The Litany of Trust is a prayer composed by one of the Sisters of Life, Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, SV. In it, we ask Jesus to deliver us from the things that hold us bound, and we place our trust in His promises.
From the belief that
I have to earn Your love
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear that
I am unlovable
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the false security that
I have what it takes
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear that
trusting You will leave me more destitute
Deliver me, Jesus.
From all suspicion of
Your words and promises
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the rebellion against
childlike dependency on You
Deliver me, Jesus.
From refusals and
reluctances in accepting Your will
Deliver me, Jesus.
From anxiety about the future
Deliver me, Jesus.
From resentment or
excessive preoccupation with the past
Deliver me, Jesus.
From restless self-seeking
in the present moment
Deliver me, Jesus.
From disbelief in
Your love and presence
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of being asked
to give more than I have
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the belief that
my life has no meaning or worth
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of
what love demands
Deliver me, Jesus.
From discouragement
Deliver me, Jesus.

sustaining me, loving me

than anything else

Your goodness always respond to me
