Prayer for Preparing Yourself For a Task

by

Whenever you plan to do something new, you need to first pray and seek God’s advice and blessings. It can be anything – like attending an interview, going for an appraisal meeting, giving advice to someone in distress, changing your job, buying a new house, finding a life partner and so on.  When the Lord is with you, he will guide you and show you the right path so that you take the right decisions. The following verses from the Bible will help you in your prayer as your prepare yourself for a new task.

Isaiah 45 :2 -3

2 I will go before you
and level the mountains,
I will break in pieces the doors of bronze
and cut through the bars of iron.


3 I will give you the treasures of darkness
and riches hidden in secret places,
so that you may know that it is I, the LORD,
the God of Israel, who call you by your name.

Amen

Hail Holy Queen

by

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To you do we cry, poor banished
children of Eve; to you do we send
up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.


Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
you eyes of mercy toward us; and
after this, our exile, show unto us the
blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

Note: This is the English version of the Malayalam Prayer “Parishudha Ranji”.
