CHALLENGES

Jesus, my strength, please be with me
as I face every challenge, difficulty,
disappointment and fear which comes to me.

Give me courage when I am afraid.
Give me endurance when I am in pain.
Give me confidence when I am unsure.
Give me certainty when I am in doubt.
Give me strength when things go wrong.
Give me companionship when I am lonely.
Give me light when I am in spiritual darkness.

Send me hope if I am depressed.
Send me clarity if I am confused.
Send me comfort if I am distressed.

Please turn my gaze to heaven
when I am too immersed in earthly things.

Please keep Your cross of salvation
always in my consciousness.

Let me not fall into worldly temptation
But rather keep eternity as my goal.

Thank you for my loving family.
Thank you for my loyal friends.
Thank you for all the beauty of the world.

Keep me true.
Keep me close.
Keep me loyal.
Keep me valiant.

Bring me finally into your Divine Presence,
my dear Lord and Redeemer.

Amen.
