Prayer for an end to a project

[Bdonoho]

I posted this before, but I can’t find the thread. I have been writing and illustrating a children’s book for 6 years. My Mother has wanted me to finish it for years and I tried to make it as perfect is possible, which is what killed it. I wanted it to be my masterpiece, and the book became all about me, and displaying my abilities as an artist instead of serving others. I’ve been struggling with wanting God to bless it for all this time, and it seems like it has become like an idol that can’t be blessed the way I want it to be blessed. I’m going to go insane if I keep working on it, and I don’t know how to end it. I’ve worked on it for 6 years, and I just want it to end. My parents want me to finish it so badly, but I have not had any lasting peace about God wanting it for my life. I don’t know what to do, and I want to ask for your prayers.

Right now it seems that the only way it will be blessed is if I do it solely as a work to make money from, to support myself. Basically, it will be a secular work, not a spiritual one. I have tried to make it more, but I just can’t seem to maintain a healthy outlook on it, which is why God can’t bless it the way I want him to bless it. I need to submit to God, that God might help me to fulfill HIS dream for my life.

Lord bless Bdonoho, and bless this book.
You can bless others through our efforts whether perfect or not, and beyond our expectations though no real merit of our own.
Bless Bdonoho with peace of mind and trust that Your will bless the intentions for this book, You who alone can give the graces and can do so surprisingly and unexpectedly.
Help Bdonoho to 'let go and to trust You give blessings in the way that You will.

Best wishes with completing your book!

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 are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

I am praying that God Blesses you with the wisdom to figure out a way to end the book. I pray that whatever may come of the book, may it touch the lives of others with God’s Love.

Blessed art thou amongst women, and
Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you!

[Simca]

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to Thee, to be without pity for those who are suffering or in distress. Look down, we beseech Thee, on us, and grant us the grace which we humbly, and earnestly implore Thee, through the Immaculate Heart of Thy sorrowful Mother to whom Thou did confide us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with Thee.
Amen.

May God direct your every step.

Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
