Please pray for me. I am so weak. I want to follow Christ, but I stray away from Him more times than I can count. If I could give Christ my free will so as to prevent myself from abusing it I would. Pray that Christ will intervene in my life in a powerful way and set me straight. I love Him and want to live my life for Him, but I betray Him constantly. All I can think of is Saint Paul when he said, “So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ my Lord!”
 
Praying for you. I know exactly how you are feeling right now.
 
Grant us Thy peace; for Thou alone canst bend our faltering purpose to a nobler end; Thy love alone can teach our hearts to see the fellowship that binds all lives in Thee.

Grant us Thy peace; for men have filled the years with greed and envy and with foolish fears, with squandered treasures and ignoble gain, and fruitless harvests that we reap in vain.

Grant us Thy peace; till all our strife shall seem the hateful memory of some evil dream; till that new song ring out that shall not cease, ‘In heaven thy glory and on earth thy peace’.

May the Lord grant you all the graces you need to persevere in faith, hope and love. May the Lord help you to carry your crosses patiently and lovingly. May you keep away from all occasions of sin, pray a lot, do plenty of spiritual reading and detest your sins. May the Lord sustain you in grace when tempted, and should you ever fall, may you have immediate recourse to the sacrament of confession for the healing and strength you need. May you not get discouraged but keep persevering with the help of the sacraments no matter how weak you may find yourself. If you keep persevering, one day you will find yourself stronger. With God all things are possible. May the Lord remind you of this. Amen.
