Prayer for today (4/11/16)

Most blessed Jesus, our Savior and our friend. Before you had to leave us, you said not to worry for a comforter would come to assure us, to calm our fears and to guide us away from sin and evil. This is your plan for all who will invite this comforter into their days, and who really want to live a good and holy life. Only you, Jesus, can make the dark, lonely and lost find the comforter whom you sent to us. In your name above all names, I pray. Amen.
