How to Pray The Litany of Trust
Litany of Trust
While scrolling through Instagram I came up on a quote that said, "From the Fear that I am unlovable. Deliver me". This has been something that I have been working on for years in every aspect of life. When I was younger I sought validation from others. Now that I'm older and have more life experience I know that even if no one in this world loves me it doesn't matter because my life here isn't about me, its about Jesus. Even though my human flesh still seeks validation my heart is faced towards Jesus. I ask him everyday, "Please help me, Please be with me." I don't have a Fix all for you when it comes to trusting in Jesus. I do have this prayer that a Sister of life wrote, It's called the "Litany of trust". I recommend that you write it on your mirror. Or write little pieces of it around your house to remind you that you can trust in him and he will never leave you to face this world alone.
