O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I am not sure why I still sometimes doubt Thee and Thy goodness. When I honestly think about it, there is really nothing that I have ever earnestly asked Thee for and not received. All of my persevering prayers have been answered by Thee. Why should I be surprised at this, though, when Thou hast plainly said, “Ask, and you shall receive”?
It is true that I have sometimes had to persevere in asking over an extended period, but nevertheless Thy promise remains true. Please help me to remember this and to be confident in Thee! Please also help me to persevere in my supplications and not to grow weary. But most of all, O my good Jesus, please teach me those things for which I should ask. I am only a little ignorant child, and I do not know what is best for me. I do not know what is most conducive to Thy greater honor and glory. Please direct my prayers to this end.
For my part, I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to subject all of my supplications to Thy most holy will. Not my will, but Thine be done.
“Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Thy love for me!”
