Sustain Me, Jesus,
And Give Me Strength

Saint Faustina approached prayer with an open and faith-filled heart. Even in times of distress, her prayers were pure and completely trusting in God's will. 

My Jesus, support me when difficult and stormy days come, days of testing, days of ordeal, when suffering and fatigue begin to oppress my body and my soul. Sustain me, Jesus, and give me strength to bear suffering. Set a guard upon my lips that they may address no word of complaint to creatures. Your most merciful Heart is all my hope. I have nothing for my defense but only Your mercy; in it lies all my trust. (Diary entry 1065)
