0627 Prayer.... Call upon Me in time of need....

October 18, 1938: Book 13

Trusting in the Father's help will make everything in life easy for you to bear, for all suffering is sent to you by the Lord and Savior, so that you may find your way to Him.... If, however, you go out of the suffering only hardened and embittered, then you deprive yourselves of all help from above. You may take refuge in prayer at any time and thus have the greatest confidence that you will be heard, because whatever you are destined to do.... there is nothing so bad that the heavenly Father could not turn it into a blessing. Every child has the right to turn to the Father in supplication. Those who turn to the heavenly Father in humility, will never make a wrong request....

But you all use the power of prayer too little.... You must first find yourselves in great need before you approach the Lord for help. And yet every day, every hour should bring you blessings.... you should not undertake anything without having implored God's blessing.... you should turn upwards in sorrow and joy.... you should use the power of prayer at all times, because your soul constantly needs help so that it already reaches the goal in earthly life. And also in other respects you lack strength.... alone, without prayer you can do only little, but since you are entitled to the grace of prayer, use it as far as possible, beg for help in need, for purity of heart, ask for grace, for firmness of faith, for energy in charity.... ask with all your heart that the Lord may give you His love and take care of you with His care forever.

You can ask without ceasing.... if you pray for your soul's salvation, you will find an answer, because if you recognize what you lack, every requested support will be granted to you. "Ask and it will be given to you...." , says the Lord. He invites you to turn to Him in your need.... , so heed this call and lift up the treasures the Lord promises you.... . Only do not fall prey to the mere form.... , for the Father never hears those who only appeal to Him for help with their lips.... and whose hearts are far away. And if your prayer is not answered, then inquire what you have not done right.... whether the prayer was sent up from the depth of the heart or only came from the lips and therefore did not reach the Father's ear.... inquire whether you have asked for earthly things which the Father withholds from you out of Fatherly insight and wisdom....

And always be careful to submit your will to the will of the Lord in every prayer.... For the Father knows what is good for you and necessary for your salvation.... He will consider you in a right way, but never will He grant you something out of false fatherly love, which is only to the detriment of the soul. Therefore submit yourselves to His will and believe that He always only thinks of you in such a way as is helpful and beneficial to the soul.... And if you faithfully call upon Him in earthly trouble, His help will not fail to come.... So that His word may be fulfilled: Call on Me in times of need and I will hear you....

Amen
