A PRAYER FOR PLACING FAITH ON CHRIST ALONE

             Loving Lord, I thank and praise You for this time of prayer. O Lord, You have been sufficient for me till now. Still, You continue to be so. For that I thank You. I thank You for Your hand of mercy upholding me. You have been protecting and providing for me all these days. I praise with an overflowing heart of gratitude. Even though I have committed to live in close proximity to the Lord, I still have certain faults within me. As I feel an irritation in my right fingers, I have fears in my heart that I might incur wasteful expenditure. I want to overcome this feeling and to place my trust in the Lord alone. Anyhow I entertain certain sorrows and fear of vain thoughts that do not allow me to concentrate on real things that I do. O Lord, help me to preserve my peace. Like this, many other things like vastu, the influence of certain stars and astrological considerations, and the portents of days paralyse me. Without myself knowing it, I keep spouting out unwanted words. O Lord, have mercy on me. Help me to live trusting only You. Remove all thoughts that intimidate me. You alone can do that. You have the power to change my thoughts. Have mercy on me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I make this prayer, O good Father. Amen.
