These days I had the grace of taking part in the annual retreat which we, Capuchin friars, do every year. Sometimes, life leads us to dire straits. One feels puzzled as how to proceed.
During this retreat I learnt the following prayer to tackle such situations: “Lord Jesus, if you were in my place what would You do? How would You behave in this situation?”
If you believe in Him, in a way or in another Jesus would reply to you. Taking this practice seriously, it will certainly help you to improve in your spiritual journey of following the Lord Jesus.
