Jesus, in this novena prayer, allows us to abandon ourselves to God.
It is written as Our Lord's conversation with a soul who is experiencing suffering and worrying, as revealed to Don Delindo Ruotolo. Father Ruotolo was an Italian priest and at one time the spiritual director of Saint Padre Pio. Both men knew suffering very well and it guided their holiness.
They, like Jesus, were so intimate with suffering that they understand our pain now in the Earthly life.
How to endure suffering? Surrendering ourselves to God. We invite Him to work within us. He provides the grace we desire if we give our pain, fear and worries to Him.
***
Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything. (Say 10 times.)
