Don’t know about you, but I can struggle as the Lord works to make me more like him and less like me. First Christ leads me one way, then life drags me another. So every day becomes a prayer for deliverance from myself. Perhaps the prayer below will help you as much as it helped me to write it -- and return to it from time to time. Prayer for Deliverance
I pray, O Lord, for deliverance from all the things I yearn for, from fear and doubt and anger, too. I pray, O Lord, for deliverance. Show me, Lord, how to become more like you. Show me the way of the servant, seeking neither favor nor redress and asking only for the certainty and trust of belief. I pray, O Lord, for deliverance from all my petty concerns and from the worry and discomfort of uncertainty. I pray, O Lord, for deliverance, to be a blessing, first to myself and then to others. Show me, Lord, the way to your cup, and grant me the Grace to drink of it freely. Give me the strength, O Lord, to surrender in my struggle and accept your peace. I pray, O Lord, for deliverance from all the things I yearn for. I pray, O Lord, for deliverance from myself. © 2009 by Brian E. Faulkner

Prayer is an essential part of my day-to-day life. If you ask me, prating is the best way to calm ourselves down. If you cannot think properly, then telling God what you are feeling is one way to deal with it. I hope that I am not offending people who are not religious, that is not my intention in the least. I hope that we can all embrace our faith and continue to pray to the Holy Father.
