Please pray for knowing God’s true plan and direction in my life, and when it should come to it, making the best decision about a matter over which I’ve been struggling for quite some time, and having the courage to do it, with God’s blessings and love…thank you all…:o
 
You got it…esp. @Mass & Rosary.

May I recommend a very good book…for your consideration:
How to Listen When God Is Speaking: A Guide for Modern-Day Catholics [Paperback]
Mitch Pacwa (Author)
Click to expand...
How do we** listen to God speak to our hearts, minds, and wills–especially above the noise and stress of the modern world?** What is the process of discerning God’s will? Best-selling author and popular EWTN host Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, tackles these and other questions in this comprehensive book on discernment. He says that first we need to believe in God and his moral laws and make a commitment to please him in all that we do. Then we need to pray so that we can experience the peace that can come only from God.

Fr. Pacwa draws from St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, using plenty of everyday examples as well as stories from Scripture to help clarify his points. He encourages readers to develop a rich prayer life and says we can learn to listen to God’s powerful voice and hear him speaking lovingly to us even when we are suffering in some way.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
May our Lord’s holy will be done in your life with no obstacles to his holy will. May he grant you surrender to his will and abandonment to his providence. May you know our Lord’s will for you and carry it out with generosity. Amen.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Thank you ALL for your SINCERE support…sometimes it seems as if I really don’t know what the right thing to do is anymore. I hope I’m not the only one with this thought, but I CANNOT thank you enough for the prayers, ALL OF THE ABOVE, and ANY MORE TO COME…they mean so much to me at this time…

I will be praying myself for any of your concerns, whatever they might be, as well as for myself…God’s Peace be with you always!

Thomas Merton’s prayer for discernment

O Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going,
I do not see the road ahead of me,
I cannot know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself,
And that fact that I think
I am following Your will
Does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe
That the desire to please You
Does in fact please You.
And I hope I have that desire
In all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything
Apart from that desire to please You.
And I know that if I do this
You will lead me by the right road,
Though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust You always
Though I may seem to be lost
And in the shadow of death.
I will not fear,
For You are ever with me,
And You will never leave me
To make my journey alone.

Thank you for your prayers…you’re in mine as well, UpUpAway…
