Dear Lord,
Sorry once again that I’ve been emotionally paralyzed. I don’t want to live a life of perpetual trauma, burn out, hypersensitivity… I turn to You for healing, because this is only within Your power and reach.
More and more, I just need to hide away in You. You are my sole comfort and refuge. It hurts when You are ignored, when You are replaced by false idols. I understand this can be a defense mechanism to distract ourselves from our pain, but at times it feels like worldly insanity and a willing rejection of You.
As we enter into this month dedicated to Your Sacred Heart, I want to ask how to make reparation for Your wounds? First, for the wounds that I and my family have caused. And if there are persistent thorns, how can I take them out?
I’m sorry for my lack of trust as well. If I truly believed, I wouldn’t need to turn to anything else. I wouldn’t have this anxious distress and lack of confidence in Your saving hand. You are the perfect Father, the Good Shepherd Who lays His life down for His sheep, the Spirit Who instructs and purifies our hearts. You are Alpha and Omega. We mustn’t be afraid. And any time I get lost, please redirect me in the path of Your Most Holy Will. Amen.
