I believe I was led here by a sermon several weeks ago by a priest at my parish for whom I have a deep respect. The sermon was about praying. And as I continue to ponder his words about praying, I have come to realize that in many ways, I’ve not been doing it well. Sincerely, yes, but ‘correctly’–probably not.

I am the breadwinner in my family, my husband is unable to work due to an illness several years ago. And I am now unemployed. And scared. And I have been praying for a job. See what I mean about not doing it right?

So I ask for your support and prayers to help me pray for the wisdom to see where the Spirit is guiding me.

This is my first time here and my first post–so if I am doing it wrong, please excuse my ignorance.

Blessings to you,
Sallygee
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are Yours, now and forever. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

First, Welcome!!

Second, I will leave the ‘how’ to other posters. I believe any honest conversation with Him is also ( and always! ) good since it comes from the heart.

Praying for you.

Sallygee, I just ask the Lord to hear the prayer that is the cry from your heart.
Jesus knows how difficult life can be, and He knows that His own family had more troubles than most, so I ask His loving blessing for you and your family

Jesus, this mother’s troubles and needs regarding her family made me think of Your Mother’s life, and Joseph’s. How difficult things were for them. When You Mother found herself pregnant with You, culturally, she could have been stoned to death, had not Joseph protected her. No peaceful birth amid family support, but a primitive and uncomfortable journey to an unfamiliar town, where no home could be found for Your birth, only an animal shelter. Mary could only hang on to those few bright moments when the Father’s love and light clearly showed through the difficulties and blind faith of most of her life. You were not weaned before a temporal king sent soldiers to murder You and massacred all infant boys in hope of accomplishing that, so Your family fled to a foreign country where Joseph had to find work regardless of language difficulties and refugee status. When finally news filtered through that the king was dead, Your family relocated to another area of Your land where Joseph again had to find work.

Jesus You personally know how difficult our lives can be and the stresses that it places upon families and breadwinners.
In love of Your mother who struggled through so many challenges, and for whom you provided in Your dying moments, please hear the prayers of this mother’s heart and urgent need for her family.
 
Hi Sally welcome to CAF 😃

I am so sorry you are going through such tough times. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.With love to you too!
God bless you

Lord please help Sally and all her family Amen

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me Amen
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Praying for you!
Btw, there’s no ‘right’ way to pray. In fact, you can pray without even using words!!! St. Paul said, Draw close to God and He will draw close to you. Seek Him with a sincere heart and you’ll find Him. Don’t worry about words, just find a quiet place- close your eyes & come into His presence. Just sit.

God bless!
 
Praying as I type. God bless!

p.s. The best prayer is from the heart…even if it’s the shortest one I know: “HELP!”🙂
