3 Prayers For When You are Completely Losing It

3 Prayers For When You are Completely Losing It

Everyone in our household is on top of one another. We are starting to lose patience with the weaknesses of our loved ones. We find ourselves getting irritated by the most insignificant actions of others.

Yet Jesus calls us to forgive – seventy times seven times.

Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.

And somethings that are hurting us are not little. Some people hurt us in big ways too.

I am sure Jesus could have looked at the man nailing Him to the cross and thought, “he knows perfectly well what he is doing!”  We don’t know why people hurt us, but boy, they do sometimes, don’t they?  This prayer is often not easy to say, but Our Lord showed us the way.

Even if we are currently “social distancing”; our actions and words each day can impact others.

Perhaps at least once a day it might help to simply take an breath and pray:

Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace.

Sure, there is a longer version of this prayer, but this statement itself is quite a powerful petition.  There are many times when we can feel ourselves reacting in the heat of the moment . . . that is the perfect time to stop and pray this prayer.

The Sign of the Cross

I have read that when the sign of the cross is made and prayed reverently, demons flee.

Saint Cyril of Jerusalem asserted that because the sign of the Cross is the mark of our redemption, Satan hates it. Demons flee from the sign of the cross when it is devoutly made.

Perhaps it’s a good idea to make the sign of the cross reverently through out the day. When you see a crucifix or image of Jesus, when you hear a siren, or when you feel anxious or stressed – stop and pray the sign of the cross.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

    I love these! Quick and easy. Also, we have a cross in our living room. A helpful reminder. I I’m going to try these throughout the day.

      Thank you so much! Yes, the cross helps too! We have a crucifix and I recently saw a fellow blogger suggest taking a mini-retreat standing in front of it when things get crazy during the day!

When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger with self-confidence… and then I became very aware of how angry people had hurt me, but sad people were not hurtful.
At one point I remember thinking… “who do you want to be? A person that is hurtful… or someone else? if you can choose sadness instead of anger, do it. You don’t want to hurt people.”
I don’t know if Saint John Paul II really said this quote… but I do believe it’s solid advice when people we interact with do upsetting things. 

Choose sadness over anger… and pray for the people and about the situations that are upsetting you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

“What does God want me to do??!!!@ Ever ask this “What does God want me to do??!!!@

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.
