Hi guys,

My spiritual life isn’t going well right now. I am surrounded by negative influences wherever I go. It seems like no matter what I do I can never resist the temptation of committing sin, whatever sin that may be. I’m young, stupid, and am easily deceived by the devil, I feel him trying to pull me apart from God. Please pray that my faith can be stronger than ever and that I will have the power to resist temptation.

Thank you
 
There is always one positive influence…look up and within!

Lord Jesus, lead all souls to heaven
especially those most in need of thy mercy.

Our Father…Hail Mary x10
Glory Be…Fatima Prayer…Amen!
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom to overcome your temptations.
 
Hi dallas_r,

Prayers said for your intentions.

May God bless you during your time of need. 🙂
 
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in 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, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits that roam around the world seeking the ruin of souls, Amen :signofcross:

A Prayer Against Temptation

Behold me, O my God, at Your feet! I do not
deserve mercy, but O my Redeemer, the blood
with You have shed for me encourages me and
obliges me to hope for it.

How often I have offended You, repented, and
yet have I again fallen into the same sin. O my
God, I wish to amend, and in order to be faithful
to You, I will place all my confidence in You.

I will, whenever I am tempted, instantly have
recourse to You. Until now, I have trusted in
my own promises and resolutions and have
neglected to recommend myself to You
in my temptations.

This has been the cause of my repeated
failures. From this day forward, be You,
O Lord, my strength, and this shall I be able
to do all things, for “I can do all things in Him
who strengthens me.”

– Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

:signofcross:

 
You’ve come to the right place. I add my prayer to others here for your strengthening faith, that the profound love of Jesus enlarge itself within your heart and soul and that you find others who wish to join you in returning and enacting that love in their lives.
 
Sometimes we worry to much about our own faults ,
Concentrate more on doing good works , and the rest will sort itself out
 
The secret of “walking by Faith” is to Love the
Shepherd of our souls(1 Pet.2:25), and to
train your ears to hear His voice(Jn. 10:3;
10:14-15; 10:27) To RECOGNIZE that our
greatest enemy is SELF, the Flesh, it must
be put down in order that we may Live in
the Spirit, and so fulfill the righteous re-
quirement of the Law(Rom. 8:3-5).

The Angelus Prayer

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is
w/ you, blessed are you among women,
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.

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to Your Word.

Hail Mary, etc…

V. And the Word was made flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary, etc…

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:

Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord,
Your Grace into our hearts;
that as we have known the incarnation of Christ,
your Son by the message of an angel,
so by His passion and cross
we may be brought to the glory of His Resurrection.
Through the same Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
 
Lord Jesus, lead all souls to heaven
especially those most in need of thy mercy.

Our Father…Hail Mary x10
Glory Be…Fatima Prayer…Amen!
 
I could be wrong, but I believe that practicing the cardinal virtues grants infused graces, of which fortitude is one. Simply put: do good (and confess it when you fail) to gain the ability to do better…if I’m remembering correctly. I guess the analogy would be starting a workout routine. Pretty soon, it becomes easy to put up x pounds.

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.
 
Lord Jesus, lead all souls to heaven

Prayer to Pope St. Sixtus II

Dear Pope St. Sixtus II, not much is known of your early life, but as pope, you were responsible for the harmony between the eastern and western churches. In your short tenure of the papacy, you were an amazing example of peace, loyalty, and courage. You were martyred for your faith, and thus were the foundation that our modern Church was built on. Please pray for us who are still in this exile, the we may always keep forefront in our minds our ultimate destination and our ultimate Love. I also ask you to keep in your heart always the intentions I place before you today- for Dallas r in times of temptations… Please bring these petitions to the throne of God and humbly present them to Him on our behalf. Thank you, St. Sixtus. Amen.
 
Saint 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 you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for 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.



For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (dallas_r), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. 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

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen.



Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Amen.



Jesus, Help Me

In every need let me come to Thee 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 my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts,
Jesus, help me!

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

When I throw myself on Thy tender love as Father and Savior,
Jesus, help me!

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

When sickness and loneliness overcome me,
Jesus, help me!

Always, in weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind,
Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen.



Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.
Sweet Heart of my Jesus, grant that I may always love You more.
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of You.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like Your Heart.

Amen.



Prayers said. All will be well. Do not fear, the Lord is protecting you.
Do not be lonely, your guardian angel is beside you.
Be comforted, Mother will watch over you, and the
Holy Spirit will guide you.

Amen.



Prayer Against Depression
………….By St Ignatius of Loyola


O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.

Amen.



Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Santa Teresa de Jesús
(Santa Teresa de Ávila)

Amen.


**
My Jesus,
I believe that You are
present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and
I desire to receive You into my soul.
**Since I cannot at this moment receive
You sacramentally, come at least spiritually
into my heart. I embrace You
as if You were already there and
unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated
from You.

Amen.



Piarist fathers have taught this short act of
Spiritual Communion, popularized by St. Josemaria Escriva:

I wish, Lord, to receive You with the purity, humility and
devotion with which Your most holy Mother received You, with the
spirit and fervour of the saints.

Amen.


**
Thank You dear Lord Jesus, always and
everywhere, for everything.

Amen.

† **

Jesus, I trust in You.

Amen.

❤️
