, may we as a family contemplate your
fidelity to obedience, not only within the Holy Family, but also to the will of
your heavenly Father. Bless my family and
teach us how to imitate you. Meet each
member of my family exactly where they are at, giving them exactly what they
need to grow in faith and fidelity.
Holy Spirit, fill us with your Love, that we may
generously share that Love with each other.
May this exchange bring your Light into the darkness of our hearts. May this growth in Love transform us,
bringing us a joy and peace that this world cannot offer.
Blessed Mother, may I imitate your example of complete
humility, focusing not on myself, but on the needs of others. Like you, may I encourage all to focus their
attention on your Son. May we all hear
your voice,
"Do whatever he tells you."
John
2:5
and confidently comply with your request. Guide us into a perfect union with your Son.
St. Joseph, loving husband of Mary, may I be inspired
by your strong and selfless devotion to your family. May I too protect my
family by lovingly teaching my children, both young and old, all that I know to
be good and true.
Sweet Jesus, may my quiet prayers, spoken in the
recesses of my heart, be received by you with joy. With bold confidence I pray, Amen.
Thank you for your commitment
to prayer.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
