September of Divine Approvals | In Preparation for The Surrender Novena

Are you ready? WE START TOMORROW, 9/2! Tell a GoOD friend, and join us! "You're in a season where all they can take from you, is notes." - @spiritualasylum ___________________________________________ Guidelines for The Surrender Novena (9 consecutive days of prayer for special intentions)-- Start each day of the challenge by setting a clear intention. This could be a specific prayer request or a personal goal. Then, surrender even that to Jesus, asking Him to guide your prayers and intentions. Find a place to pray consistently-- same time and place--every day. Choose your prayer posture (seated, legs folded, kneeling, sitting, etc), and stick with it! I kneel! 🧎🏾‍♀️ Choose an item to have with you while praying (rosary, mala, bible, picture, painting, etc.) so that even when not in formal prayer, you can grab or glance at it and be reminded of what's True. I keep a rosary and a small Bible (also an image of the Black Madonna of Poland ) with me. It is believed to have been painted by St. Luke on a wooden tabletop carved by Jesus. It was while Luke was painting Mary that she told him about the events in the life of Jesus that would eventually end up in his gospel. (source: @EWTNmedia) No gossiping, complaining, excessive talking, or scrolling during these nine days. Also, catch yourself when you're judging or trying to manipulate or control what's beyond your control, like other people. Let them be them, and let God be God. FORGIVE EVERYONE, including yourself. We work on that in this episode. Optional- Fast from a certain food or drink during these nine days. I Love you, I Love you, I Love you, We start tomorrow. nik nikki@curlynikki.com Please support the show: ▶▶ https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings ▶▶ Cash App $NikWalton __________________________________________ "September of Divine Approvals" - @fr_james_a "God, my Father, I thank you for all that you are, and all that you do for me through your son Jesus Christ. I praise you for my life, for your mercy and for your Eucharist. In Jesus' name, Father, I place myself entirely in your Heart. I surrender to you my whole self, my heart, my mind, my memory, my imagination, my will, my emotions, my passions, my body, my sexuality, my desire for human approval, my weaknesses, my desires, my sins. I surrender every person in my life to you. I surrender every situation in my life to you. I surrender every relationship I am in to you. I surrender every concern I have to you. I surrender every fear I have to you. I surrender every doubt I have to you. I surrender all confusion I have to you. I surrender all sadness I am experiencing in my heart to you. I surrender all my wounds to you. I surrender all anxiety and worry I have to you. I surrender all that deceives me in my heart to you. I trust you to care for me and others in a perfectly loving way. As I have emptied myself, and surrendered everything to you, I ask you now, Father, to fill me with your Holy Spirit and all the gifts and fruits of your Spirit. Holy Spirit you are the source of love, hope, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, tenderness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. Purify my desires. Help me to open my heart to you. Help me to become perfectly receptive as a pure child. Help me to believe in your love for me. Help me to hope in your love. Help me to receive from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus all grace and virtues necessary for me to become the person you created me to be. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your son, God Almighty Father. O Most Holy Immaculate Virgin Mary. I entrust this prayer to your Heart, and ask you to press it to your wounded heart and intercede for me to your Son Jesus. Please help me to be as you are, a perfect disciple, an obedient servant, a true child of God. Amen." - St Vincent's Church Bulleitn "People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray." -Proverbs 10:17 "Persistent pain is usually the indication that we have become trapped in a life too small for our true nature."- Michael Meade "In the past, you worried a lot about where you would be at this point in your life. How could things possibly work out? And yet, here you are. You don't quite have it all panned out (which is a good thing), but you have a strong foundation to build from, and you're only a shift or two away from making your dreams your reality. As you project the vision of your life going forward, feel free to leave the worry behind. It's not needed where we're headed. Move with trust. Mirror good energy to the things that are out of your control, and use your highest version to meet life where it is." - @sourcemessages "Nothing is sweeter than love; nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more generous, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller or better in Heaven or on earth; for love proceeds from God and cannot rest but in God above all things created." -Thomas A Kempis, p. 87 "I was the most terrifying thing I've ever had to overcome." - @_awaken_one_
