Prayers For The Graces Needed Each Day

Everyday God waits to give us the graces we need.

Scripture tells us , "Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him." (Isaiah 30:18)

Here are some wonderful prayers to pray daily.

Oh my God, You know my weakness and failings, and that without Your help I can accomplish nothing for the good of souls, my own and others’. Grant me, therefore, the help of Your grace. Grant it according to my particular needs this day. Enable me to see the task You will set before me in the daily routine of my life, and help me work hard at my appointed tasks. Teach me to bear patiently all the trials of suffering or failure that may come to me today. Amen.

O Lord God almighty, who has brought to us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same by Your power; that we may not this day fall into any sin, but that all our thoughts, words, and works may be directed to the fulfillment of Your will. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.  (Source)

Eternal Father, your Son has promised that you would grant all the graces we ask of you in His name. Trusting in this promise, and in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, I ask of you 5 graces: 

First, I ask pardon for all offenses I have committed, for which I am sorry with all my heart, because I have offended your infinite goodness. 

Second, I ask for your divine Light, which will enable me to see the vanity of all the things of this earth, and see also your infinite greatness and goodness. 

Third, I ask for a share in your love, so that I can detach myself from all creatures, especially from myself, and love only your holy will. 

Fourth, grant me the grace to have confidence in the merits of Jesus Christ and in the intercession of Mary. 

Fifth, I ask for the grace of perseverance, knowing that whenever I call on you for assistance, you will answer my call and come to my aid; I fear only that I will neglect to turn to you in time of need, and thus bring myself to ruin. 

Grant me the grace to pray always, O Eternal Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.  - Saint Alphonsus Liguori
