Powerful Prayer to Jesus in Difficult Times
When Evil Crushes Me
Lord Jesus, how can I pray when evil overwhelms me and I’m at my limit...
You who knew the depths of suffering,
You who walked this path, be with me today.
You who endured to the end, help me stand firm.
You who are alive, pray in me through Your Holy Spirit.
As I endure this trial, breathe Your Resurrection’s power into my soul.
—Pierre Lyonnet, S.J.
Prayer of Protection
“Lord God, Loving Father, Jesus my Shepherd, Holy Spirit of Light; I now decide, in my soul and conscience, to authorize You, Lord Jesus Christ, to manifest Your Goodness and Love throughout my life and all that surrounds me. I give You full authority over my entire existence. I refuse this authority to any other power or entity—including myself. You alone, Lord God, may manifest Your will in my life. You hold the contract for my life’s management. I thank You in advance for all You will do, for everything that happens—even the strangest or most painful—knowing they bring light essential for my spiritual growth in You. All is now under Your loving, miraculous power, granted to You alone. Thank You for caring for me, even when unseen, for I am Your beloved child, and You are my Father of love! Amen, amen, amen! God is Love, love, love!”
