“JESUS HELP ME” – A Prayer in Times of Trouble

“JESUS HELP ME” – A Prayer in Times of Trouble

Jesus, help me. In every need let me come to you with a 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 failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles and sorrows: Jesus, help me.
When others fail me and your grace alone can assist me: Jesus, help me.
When I throw myself on your tender love, as my Father and Savior: Jesus, help me.
When my heart is cast down by failure at seeing no good coming from my efforts: Jesus, help me.
When I feel impatient and my cross irritates me: Jesus, help me.
When I am ill and my head and hands cannot work and I am lonely: Jesus, help me.
Always, always, in spite of weariness, falls and shortcomings of every kind: Jesus, help me and never forsake me.
Almighty Lord, before you I come with all my faith, begging you for comfort in my difficulties. Do not forsake me, my Lord. Open your doors,
that your almighty arms will open and close as you design to give that tranquility that I so desire.
Oh my God! Receive my supplication from a wounded heart that is always fighting for me with your Divine power. Never let me scramble for want of help. Almighty Lord, assist me to find shelter in your celestial bounty forever.
Amen.

The Catechism in a Year – Day 352 – Summar of The Battle of Prayer

Fr. Mike reviews this section of the Catechism, summarizing the battle of prayer and the prayer of the hour of Jesus. We are reminded that prayer is active, and we must engage in grace. The Catechism goes on to state that, “We pray as we live because we live as we pray.” In this, we see that God meets us where we are and wants us to pray always. Finally, Jesus’ prayer to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane exemplifies humility, filial trust, honesty, and perseverance; modeling how we are to pray to the Father. Today’s readings are paragraphs 2752-2758.

The Catechism in a Year – Day 349 – Temptation, Trust, and Prayer

What motivates our prayer? Do we see God as our “divine genie,” or do we look to him as our Father? We learn that the most common temptation in prayer is a lack of faith. Another major temptation is acedia or sloth. In the face of these temptations of presumption and discouragement, we must respond with filial trust in God our Father, the giver of all good gifts. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2732-2737.
