Prayer & Reflection
Prayer for Stress and Anxiety
Dear Lord,
you know the difficult things I am dealing with.
You know how my mind won’t let me stop
thinking about everything. I feel stressed and so
unsettled. I’m worried about what is going to happen.
Please take my burdens and the “what if’s” from me.
Help me to focus my thoughts on you and not worry about what could
happen.
Please help me to take one day at a time.
Please lead and guide me and take control of this situation.
Please give me your wisdom and fill me with your peace.
In the name of Jesus I ask these things.
Amen.
PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH Behold the faithful and wise servant whom the Master has placed over this household. The Lord has shown Him His love and covered him with glory. He has clothed him with a splendid garment. Let us pray. Almighty God, at the beginning of our salvation when Mary conceived Your Son and brought him forth into the world, You placed Him under Joseph’s watchful care. May his prayers still help Your Church to be an equally faithful guardian of your mysteries and a sign of Christ to mankind. We make our prayers through Christ, Our Lord, Amen
28/11/19: Thanksgiving Prayer
On this day, may I put aside Cares that weigh on heart or mind, Allowing room for happiness And gratitude, for I am blessed. In the traditions handed down, May insightfulness be found, Recalling now the desire for peace Shared together at harvest feast. For loved ones here and gone before, I pray and yet one thing more: Lord, who showed us how to live, Much thankfulness to You I give. Amen.
