Any prayers from you kind people would be greatly appreciated. I need prayers that The Lord will provide me with the strength I need to do the right thing. I am a very weak person who has been dominated and manipulated for a long time . Please pray that I find the strength to do the right thing for my children . Thanks in advance
 
Jesus who always chose what is right regardless of the challenges, please give guidance and strength to this mother who desires to do what is best for the children’s welfare. Please help her to find support in making the right decision and following through upon it.

Jesus please give healing and blessing to this family, and protect the children from harm.

Saint John, who stood with Jesus in love for Him when all His other apostles fled in fear, please intercede for the welfare and happiness of this family

Dearest Life Lessons, You are not a weak person. When someone dominates and manipulates you, you are not weak. The other person has taken a weapon of domination and manipulation and tried to force their will upon you. That does not make you weak.

Imagine a giant angry dog running and growling towards you. You stop in your tracks. You defend yourself with your inborn knowledge to remain still so the animal retreats. That is not weakness. That is strength. Now, when the animal retreats, you remove yourself.

Neither are you a weak person. You are strong. You also have Christ with you. You have all of heaven with you. You do have the strength to do the right thing for yourself and for your children. You are worthy to do this for both yourself and your children.

Dear Lord, We ask you to be with Life Lessons and her beautiful children. Give her your grace and strength to overcome fear and anxiety to be bold and strong to do what you are calling her to do. Help her in all areas with this situation. Be a Strong Voice that she hears guiding her. Let her know she is strong, she does have strength. Thank you, Lord.
 
St. Patrick’s Breastplate

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men.

I arise today, through
The strength of heaven,
The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,
The splendor of fire,
The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.

I arise today, through
God’s strength to pilot me,
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptation of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
afar and near.

I summon today
All these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel and merciless power
that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul;
Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me an abundance of reward.

Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
 
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.

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.

I just said a prayer for your intention. May God be your strength. God bless you.
 
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy 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.
 
Our heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name, please flood Your blessings upon this mother and her children. Please give her wisdom and strength to make the choices in her life that You desire for the true good of her family.
Father may Your loving will be fulfilled in this family.

Mother Mary please pray for them.

Saint Mary MacKillop, your father deserted your mother and you and your siblings.
Please pray for this family, that all will be according to their spiritual and temporal welfare.
