Hello everyone.
This is my first time writing here so please ignore my grammar or some vocabulary mistakes.

I just turned 20 years old (male) 2 days ago, and i’ve had this prayer request on my mind ever since i was a child. Every day, the thought of it consumes me and i can feel my faith slippin slowly away every single day that goes.

I have not been a good christian, but i’m really trying my best every day to preach the gospel, both to my family and my friends. My Family is non-christian so it’s really hard for me to talk about God and Jesus to them because they just don’t want to listen. It seems that i’m all alone and the only one i can talk to is God, but sometimes it feels like God is distant… but in reality, it was always me who were distant from God.

I won’t mention what the prayer/blessing is, but i ask you, from the bottom of my heart to pray for me. If this prayer get answered somehow by God, according to his will, i would have much higher possibility of saving my family and my friends.

Thank you for listening, and have a wonderful day!

God bless

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

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.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (FellowBeliever), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

I am in a similar situation. I’m the only christian in my family and they never want to talk about God, nor do they want to follow Him. I pray that God guides your family and friends to the truth. Amen.

Welcome @FellowBeliever.

Prayer for Conversion of Sinners

Lord Jesus Christ, most merciful Savior of the world,
we humbly beseech You, by Your most Sacred Heart,
that all the sheep who stray from Your fold may one
day be converted to You, the Shepherd and Bishop
of their souls. Amen.

Welcome! Praying for you, stay strong 🙏

Blessed Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful-
Mother and love the weary, abused, neglected
or forgotten among us-
Give your aid to all needing help or healing-
Assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering-
Be with those needing peace-
Console the lonely or brokenhearted-
Comfort the lost, hopeless or fearful-
Guard the unborn-
Pray for those who are dying or who have died-
Touch those who do not yet see truth or have hardened hearts-
Help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go-
Show us the way to do the right thing-
Protect those who are in danger, and
Guide us from every evil.
May all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen

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.🌹
 
Peace be with you.

You have come to the right place, at least online, for prayer power. I’m four decades past 20, and thinking of young me wrestling with life at that time — let alone faith — makes me wish someone would have recommended to me what I recommend to you. It’s what I told my oldest daughter, as a teenager long ago: Find a mentor, someone older who you respect and can trust and confide in, beyond we parents and family members. Share and ask.

I’m not sure, from what you wrote, what your childhood prayer was and how your faith seems to be slipping away in relation to it. BTW, never worry about being a bad Christian; Christ’s love instantly forgives His followers when they ask and ALL Christians fall short.

I have faith sustaining meetings and. Scripture study with Catholic friends. I also receive spiritual direction that enriches my faith journey. In your case I might also suggest finding a Stephen Ministry companion. Their ministry is to listen and pray with you. During a particularly difficult period in my life, a decade ago, a Stephen minister walked with me, and we spoke weekly together about what was happening, faith and wrestling with difficult circumstances. Just having a real ordinary Christian person just listen and emphasize with my difficulties made a great difference!

In sum, please do no go through this alone. We are members of the Body of Christ, meant to support each other. While you can find prayers for your needs here, and they help, I would suggest a more one-on-one, dedicated approach.

Adding my real virtual prayer here for you journey. Peace.

Do not lose faith! God will do what He must in His own good time!
