PRAYER TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER
O Father God Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, of all that is visible and invisible -- how sweet and liberating it is to know that you are my Father and I am your child.
Above all, when I am depressed and my suffering is truly heavy, I always feel the need to say to you:
Heavenly Father, I believe in your love for me. I believe that you are my Father and that I am your son/daughter. I believe that you love me with an infinite love. I believe that you watch over me day and night and that not a hair on my head falls without your consent -- in accordance with the holy scriptures. I believe that your are infinitely wise -- you know what is best for me. I believe that you are infinitely powerful -- you bring out the good from the bad and you dispose everything for the good of those whom you love.
Behind the hands that wound, I kiss your hands that heal. I believe but please increase my faith. And above all, increase my hope and charity.
Teach me O Lord, to surrender to your "Will" as a child in the hands of his Father. I surrender to you the control of my life and of my whole being. Direct O Lord, my life and my life's journey. From this moment I will live only for you.
Heavenly Father, I believe you know everything, you see everything, you can do everything and you love me truly and infinitely. I believe you know what is best for me and that you know me better that I know myself. So I come to you and with total confidence I beg you -- in the name of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the intercession of the Immaculate Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary, of St. Michael the Archangel and all the Holy Angels and Saints in Heaven -- that you save, heals and free me from all evil.
Heavenly Father, have mercy on me. Amen.

PRAYER TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
"Lord Jesus Christ, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof but only say the Word and my soul shall be healed."
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you sinful and sorrowful. Lord Jesus, you know all my needs, my troubles, and my sufferings -- you know all the things that imprison, torment, and corrupt me. If it be you Holy Will, Lord grant me the grace for which I fervently pray... (Mention your intentions).
Lord Jesus Christ, my sins render me unworthy of your mercy. But your infinite love has saved me. Thank you Lord Jesus for sharing my human life and for dying for me on the Holy Cross. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving humanity especially me -- and with a joyful and grateful heart I make this solemn pledge:
Lord Jesus Christ, In your most salvific name, I renounce for ever Satan -- any and all allegiance that I may have ever given to the devil through my faults, mistakes, sins, failures, and ignorance. And I bind and reject all of his works, attractions, influences, and empty promises (repeat par. 3x).
Therefore, I confidently proclaim that this body (my body) is the temple of the Holy Spirit -- a body redeemed, cleansed, sanctified and justified by your most precious blood. For such reason, Satan the devil has no power over me nor a place in my heart. I now and for always belong to Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with the Holy Spirit in the glory of God Almighty Father -- one God for ever and ever, Amen.

PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
O Holy Spirit, in the most salvific name of the risen Lord Jesus Christ, in accord to the Will of the Father, through the prayers and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, of St. Michael the Archangel, and of all the Holy Angels and Saints in Heaven, and in union with the Holy Catholic Church -- we beg you O Lord, to come to our aid. Come O Holy Spirit, with your power and put to flight the Hostile forces of Satan. O Holy Spirit, protect us in Faith, Hope, and Charity.
O Holy Spirit please come into my heart and with your holy angels take dominion over my senses. Direct my path, O Lord, and enlighten my understanding, cleanse and purify my heart, and make me humble and obedient child of God. Amen.

Lex Luces, thanks for posting this prayer to the Holy Trinity. It's well structured and, in places, very poetically rendered. It's long too so I won't be able to commit it to memory, but I will print it out and look it over and use it.
