My bed calls to me…


a-prayer-for-times-like-theseThis morning Lord, my heart is dull and seems only half alive. I come before you only by my will, not my desire. I am tired and weary after a night of tossing and turning. My muscles ache, I am weak, the bed is calling me back. Why is my soul so fickle and seemingly so subject to the weaknesses of my flesh? One day it is inflamed with passion for you. The next, it is lifeless – because of sleep? Still, I love you Jesus my love. Still, I desire to give all of myself to you. Still I ask that you give me strength to serve you – that you grant that I may love you always – and then do with me what you will.

Theophilus…

“Come, all you who are weary and heavy laden, I will give you rest.”

    I put my knees down to pray after days work and remember I have unfinished assignment, I dose quarter way my Rosary, I feel weary in Evening Mass, My Lord hold my arm when I am down and get me back to my feet. My Immaculate Mother whisper those sweet words "My son I am right besides you" as I struggle with life St. Joseph my Lord give me a Fatherly 'push' in my fatigue.

    An echo from what I sufffer most of the days. Dry days when even to pray is an effort, at the end of which I am not ever sure Jesus heard my prayers. But then, I re-assure myself. "Jesus, You know me and understand me through and through. What is not up to Your expectations, through Your inexhaustible mercy make it right so that the gift of a new day tomorrow will find me more enthusiastic to do Your will"

    I feel this way too...probably more often than I would like to admit. I want to love Jesus with all my heart and soul but struggle with laziness, pride and anxiety. I pray for the strength to get through another day and hope I am one day closer to resting with Jesus and Mary in heaven!

    I call out to Jesus, Mary and Joseph and I know in my soul they are with me. I know God loves me.

    I feel alone in my troubles, but I am not alone.

    I pray to St. Michael to battle with me against Satan's deception and lies.

    I am not alone.
