Litany of Trust
(by the Sisters of Life)
(After each petition, respond “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 and promises.
From the rebellion against childlike dependency on You.
From refusals and reluctances to accept 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 and 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.
(After each petition, respond “I trust in you.”)
That You are continually holding me, sustaining me, loving me.
That Your love goes deeper than my sins and failings, and 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 and 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 and in Your goodness always respond to me.
That You give me the grace to accept forgiveness and 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 in You.
That You are my Lord and my God.
That I am Your beloved one.
