The Litany of Trust is a modern prayer for surrendering fears and anxieties to God. Composed by the Sisters of Life, it asks Jesus for deliverance from common spiritual obstacles and affirms a deep, personal trust in His providence and love. Ave Audio offers this litany as a powerful aid for overcoming doubt.
This litany was written in the 21st century by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V., a member of the Sisters of Life. This religious community was founded in New York in 1991 by Cardinal John O'Connor to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. The prayer’s structure and language address contemporary anxieties, yet they are rooted in the timeless Christian virtue of entrusting oneself completely to God's divine providence, a theme explored in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 302-314).
The Litany of Trust guides the soul from fear to faith. Its first half identifies specific internal barriers—like the fear of being unlovable or resentment about the past—and asks Jesus for freedom from them. The second half makes a conscious act of will, professing trust in God's goodness, presence, and perfect plan. It is a spiritual exercise in abandoning self-reliance and accepting the peace that comes from a dependent, loving relationship with the Lord, echoing Jesus' call to have faith.
This prayer is especially powerful during times of uncertainty, anxiety, or major life discernment. Many pray it in the morning to consecrate their day to God's will, or at night to release worries before sleep. It is also a fitting prayer for Eucharistic adoration, before confession, or whenever one feels the grip of fear, discouragement, or the temptation to despair. It helps re-center the heart on the reality of God's loving care.
