Day 5 Where You Go

The Surrender Novena 

Day 5

And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Where you go, I will go. 

Where you stay, I will stay. 

When you move, I will move. 

I will follow you.

Those lyrics are from Chris Tomlin's song, "I will follow you." 

 Prepare our hearts to follow You, O Lord!

Lead the way.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. 
Isaiah 55:8-9 

Help us to surrender our thoughts and our ways.  

Help us surrender our hearts and our worries. 

Carry us in your arms.

Wherever you go, I will go. Ruth 1:16 

 Miracle Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus  

Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past, I have asked for many favors. This time I ask for a very special one. (Here mention your request.) Take it, dear Jesus, and place it within your own heart, where your Father sees it. Then, in his merciful eyes, it will become your favor and not mine.

  1. The prayer for day 5 fits perfectly with my post today-- "It Was Then That I Carried You". Amazing!

    Lead the way, Amen! Looking forward to Day 6!
