Prayer to Divine Providence

Prayer to Divine Providence

The prayer to Divine Providence is directed especially to implore God's beneficial influence on the affairs of men, based on the belief that God is the Creator of the Universe, and everything that happens within existence obeys his divine plan. Through prayers, a kind of mediation with the Supreme Being is achieved, to try to receive the greatest possible help from divine action, that is, for God to perform "miracles" on us.

What is Divine Providence?

Divine Providence is about the action by which God carries out his will to guarantee the fulfillment of his designs, governing the destiny of human beings and influencing the natural order of all things.

To begin to understand the functioning of God's influence over all of existence, we must bear in mind that He has created the laws of nature as an initial resource, through them the preservation and balance of the universe and of the creatures that compose it.

Although the natural laws continue their course, because it was thus established by divine provision since creation, God continues to be regent of all of them, therefore, it is possible that he changes or intervenes in earthly affairs that according to his wisdom he deems necessary.

However, the concept of Divine Providence has various interpretations, including philosophical ones. The Greeks of the pre-Christian era did not conceive the idea of ​​Divine Providence as such, rather, they called it "destiny", having in common the perception in which a superior and impersonal authority defined the irrevocable designs above everything that existed. .

Be that as it may, ancient paganism gradually assumed the understanding and belief that there is providence or influence by a supreme entity over all men.

The Catholic doctrine of Divine Providence states that God is in control of all things. He is the only ruler of the universe, absolute ruler of the physical world, and of human destiny, intervening directly on his successes or failures and on the protection of the people from him.

What is asked of Divine Providence?

Due to the control that God exercises over everything that exists in creation, and according to what is written in the biblical texts about the meaning and power of Divine Providence, we can identify according to its attributions, the type of requests that can be made:

  • With respect to physical laws, which the Creator imparted from the beginning of his work, all creatures are assigned a function according to their nature and will never disobey his mandates, which indicates that in times of tribulation we can ask Providence to find the right and indicated path for us in the eyes of God.
  • With respect to the moral and transcendental laws with which man is inspired, it is estimated that God filled us with science and intelligence, and made us know good and evil, constantly working on it, therefore, it is logical to ask to Providence that intervenes in our personal and internal affairs, when going through moments of despair, anxiety, sadness, misfortune, depression, temptations and everything that harms us emotionally and mentally.
  • For Divine Providence there are no coincidences, everything is propitiated by his will, that is why we can ask him to generate the precise opportunities for us to be able to prosper both physically, mentally, and spiritually, thus helping our evolution within the precepts of God.
  • Obviously, the influence of Divine Providence can cause abrupt and unexpected changes in the most difficult situations to solve, resulting in what we know as "miracles". All this always happens under the will of God and without forcing the divine plan, therefore, in our prayers we cannot abandon the hope of asking him to solve all kinds of health, economic, conflicts with enemies, sentimental problems, and of any kind. nature, from the simplest to the most complex.

Are prayers to Divine Providence effective?

Prayers to Divine Providence

Definitely, prayer to Divine Providence is very powerful and effective. Let us remember that prayer is used as a petition, and it is written that God wants us to ask him. The Bible says that the Lord says: "Ask and it will be given to you" (Lk 11:9). That is why prayer as a request is a fundamental tool for communication with the Creator and above all to pray for his beneficial action through providence.

Believers have always been clear that God hears their prayers efficiently, Saint Thomas said about the constancy of Divine Providence and the efficiency of prayer of supplication that: «Exclude the effect of prayer (alleging the immutability of providence of God) amounts to excluding the effect of all other causes.

So while the constancy of divine order does not deprive other causes of their effects, it does not deprive prayer of its power either. Therefore, prayers are not effective because they modify the layout of the divine plan, rather, they are effective because they are part of that plan.
