When life's trials weigh on us, Lord,
Lighten them, send them far off:                      
When we're speaking to others,
Help us so that them we won't scoff.

Like you help us be gentle,
Help our hearts like yours show love:
The way that you are thoughtful,
Them, help us be thoughtful of.

When life feels it's near its end,
And things keep on going wrong:
Give us strength and wisdom Lord,
To live our lives so they're strong.

Lord, keep us safe in your sight,
Show us how we're to  live right.

Lord, help us to trust in you,
Wisdom help us to pursue:
Help us show love for others,
As you show love for us too.

When life has its ups and downs,
And we find it hard to live,
Stabilize our lives then, Lord,
Help us know how to forgive.

With your help, Lord we'll triumph,
Living as you want us to:
Give us needed endurance
That holiness we'll pursue.

Merciful Lord, please help us,
Put temptations underfoot:
A true wise way of living
Into our minds, Lord there put.

Lord, help us to live  like you,
When we find life full of strife:
Give us the strength and courage,
So we'll have pure love in life.           

Life isn't always our way,                    
With your help it can go yours,
When we're open to your will,
We notice joy in life pours. 
                               
Hopeful Lord, help us to be
At times when we find life rough:
Help us so we won't worry,
Peace and joy give us enough.

Lord, our hearts for love you made,
Help our love to never fade.

My dear, guardian angel,
Through this night stay nearby me,
If I should die before I wake,
Take me to heaven's beauty.              

My dear guardian angel,      
Today now is at an end,
God has made you my angel,
He also made you, my friend.

Watch over me during life,
Protect me from the devil's wrath,
In life help me avoid sin,
Help me follow heaven's path.                

God's love is brilliant and bright,              
In which I'll always delight.

Life's Crosses
Lord, it was on Good Friday,
For us you were crucified:
To show how much you love us,
On Calvary there you died.

When crosses are hard to bear
Our lives Lord will you then touch?
Lord, then help carry the weight,
And to us it will mean much.

When we find life burdensome,
Others help us to think of.
Give us the strength and courage,
So we can give them our love.

Help us with life's crosses, Lord
Lead us to heaven's reward.

Welcome Spring
Now that winter is over,
For months Jack Frost will be gone:        
Spring is now awakening,
Green is on the plants and lawn.

Yellow daffodils landscape,
The towns and the countryside:
Forsythia blossoming
Is a sight that's hard to hide.    

The cold days will get fewer,
And the warm days will get more:
The apple trees will blossom,
Just like years they have before.

There's no way I want to freeze,
Warm months I treasure the most:
Give me days when the sun shines,
So in the sun I can toast.
My dear guardian angel,
Watch over me through this night:
If I should die during the night,  
Close by keep in your sight.

When I meet my Creator,
Be with me there at my side:
You know my strengths and failures,
And in you I can confide.

For helping me through my life,
My gratitude I express:
When God asks something of me,
Help me know how to say yes.

Guardian Angel like you,
Help me so that I'll be true.

Jesus, like you help us love,
So the world's a better place:
Times when life is depressing,
Give our hearts a warm embrace.

When life is full of sorrows,
And is full of agony:
Lift us up in times like these,
And  put our minds more at ease.    

Your Father's will help us know,
His commands help us follow:
Jesus, help us love like you,
In holiness help us grow.                  

Help us be meek and gentle,
This request we ask of thee:
Humble, Jesus, help us be,
The truth, help us clearly see.

Help us to be courageous,
At times when we're made fun of:
Not returning an insult,
Instead responding with love.
Of the sins I have committed,
Lord, help me to be aware of:
Help me to repent of them,
And give to you Lord my love,

When I see others in need,
Help me know what I should do.
With my time and possessions,
Help me use them Lord for you.  

First in life help me keep you,
And show you my gratitude:
Help me be kind and loving,
So that your ways are pursued.        

Heaven is my destiny,
How to live help me to see.

Lord, help me be slow to act,
When patience I'm in need of:
Lord, give me wisdom I need,
So I'll know how I should love.

Help me live as you want Lord,
With heaven my destiny:
Help me live my life for you,
Living a life that's holy.

When I encounter hardships,
And lemons life gives to me:
Put in my life some sweetness,
So I won't be so grumpy.

You know what I can handle,
And things that are hard to bear:    
Help me that I won't lose hope,
When I need you most, be there.

Counsel us, Lord, what we should do
Lord, give us wisdom that we need,
Holy lives help us to pursue,

Tell us what you want us to do,
This request, Lord, we ask of you.
Lord, heal both our hearts and our minds,
And let our lives become anew.

Lord, help us to know right from wrong,
To your ways help us to belong:
Help us so we'll stay close to you,
Help our souls, Lord, to remain strong.

When our souls, rough times try to taint,
Then give us help to be a saint.
