Prayer for restoration

[Bdonoho]

I just wanted to ask for prayer, that God would help me to stop resisting, resenting and sinning against the Holy Spirit by consenting to blasphemous thoughts against Him, and that I would have the strength to follow the Holy Spirit and trust in His guidance again. For the past few days I have been trying to obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and last night it was really hard for me to do so, and I believe I gave into frustration and whenever it seemed He was telling me to do something that I didn’t want to do, I started becoming tempted to intentionally blaspheme Him.

Whenever this happens after a trial like last night, I’m tempted to just not listen for the Voice of the Spirit and give into my self-will, avoiding gross sin and trying to obey the Commandments but ultimately doing things in my own strength and wisdom. I know that’s not what God wants for me and I need to repent of my lack of trust. There’s a pattern to all of this and it is my hope that with the Sacraments and the graces of God, I can break out of this vicious pattern. In the meantime, I wanted to ask if you could pray that I would be able to discern what is happening and repent of any sin that I am guilty of. Thank you all very much.

 

[China123]

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and
snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, thrust into hell satan,
and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

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.

St. Patrick’s Prayer
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
