With this, I ask for your continued presence and guidance so I can make the right decisions and make the most of my life happily.

]]> 2025-01-29 13:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/x9n9l9ps960j1751/wish/3308410544 Prayer for Positivity https://padlet.com/campusministryls/x9n9l9ps960j1751/wish/3311091154 Dearest Lord, I entrust to You the the challenges that I am currently facing. Give me strength to say NO to the feelings of envy and inadequacy whenever I compare myself to others. Give me courage to face my fear in facing the uncertain path to my future. Give me patience so that I would allow myself to grow in the midst of suffering. All this I ask to be done according to Your will. Amen.

]]> 2025-01-31 12:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/x9n9l9ps960j1751/wish/3311091154 Prayer for motivation to push through life and in times when I feel lost https://padlet.com/campusministryls/x9n9l9ps960j1751/wish/3311114534 Lord, there are times in my life when I feel helpless and on the brink of giving up. I feel unmotivated to do anything, especially with academics, and I feel that what I am doing is meaningless or has no purpose. I do not know if my choices are leading to the right path. I feel lost sometimes.

But Lord, I know that You see me even when I feel unseen. You know the burdens I carry, the doubts in my heart, and the exhaustion in my soul.


So, I ask you to remind me that I am not alone, that You walk with me even in the darkness. Grant me the strength to persevere when I feel weak, the wisdom to discern the next steps, and the peace to trust in Your plan even when I cannot see it.


Help me to find meaning even in the small things and to see the purpose in the work I do, even when it feels mundane. Fill my heart with renewed motivation, not just for my own success, but so I may serve others and glorify You through my efforts. When I am weary, let me find rest in You. When I am uncertain, be my guiding light. Thank you for your love and grace Lord, Amen.

It has been quite a difficult time in the recent months. I hope to find the strength to forgive myself for my past transgressions. I carry these crosses every day, and in recognizing such I now surrender them up to you. Please guide me as I continue to learn to be a better person each day, and that I may find the solace so deprived one day.

Please guide me in all of my life's encounters while I promise to exert my honest effort in ways I know how. Let not My will but Yours be done.

I ask you now to give me strength and resilience in doing the hard things that I need to do to actually be better. I ask that you help me be patient and understanding with myself, especially when it seems like nothing I do seems to be going right. I want to have hope for the better things that are to come, but I feel afraid to hope and to be disappointed. But, lastly, I ask that you give me reassurance to help me understand that I actually am and always will be enough, and that I can do the hard tasks.


All of these things I ask in Your name, Amen.

I come unto you Lord, that I pray that I'll be able to be motivated in order to push myself forward. We give you thanks for the blessings you have given to us, each and every day of our lives. We pray that we will make it through, and maybe one day, I will thank you that I was able to do it with your faith and good hands. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.🙏

]]> 2025-02-21 10:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/x9n9l9ps960j1751/wish/3337541310 Prayer for Strength and Courage https://padlet.com/campusministryls/x9n9l9ps960j1751/wish/3340751796 I see my journey as both a personal and communal mission—a call to transform challenges into opportunities for genuine service. Right now, I carry the weight of witnessing health inequities that affect so many in our society. It’s a heavy cross—the constant reminder of the gaps in access, the suffering in our communities, and the burden of responsibility I feel as I prepare for a future in public health. I also wrestle with the internal pressures of academic excellence, self-doubt, and the fear of not living up to my calling.

I entrust these crosses to the Lord, asking Him to grant me the grace of resilience and wisdom. I need the courage to face these challenges head-on, the clarity to navigate the complexities of public health issues, and the humility to learn from every experience. Most of all, I ask for a deepening trust in God’s plan, so that every struggle becomes a stepping stone towards making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. In surrendering these burdens, I hope to transform them into a force for healing and hope—not just for me, but for the communities I will one day serve.

In times of weakness, I feel alone and unloved. May You give me the grace to show me the path forward. Give me guidance in times I feel lost. Give me the strength to push forward even if I am afraid to do an action that is authentic to myself. All this I ask to be done according to your will. Amen.

You are my hope, the one who never fails me. Now, I take a leap toward You and see You there, waiting with open arms, calling me Your child.

In moments of doubt, fill me with faith. In moments of weakness, strengthen me. And in all things, teach me to trust in Your divine plan.

Amen.

There are so many things I want to do/achieve, but I cannot do it alone. Other times, I find myself asking if I'm really on the right path, doing the right things--- things you want me to do and be. I have defied my parents' expectations of me pursuing medicine and/or law to pursue history because it has always been my dream to become a historian and teacher of history. I need to know if this is what you want me to be. I need to know if it is you who planted this dream in my heart. And if it is, Lord, give me the courage and strength to keep going; to trust in your plans for me--because it can get lonely and scary being misunderstood. Guide me, Lord, as I wish to continue pursuing my passions in history, excellently and wholeheartedly, just as I am now. If this is what you have willed for me, Lord, please allow my parents to see and understand my efforts. I want to make them proud. I want to honor them through my own gifts-- gifts I am sure you have blessed me with. Amen.

I question myself at every trial, every setback, and everyday I feel my foundation slipping, and my belief in myself falter. I ask of you, o Heavenly Father, to share with me the strength to carry my crosses of hopelessness and anxiety with renewed sbelief and hope. Give me the calm and optimism needed to handle my setbacks and issues with calm instead of anxiety. Give me resilience, so that I may grow from this hardship, and find my truest calling. All this, I ask to be done according to your will. Amen.

Simple things like waking up, eating, and attending to basic human necessities seem to grow harder as the days pass by. I have trust in my capabilities to perform what is needed of me, personally and work related, but recently I have been clouded by doubt and uncertainty because of how worn out I have become. I hope to grow out of this feeling soon and learn to move away this kind of mindset. I aspire to have the strength to overcome these negative thoughts and feelings so I can fulfill my roles and responsibilities in life.

I know that you love me so personally, and that you see me in all my struggles. And yet, knowing how good You are to me, I still struggle to dedicate time for you. Sometimes 10 minutes is too much in my busy life. But I acknowledge that I need You. I need you in my life because without You I am imperfect!


You are not far away. You are near. I'm just too busy to hear Your voice. I pray that You can make Yourself known powerfully in my life. I pray that You can continue to chase after me even if I turn my back to You often. I pray that I can open up my heart more, and my schedule more, to make room for the one thing that matters most.

Now that I am older, I have realized that life is more than just myself and my family, although I do find these two to be on the top of my priority list, I now ask that you also watch over the friends I have made throughout the years that have shaped me into the person I am now, including my teachers, mentors, and even the strangers I have interacted with in the most simplest ways. I ask that you continue to watch over the homes that shelter us, may they stay in tact in times of turbulence and drought, and that it remain as strong as the foundation of my family. I ask that you continue to watch over the greens and nature and all the beings within that surround me, that provide us life, that teach us that kindness can give back tenfolds. I ask that you continue to watch over me as I pursue hobbies and events that will mold me into the person that I will be in the future, and continue to watch over me whichever career I end up in. I ask this, through Christ, our Lord, Amen.
