Dear Lord! In the middle of the night I seek You in my despair. Where are You, my God? Your Son came to share the Good News, and we celebrate His arrival soon. What joy! But, why does my heart ache so deeply? I so miss my adult children, but know that You know my prayers and love for them, as you have taught us Your transcendent love. But, Lord, I am awake in the dark, while You seem asleep within me. I feel the storm of my “whys” and “what nexts” as thes thoughts whirl and toss in my mind and no rest can be had! Please Lord, awaken in this would-be sleeper, calm the storms in my heart and mind. May the loving embrace of Our Father fill me with the knowledge of hope, faith in Your goodwill to all, and desire to love as You love. Dear Jesus, I love you. Amen.
 
Praying you can calm the thoughts in your mind and get a good night’s sleep.
 
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Today’s “Divine Mercy Message” from the Diary of St. Faustina seems fitting here. Jesus said this to St. Faustina:

Know, too, that the darkness about which you complain I first endured in the Garden of Olives when My Soul was crushed in mortal anguish. I am giving you a share in those sufferings because of My special love for you and in view of the high degree of holiness I am intending for you in heaven. A suffering soul is closest to My Heart (Diary, 1487).


A different section from the Diary is posted on this website every day.

I don’t know if you pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet when you are dealing with troublesome thoughts during the night, but it helps me to calm my mind and go back to sleep.

God bless you.

Jesus, Help Me Prayer

In every need let me come to You with humble trust, saying:
Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness, and trials:
Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles, and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Your grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Your tender Love
as a Father and Savior:
Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!

When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot
work and I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls,
and shortcomings of every kind:
Jesus, help me and never forsake me. – Amen
 
Thank you. I will seek the Chaplet out.
