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!
