Guide me, O Lord, in an everlasting way, and support me, because your kindness is marvelous. How great you are, a companion, a guarantor, and a faithful guarantor of the safety of the march of your children and your elect for life.

Do not hide your face, but be a guarantor for everything that happens to me in the alienation of this world until I realize the land that you promised your lovers.

Yes, O Lord, when you have meditated on temptation, you can help the tempted. Yes, Lord, your strength is perfected in weakness, and your grace suffices us and enriches us. I wish you would console me with the coming glory and encourage me with it amid the sufferings of this present time.

Not as the glory to come I wait for, but as being in me now and in the present time, and know me, O Lord, that this glory is prepared and stored up and awaits me.

May Your Will Be, Lord

I know that my request has reached you because this is the confidence we have in you. Let your will be done, O Lord, and not mine, because I do not know what I pray for, as I should. Help me to accept your will, my God, to do it and be pleased with it, and leave everything that contradicts my salvation. Because I know that my requests that you reject by your divine providence are because you see what is good for me, but not as I want, but as you want.

May your will be, O Lord, for if it is fitting for you to suffer, and you are the head and complement of salvation, how much I should not choose for myself. Let your Holy Spirit lead me, so that sorrows do not approach me, but do all things for my good and my salvation.

O Lord, transform my punishment into salvation. You turn my bitterness into sweetness. You transform it with greatness, just as you transformed the furnace of young men so that it into a place of increasing wonder.

You’re with Me and My Supporters

I am certain, Lord, that the outcome of my distress is within your divine intention and is within the deposit in which you guarantee your good share and favor in eternal life and the balance of wreaths.

You are my helper, my supporter, my refuge, and a warrior with me. I will not be alarmed, I will not be stubborn, and I will not turn back. After a very short time, you will come, you who will come, and do not slow down, and a little will bury me and meet you, the head of faith and its completion.

Moisten me, O Lord, with the oil of your grace, and train me to participate in your holiness, and to see the joy that is prepared. And to see the building of the house not made with the hands, and the eternal when I take off my tent. For you, my master, you are the one who begins and ends everything concerning my salvation. Prayer for God’s Help.

Save Me

You also preserved the soul of your servant, Job. In Your hand, O Lord, is my command, and I wish I could offer myself to You as You gave me Yourself. Do not troubles touch my heart, nor my soul, nor my conscience, as the fire of the young furnace did not touch, nor did the lions devour the trust of your servant Daniel.

You are good, O Lord, for you are my fortress in the day of trouble. You know, O Lord, that I am one of those who trust in You, so save my soul with Your generous blood from the rounds of the enemy accusing me of. Deliver me from hours of trial and direct my steps in Your way, that my feet may not slip, and set my feet upon the rock, and arrange my steps, O righteous and invisible ruler.

Turning My Will Toward Wanting Your Satisfaction

That bewildered and confused will, so that I do not fall, support me, O Lord, so that I do not perish, and delight myself with your consolations so that I do not dwell in Hell.

Make my way easy before your face and guide me and open my eyes to see your wonders and your sweet judgments which are for my good, and teach me to work for goodwill. For you are the worker for me.

O Savior of the soul of the beloved, and O God, support this that you have done for me, showing your mercy and salvation. You who raise up the fallen, lose bounds, rule the blind, care for the stranger, rescue the afflicted, comfort the afflicted, and deliver those in adversity.

Turning to the Lord for Help and Guidance

The Lord is often called upon for guidance and strength. These words, That bewildered and confused will, so that I do not fall, support me, O Lord, so that I do not perish, and delight myself with your consolations so that I do not dwell in Hell. They are an example of the desperate plea for help and hope that many people make to their Creator.

The Lord is asked to make one’s way easy before Him, to guide and open one’s eyes, to see His wonders and judgments, and to teach one to work for goodwill.

The Lord is also asked to be the Savior of the beloved, to show mercy and salvation. He is also asked to raise up the fallen, loose bounds, rule the blind, care for the stranger, rescue the afflicted, comfort the afflicted, and deliver those in adversity. In these words, one acknowledges the Lord’s power and grace and expresses a deep desire to turn to Him for help and guidance.

The words of this prayer are a reminder that the Lord is always willing to help those who seek Him. He is the source of our strength and hope, and it is only through Him that we can find true peace and joy. No matter what we may be facing, the Lord will always be there to provide aid and comfort.
