In despair I heard folks say, indeed I heard myself say many times,"well I can always pray". So what is wrong with that? Praying is never wrong, but our attitude can be. We sometimes think we are the savior and must fix everything. However, when all else fails we turn to pray as the last effort. We tend to have the attitude it can't hurt, so we might as well try it. The truth is prayer should be our first effort! We pray and tell God He can use us if He wills and as He wills. The Surrender Novena and Prayer is a great prayer. Pray it daily, and then let God be in control.
