A Prayer for Protection
My Dearest Saint Christopher,
Please, hear my prayer -
Saint Christopher protect us,
As we embark on a new journey today.
Let Your Love for us be our shield
From harsh, abrasive words
And actions against us,
And Your Arms be our shelter
In all that we do from day to day.
Help us find the help we need, if any,
And to know where and how to look.
Give us a sense of security
That we can count on,
And know that we'll always be safe.
Watch over us while we sleep,
And bless us with pleasant dreams.
Reassure us
That Your Arms are still embracing us
Through the night,
And that You will let no harm come to us.
AMEN
My Writing Prayer
My Dearest Saint John the Apostle,
Please hear my prayer -
I'm working on a project that requires
perfection, beauty, and uniqueness.
As I sit here,
I ask for the guidance,
Your Guidance,
That I so desperately need right now.
Please,
Guide my mind in finding the right words,
Lead my heart to the emotion and sincerity
that dwells within,
And my hands to create a beautiful piece of
work.
Deep inside,
There is a piece so breathtaking,
That it can't wait to be put on paper.
Please,
Make me a part of what I write,
And help me to find the research I
need,
If any, to complete my work.
Help me to make MY work my own,
The kind that leaves readers wanting MORE
The kind that touches the deepest depths of
their souls.
But most inportantly ... help me to AVOID
plagiarism at ALL costs.
AMEN
A Prayer for Beginning Drivers
My Dearest Heavenly FATHER,
Please, hear my humble prayer -
I ask YOU, my LORD,
To place Your Loving, Guiding, and
Protective Hands on all the new drivers
Who are just starting out on our busy
And often dangerous roads.
Let the Holy Spirit sit beside them and Comfort them and give them peace of mind so that the experience won't be a
traumatic one.
Let YOUR Love for them be a serene and tranquil joy. Do not let them be frightened should another car come close
And the other drivers actions cause them
any fear.
Let them know that they can be better
than the wild drivers that unthinkingly
act in a wrongful way while they are moving and come too often, too close to the new drivers.
Let their experience be a comforting
accomplishment. Thank YOU FATHER for hearing my prayer and helping all of us who need YOUR Love in our times of need.
In the Name of my Sweet and Wonderful LORD JESUS, I ask this.
AMEN
A Prayer for College Students
My Dearest Saint Catherine of Alexandria,
Please, hear my prayer -
Once again, it is time for school,
And I need Your Help.
Lend me Your Guiding Hand
And Help me each day
To always stay focused
And do my best in all my courses.
Hold me with a Loving Embrace
And Comfort me when I need it most.
Give me The Strength
And The Heart
To be emotionally stable,
When I feel ready to break down and cry.
Give me The Courage
To speak when needed,
And The Willpower
To try even harder
When I want to give up.
In the Name of my Sweet JESUS, I ask this.
AMEN
A Prayer for Mothers
Here's a little comfort and support for you ladies who've had a still-born child.
My Dearest Heavenly FATHER,
Please, hear my prayer -
FATHER, I had so many hopes & dreams
In store for my baby,
But when (gender) was born,
(Gender) was still-born.
Though only an infant & so new to the
world, (gender) has shown and taught me
so much. (Gender) has shown me such
Great joy, taught me to love from the
Inside out, and made me realize just
How fragile and precious life really is.
I will always hold dear to me the teachings
This gift of love had shared with me.
FATHER, where did I go wrong?
Please FATHER,
Help me, and my family,
To bear the loss of this child
And cradle us in YOUR Loving Arms.
We were really looking forward to having
This baby around to love and cherish with
All our hearts.
Comfort us when we need it most.
In the Name of my Sweet JESUS, I ask this.
AMEN
