The following petitions to Jesus are taken from a novena to St. Therese of Lisieux at praymorenovenas.com They are worth saying every day, especially the first line, with our morning prayers, when we ask God for greater graces as we strive to grow spiritually on our healing journey:
Loving God, help me to see how I can bless and love everyone in my life.
I love your people, Lord. Help me to love them more!
I reflect you to the world, Lord. Help me to reflect you more clearly!
I rely on you, Lord. Help me to rely on you more!
I accept your will, Lord. Help me to accept your will every day!
I try to forgive, Lord. Help me to forgive 70 times 7 times!
I am humble, Lord. Give me more humility!
I see you, Lord. Help me to see you more!
I trust you, Lord. Help me to trust you more!
I love you, Lord. Help me to love you more!
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Loving God, help me to see how I can bless and love everyone in my life.
