Prayer for Youth to beg tbe Divine Direction in the Choice of a State of Life
O Almighty God! Whose wise and amiable providens watches over every human event, deign to be my light and my counsel in all my undertakings, particularly In the choice of a state of lle.
I know that on this important step my sanctifcation and salvation may in a great measure depend.
I know that I am incapable of discerning what may be best for me: therefore I cast myself into Thy arms, beseeching Thee, my God, Who hast sent me into this world only to love and serve Thee, to direct by Thy grace every moment and action of my life to the glorious end of my creation.
I renounce most sincerely every
other wish, than to fulfil Thy designs on my soul, whaterer they may be; and I beseech Thee to give me the grace, by Imbibing the true spirit of a Christian, to quality myself for any state of life to which Thy adorable providence may call me.
O my Godl whenever it may become my duty do Thou be my light and my counsel, and mercifully deign to make the way known to me wherein I should walk, for I have lifted up my soul to Thee.
Preserve me from listening to the suggestions of my own self-love, or worldly pradence, in prejudice to Thy holy inspirations.
Let Thy good Spirit lead me into the right way, and let Thy adorable providence place me, not where I may naturally feel inclined to go, but where all things may be most conducive to Thy glory and to the good of my soul.
Mary, Mother of Good Counsel, Seat of Wisdom, Help of Christians, pray for me. #frlasance #jffbirthdays
