WORN DOWN October 31

GOOD NEWS from Psalm 31: 9 
O Lord, have Mercy on me. In my anguish I am WORN DOWN in misery. My eyes are WORN DOWN, weak, and red from weeping with so much crying; my health is WORN DOWN and broken from sorrow and my whole being is tired and WORN DOWN from pining away with grief; my years are shortened, WORN DOWN and  drained away because of sadness. My sins have WORN DOWN and sapped my strength; I stoop from being WORN DOWN with sorrow and with shame.

WORN DOWN (LIFT UP)

Dear Heavenly Father God and Compassionate One,
Thank You for surrounding me with the Grace of Your Presence, including times when my soul needs LIFTING UP from being WORN DOWN and crushed by grief; sorrow is the only emotion I feel.
Comfort me with Your Kindness and LIFT ME UP with Your Mercy.
Give me reprieve and LIFT ME UP from this weight and into Your JOY.
I know that You Hear me whenever I call out to You, and I know You will hasten to LIFT ME UP and be my aid.
Meet me with exactly what I need today, JOY!
Give me Your Grace and be The Strength that sustains me until JOY comes.
You help LIFT UP the weights that are WEARING me DOWN as You sit with me and let me lean on You and Your Love and Your Joy as I'm doing today and everyday.
Your Presence LIFTS ME UP and lightens my load.
Come a little bit closer Lord.
Thank You for Your Constant Presence that is always here with me and always LIFTING ME UP and carrying me into Your JOY.

JC: Learn to listen to Me even while you are listening to other people opening their souls to your scrutiny, which is My Holy Ground. You need the help of My Spirit to respond appropriately, by asking Him to think through you, live through you, love through you!  My Stream of Living Waters flow through you to other people so you can be a channel of My Love, Joy, and Peace just by listening to Me while you are listening to others. 

“Prayer of an Anonymous Abbess:

Lord, you know better than myself that I am growing older and will soon be old. Keep me from becoming too talkative, and especially from the unfortunate habit of thinking that I must say something on every subject and at every opportunity.

Release me from the idea that I must straighten out other peoples' affairs. With my immense treasure of experience and wisdom, it seems a pity not to let everybody partake of it. But thou knowest, Lord, that in the end I will need a few friends.

Keep me from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point.

Grant me the patience to listen to the complaints of others; help me to endure them with charity. But seal my lips on my own aches and pains -- they increase with the increasing years and my inclination to recount them is also increasing.

I will not ask thee for improved memory, only for a little more humility and less self-assurance when my own memory doesn't agree with that of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be wrong.

Keep me reasonably gentle. I do not have the ambition to become a saint -- it is so hard to live with some of them -- but a harsh old person is one of the devil's masterpieces.

Make me sympathetic without being sentimental, helpful but not bossy. Let me discover merits where I had not expected them, and talents in people whom I had not thought to possess any. And, Lord, give me the grace to tell them so. Amen”

MANTRA:

I am releasing what is heavy.

I am welcoming what is light.

My mind is clear.

My heart is open.

I am at peace.
