As a Catholic, I know that God is always there for me. I know that God will never leave me alone. I know that God loves me, but sometimes I have a hard time trusting in him.
The Litany of Trust is a wonderful prayer to say alone or with friends. It can help us focus on the hesitations, doubts, and fears that we have that hold us back from putting our complete trust in God.
From the belief that I have to earn Your love Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear that I am unlovable Deliver me, Jesus. From the false security that I have what it takes Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear that trusting You will leave me more destitute Deliver me, Jesus. From all suspicion of Your words and promises Deliver me, Jesus. From the rebellion against childlike dependency on You Deliver me, Jesus. From refusals and reluctances in accepting Your will Deliver me, Jesus. From anxiety about the future Deliver me, Jesus. From resentment or excessive preoccupation with the past Deliver me, Jesus. From restless self-seeking in the present moment Deliver me, Jesus. From disbelief in Your love and presence Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear of being asked to give more than I have Deliver me, Jesus. From the belief that my life has no meaning or worth Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear of what love demands Deliver me, Jesus. From discouragement Deliver me, Jesus.
That You are continually holding me sustaining me, loving me Jesus, I trust in you.
That Your love goes deeper than my sins and failings, and transforms me Jesus, I trust in you. That not knowing what tomorrow brings is an invitation to lean on You Jesus, I trust in you. That you are with me in my suffering Jesus, I trust in you. That my suffering, united to Your own, will bear fruit in this life and the next Jesus, I trust in you. That You will not leave me orphan, that You are present in Your Church Jesus, I trust in you. That Your plan is better than anything else Jesus, I trust in you. That You always hear me and in Your goodness always respond to me Jesus, I trust in you. That You give me the grace to accept forgiveness and to forgive others Jesus, I trust in you. That You give me all the strength I need for what is asked Jesus, I trust in you. That my life is a gift Jesus, I trust in you. That You will teach me to trust You Jesus, I trust in you.
