No one who sets a hand to the plough and looks at what is left behind is fit for the kingdom of God says the Lord.
Jesus, Help Me!
In EVERY need let me come to you with humble trust,
saying ‘Jesus, help me!’
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations: Jesus,
help me!
In hours of loneliness, weakness and trials: Jesus,
help me!
In failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows: Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and your Grace alone can assist
me: Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on your tender love as a Father
and Saviour: Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure at seeing no
good come from my efforts: Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and I
am lonely: Jesus, help me!
Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and
shortcomings of every kind:
Jesus, help me and never forsake me
PRAYER
King of glory, Lord of power and might, cleanse our
hearts from all sin, preserve the innocence of our hands, and keep our minds
from vanity, so that we may deserve your blessing in your holy place.
