A Prayer to Mother Mary for Inner Peace and Simplicity in Life’s Decisions

O Blessed Virgin Mary,

Mother of Peace and Example of Simplicity, I come before you today with a heart seeking clarity and calm. In the many decisions I face, I often feel overwhelmed by my own desires and fears, and I long for the simplicity and peace that come from truly aligning myself with God’s will. You, who embraced life’s path with humility and trust, are my model and my guide. I ask for your intercession, O Mary, that I may find inner peace and simplicity in seeking God’s direction for my life.

O Holy Mother, you approached each moment with a heart fully open to God, holding nothing back and trusting completely in His guidance. Teach me to live with that same spirit of simplicity, letting go of the distractions and worries that make my choices seem more complex than they are. Help me to seek only what God desires, finding joy in following His will, no matter where it leads.

Sometimes, O Mary, my mind is clouded by unnecessary fears and concerns. I struggle to see what God is calling me to do because I am focused on my own ambitions or on what others might think. I ask for your prayers that I may quiet these distractions and create space for God’s voice. Help me to detach from anything that keeps me from truly seeking His guidance, finding clarity in the stillness of a heart that is content with simplicity and surrender.

O Mother of Divine Simplicity, I ask for your intercession in helping me embrace a peaceful spirit, even in times of uncertainty. Life’s decisions are rarely clear-cut, and I know that choosing well requires not only discernment but also a heart free from turmoil. Teach me to approach each decision with an open mind, free from anxiety, and to trust that God will show me the right path if I am willing to listen and follow.

When I feel pressure to make choices quickly or in haste, O Mary, remind me of the importance of patience and calm. Teach me to wait on God’s timing, understanding that true wisdom often requires stillness and reflection. Help me to resist the urge to act on impulse, choosing instead to seek God’s counsel through prayer, reflection, and quiet trust. May I find peace in waiting for God’s guidance, knowing that He will lead me in His perfect time.

O Queen of Heaven, I ask for your intercession as I seek to discern God’s will with a humble heart. Sometimes, my pride or fear of the unknown holds me back from embracing the simple path that God has laid before me. Help me to set aside my own desires and expectations, finding the courage to surrender fully to God’s guidance. May I come to understand that true happiness lies not in following my own plans, but in living a life that reflects His love and grace.

I also ask for your guidance, O Mary, in seeking simplicity in my relationships and responsibilities. The pressures and expectations of the world can sometimes make my choices feel complicated and burdensome. Help me to let go of the need for approval or success, focusing instead on what brings peace to my heart and honors God’s plan for me. Let me be guided by a desire to live simply, to love deeply, and to serve joyfully, trusting that God’s path is always the best.

O Mother of Divine Peace, guide me to find clarity in the quiet moments of prayer and reflection. The world is often loud, pulling me in many directions, and I struggle to hear God’s voice amid the noise. Teach me to cultivate a peaceful mind, where I can discern God’s will and make decisions with calm and trust. Help me to find strength in the silence, knowing that God often speaks in whispers rather than in commands.

When challenges arise, O Blessed Mother, help me to remain steadfast in peace and simplicity, even when the way is unclear. You faced many difficulties in life, yet you carried each burden with patience and quiet strength, trusting that God’s grace would provide what you needed. Help me to follow your example, relying not on my own understanding but on God’s faithful love and mercy.

Finally, O Mary, I ask for your prayers as I strive to live a life that reflects God’s grace and simplicity. Help me to seek His guidance in every decision, great and small, knowing that each choice I make has the power to bring me closer to Him. Let my heart be open to His will, my mind attuned to His peace, and my spirit filled with the courage to live simply and with purpose.

Thank you, O Blessed Mother, for your constant intercession and love. I place my heart and my decisions in your care, trusting that you will lead me to your Son, who is the source of all peace and wisdom. Through your prayers, may I grow in simplicity, clarity, and trust, living a life that honors God’s presence and purpose.

Amen.
