O God, Who sees that I have no power of myself to help myself, put into me the power to pray. Fill my heart with such love for Thee that I can come to Thee with trustfulness, and feel that Thou art near to help me. I do not need many words, for Thou knowest my inmost thoughts. Let me bring my cares and troubles, my disappointments and misgivings, to Thee as to a loving Father and most merciful Saviour. Put away from me that doubt and mistrust that hinder prayer. Make me know that Thou art always ready to hear and help me, because of Thy great love for us whom Thou hast made. Grant this to the weakest of Thy children. For Jesus' sake. Amen.
