Daily Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 13

The Catholic Church, born of that precious Pierced Heart of Jesus during his sacrifice of love on the Cross, has the mission in the world to proclaim the redemptive love that comes from that source of his very heart. This is a great mission for each one of us. We cannot follow the currents and systems of thought of the human world that invite us to build our lives on the basis of wealth, power, strength, science or pleasure. That is not God´s purpose for our lives. For the daily prayer on June 13, we will ask God for the strength to overcome fear and to face those things in the world that seek nothing but our perdition.

Daily Devotion for June, 13.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is precisely the reflected image of God´s love in us. It is an image of a merciful heart which the heavenly Father, in his goodness, has willed to pour out upon the world through his Son. The goal of all of us should be to meet this pure love, and then to bring it to others. Only this love, the love of the Sacred Heart, can transform the human heart and bring true peace to the world.

Daily Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

For the prayer of June 13, we pray that God may give us the courage to overcome all our fears and to go forward, even against the currents of the world.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, today I want to bring Your Presence to this feeling that often kidnaps our heart and encloses it in cold and empty rooms: FEAR.

Lord, I know you know everything about me, my deepest fears and worries, terrible fears that lead me to paralyzing anxiety. I know that you will not stand idly by as you watch me sink into this state that leads to intense depressions.

I know that your promises of provision and protection for each of those who love you are true. But this fear that overcomes me keeps me blinded to your blessings and today I feel as if I were abandoned, even though I know that I am not abandoned by You.

I am afraid of uncertain things to come. I am afraid of being left behind. I am afraid of the outcome of my actions. I am afraid of what will happen to my loved ones. I can feel the worry and fear gaining ground inside me, like a virus out of control.

Help me Lord to find the peace I need. I surrender to your sovereignty. I know you are in control of everything. Open my eyes and my heart to that fatherly protection with which You shelter me.

You drive out the fear in my heart with your perfect love. Renew my strength. Free me from this hostile fear, from any spirit of fear that is bringing bad thoughts to my mind.

In the mighty name of Jesus, send Your Spirit to help me overcome my fear and keep me strong during this time of trouble and calamity that has come into my life and everything seems to be overwhelming. I feel like I can´t handle so much pressure and I feel like my life could fall apart at any moment.

I can feel you now Lord. Thank you because I know you have heard me and are beginning to work. Your word brings hope, faith and patience. Your silence now comforts me. I feel your protection and your deliverance, as I recognize you as my only refuge and the highest castle from which nothing external can reach me.

Hide me, Lord, in your tent. Put me on top of a rock. You are above the tumult you face. I glorify and praise you because you begin to banish that fear from my heart. I stand up and shout for joy knowing that you have heard my prayers in Jesus´ name. Thank you for your mercy. Amen.

Daily Psalm for the June, 13.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, before whom I shall tremble. (Psalm 21,1)

Sacred Heart of Jesus, on this day I want you to help me overcome any kind of unhealed wound that is causing deep fear in my life and stealing my freedom and my will to keep fighting. Amen.
