Dear Lord please make things fall into place
I'm tired of evil men being successful in their evil. I'm tired of justice existing as an abstract concept. I'm tired of working and having nothing to show for it. I'm tired of being meaningless, waiting for God/Jesus to show up in my life. I'm tired of asking and praying. All I wanted to do was gymnastics.
I decide to come back to confession but afraid my priest may get impatient with me after committing the same sins again.

Shield them from evil and harmful influences, and guide them towards our Lord Jesus and our heavenly Mother and Father. Pray for the souls in purgatory, especially those on my list. Finally, I ask for your help with my financial needs. Help me pay all my debts fix the things I need to fix and the things I like to fix and maybe a trip to Guadalupe
