Daily Reflection with Fr. Tomas Del Valle-Reyes



Dear Friends: Praying is not easy. Our daily routine calls for our full attention. And the world around us puts little value on prayer; our lives are full of material things but at the same time are getting emptier in God’s value.

For this reason, I will post a daily reflection and as you visit this site may the Holy Spirit within you come to your aid and guide you gently to the God who loves you

Prayer for the Broken-Hearted

"Dear Father, You alone, God, know the sorrow deep within my heart and You alone are the One who can heal my broken heart.

You who are my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me” (Jeremiah 8:18).
In this darkest of times in my life, Father Lord, I turn towards you, asking You to mend my brokenness and extend Your healing into to every area of my heart that is ripped and torn apart.
I’m powerless, Lord, to remove this heartbreak from my heart but You who created my innermost being and knit me together in my mother’s womb, can make my heart anew again (Psalm 139:13).
I praise You, Father, because in You, I can be set free from the grief, as your word assures, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36).
Thank You for Your nearness to me during this time of overwhelming heartbreak and loss.
In Your beautiful name I release my deepest sorrows and receive Your abundant life.
Today, Father, I receive Your freedom from this brokenness to heal my heart.
I look to you to turn my sorrow into joy and to replace my many tears shed with joyful songs (Psalm 126:5).
In Jesus’ name,
Amen"

Prayer for Your Children

Lord, I release my children to Your care and protection,

and I relinquish my will for them in favor of Your will.
I know I can't go everywhere my child goes, but I know you do.
Please protect them.
Give us wisdom for how to parent well.
Give us peace in Your goodness toward our children and your love for us.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.~

When Feeling Inadequate

Dear Lord, Thank You for fearfully and wonderfully creating each of us.
Thank You for giving us worth in Your eyes.
Help us live as the one You uniquely intended us to be.
Help us abide instead of striving, living peacefully and joyfully as heirs to Your Kingdom and co-heirs with Christ. In Jesus’ Name,
Amen

Lord, Control of Tongue

Lord, I know my tongue often gets ahead of my mind and heart.
I am quick to speak, and I repent of the many thoughtless things I have spoken.
I am sorry for the words I have spoken in anger or in gossip.
Please help me to see when I am about to speak without thinking and to check my heart. Help me be slow to speak.
Help me Lord to be a person full of loving words, full of your Spirit, overflowing with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control.
Amen.

for Hope and Trust

Father, sometimes it does feel that you have left us in the battle.
We know that you are with us, but so are our feelings of aloneness.
The Enemy seems to be taking ground.
Our crying out to you seems to go unanswered.
We know you are at work but help us trust you during our questions.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Prayer for God’s Strength

Lord, thank you for your greatness.
Thank you that when I am weak, you are strong.
Lord, the Devil is scheming,
and I know he desires to keep me from spending time with you.
Don’t let him win! Give me a measure of your strength so that I might not give into discouragement, deception, and doubt! Help me honor you in all my ways.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen

Prayer for Self-Control

Father, today I ask forgiveness of all the negative and harmful words
I have spoken about myself.
I do not want to abuse myself in such a way again.
Transform my thoughts and let me understand how marvelously you made me.
Change my habits so I use my tongue to speak hope and favor upon my life.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
