Deliver me, Jesus.
From the belief that I have to earn Your love
From the fear that I am unlovable
From the false security that I have what it takes
From the fear that trusting You will leave me more destitute
From all suspicion of Your words & promises
From the rebellion against childlike dependency on You
From refusals & reluctances in accepting Your will
From anxiety about the future
From resentment or excessive preoccupation with the past
From restless self-seeking in the present moment
From disbelief in Your love & presence
From the fear of being asked to give more than I have
From the belief that my life has no meaning or worth
From the fear of what love demands
From discouragement
Deliver me, Jesus.

Jesus, I trust in you.
That You are continually holding me, sustaining me, loving me
That Your love goes deeper than my sins & failings, & transforms me
That not knowing what tomorrow brings is an invitation to lean on You
That you are with me in my suffering
That my suffering, united to Your own, will bear fruit in this life & the next
That You will not leave me orphan, that You are present in Your Church
That Your plan is better than anything else
That You always hear me & in Your goodness always respond to me
That You give me the grace to accept forgiveness & to forgive others
That You give me all the strength I need for what is asked
That my life is a gift
That You will teach me to trust You
That You are my Lord and my God
That I am Your beloved one
Jesus, I trust in you.
