I am about to head into what will likely be one of the most monumental battles of my life. To accomplish my goal, and what I believe is God’s Will, I will need all of the self-control God sees fit to grant me and the will to use it. I already face temptation, and can feel myself weakening. Please pray that I will be granted all the self-control and grace I need to win this struggle, as well as the will to stick to my goal.

Father,
You know the mountain I face, what it will take to make it move, and what it means to me. Please help me to keep the faith, stay the course, and achieve Your Purpose. Help me to use the control You will grant, and rest in Your timing. Each day, let me rise with this purpose in my heart, and each night let me rest with this prayer on my lips. Let me be the handmaid of the Lord, forget my self, and work tirelessly for Your Will.
Amen

Nearllly every hurt possible is portrayed in the stations of the cross. If we h ave been hurt, we will be sensiive to Pilate washing his hands when guilty and can heal that hurt by taking on Jesus pain and reaction. Likewise there is probaby a need for healing the stations as we want to pass quickly.

ASK YOURSELF THERSE THREE QUESTIONS:
  1. How is CHrist feeling hurt?
  2. When did I feel the same way?
  3. Can I forgive whoever made me suffer just as Christ forgives, and can I have the same reactions that Christ did?
Read Luke 22:39-46

Ask Christ to help you create in your imagination the scene of what you most fear or want to be able to face in the future.

Live out Christ’s reaction by taking one step to face this fear, Thank Christ for WATEVER
has happened during your praying and rest in his strength.

God bless you. Don’t lose your faith!
 
Heavenly Father,

We pray that you will help us rein in my passions, desires and emotions and make them subject to your Spirit. Please give us the self-discipline we need.

Amen.
 
May the Lord grant you the special graces you need to win this battle you are facing. May you focus all your attention on the Lord (on loving him and pleasing him), more than on self-willing something away. May you understand that when loving God is your focus the other things in life that we battle against lose their force and a great deal of their ability to dominate over us. May you stay focused on your goal: God. Amen.
