Prayer to Live my Faith Well

Lord, thank you for my faith.

Thank you for all that You do for me.

You created me and called me to You.

Help me to answer Your call with faith, trust, and love every day.

Help my faith to grow.

Help me to trust You more.

Help me to love You more every day

and to love others more every day, too,

for You are present in each person I meet.

I read about the martyrs whose faith and hope in You

was so strong that they willingly died for You.

Lord, may my faith, trust, and hope in You be so strong

that I will be able to die for You if necessary.

Please help me to grow in my faith each day,

looking to You in faith, trust, and love for guidance

and help each step of the way.

May my faith, hope, and confidence in You grow even stronger

and may I one day hear these words from You,

“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

Thank you.

Amen.

Prayer to Live my Faith Well was inspired by the feast day of the martyrs Saints Andrew Kim Tae-Gon, Paul Chong, and his companions (September 20th). As Catholic Christians, we don’t just want to live our faith, but live it to the best of our ability. We see the examples of faith that the martyrs had and it can inspire us to have a deep, unwavering faith as well. Looking at their examples, we also know that such a faith is possible. With God, ALL things are possible. (Matthew 19:26) God will help us to be as close to Him as we can be. The quote, “Well done, my good and faithful servant,” is from Matthew 25:21.
