Save me, Lord

From the critical spirit, which sees only wrong things in everything, save me, Lord.

From pessimism, which thinks that no one wants to know the Good News of Christ, save me, Lord.

From spiritual laziness, which lacks the strength to resist the devil, save me, Lord.

From the distracted eye, which cannot focus on his word and meditate on it, save me, Lord.

From weakness of heart, whose prayer lasts no more than two minutes, save me, Lord.

From selfishness, which interprets the attitudes and words of others only in personal terms, save me, Lord.

From impatience, which wants everything now and forgets the hope of eternal salvation, save me, Lord.


Translated fromĀ my prayer in Portuguese and first posted on my microblog.
