Prayer For Choosing A State Of Life

From all eternity, O Lord, Thou hast planned my very existence and my destiny.

Thou hast wrapped me in Thy love in baptism and gave me the Faith to lead me to an eternal life of happiness with Thee.

Thou hast showered me with Thy graces and Thou hast been always ready with Thy mercy and forgiveness when I have fallen.

Now I beg Thee for the light I so earnestly need that I may find the way of life in which lies the best fulfillment of Thy will.

Whatever state this may be, give me the grace necessary to embrace it with love of Thy holy will, as devotedly as Thy Blessed Mother did Thy will.

I offer myself to Thee now, trusting in Thy wisdom and love to direct me in working out my salvation and in helping others to know and come close to Thee, so that I may find my reward in union with Thee for ever and ever.

Amen.
