I am facing another year of teaching and I feel totally uninspired, stressed out and resentful about having to teach lower school instead of kids that are at an age I can relate to. On top of that I am having severe doubts about the faith and the more I look for answers the worse my doubts get. I feel abandoned and have never had a disconnect with God like this since since several years ago when I was off my meds. I don’t know what to do and I’m afraid of having a breakdown and losing my job.

I need God’s help desperately right now but I’m not worthy of a miracle, nor do I think I would respond faithfully were I given one. Please pray for me I don’t know what to do.
 
I’m praying for you. May God help you in your job situation, resolve your doubts and bring you closer to Him.
 
I too am a teacher, I know the beginnings of every year are daunting, but my faith in the Lord ALWAYS gets me going! May your faith keep you going…as far as the miracles…every child who is touched by you is a miracle, don’t ever let yourself forget that! Praying…
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
 
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.

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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Bdonoho in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

Dear Dbonoho,
Well, dear, you know you are not alone. We who walk w God, have periods of growth and lapsed periods b/c of fatigue and stress.
1- if you are on medication for Depression, continue them. OR see your doctor to check on your medicine and it’s effectiveness. A Depression makes us feel God isn’t w us. He is!
2- put on your whole armor of God. You are in a spiritual battle. Read your Bible. Say your prayers faithfully. Play Christian PRAISE MUSIC! Very necessary.
3- Start planning your school year around common core but w a flare. Depending on kids ages, buy a box of reward things to give at end of week, if work is completed… Once a month, do a culture day. Spanish. Get them posters off of internet. Decorate room. Call tourist shops and see if they have brochures for the countries you need. Costumes? Depends on financial state of class. You wear a costume?. Food samples?? Make the culture come to life. Music playing in class.
4-Pray! Find a new teaching partner.
Dear God. Pls hear our prayer. This sweet child of Yours, is depressed. Help her get excited about the school year. Help her recall to play a lot of Praise music. Remind her to see her doctor. The KIds need her. Hopefully your attention will fill her up w bubbles. Heal her hurts. Let her see You work. In Jesus name
Amen
 
Dear Lord, please be with Bdonoho in his spiritual journey. Please make him realize that through you there is joy and promise of lasting peace. Please touch his heart and enlighten his mind. Walk before him and beside him that he may walk in Your footsteps and reach out to you at all times, in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen
 
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. Amen.
 
Dear Lord

I come to you tonight with a heavy heart. You have felt my pain and suffering and only you know the hardships and pain that i feel. I ask you Lord to take control and be the compass of my life. I ask that you walk with me and become a major part of me as i walk through this journey called life.
 
Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, I place Bdonoho into your hands at this difficult time. Help Bdonoho to know that Bdonoho is not alone. Please pray for Bdonoho, asking God to send Bdonoho comfort for Bdonoho’s sorrows, bravery for Bdonoho’s fears, and healing for Bdonoho’s suffering. Ask our loving God to strengthen Bdonoho’s faith and give Bdonoho the courage to accept His Will for Bdonoho’s life. Thank you, St. Jude, for the hope you offer to all who believe in you. Amen.
 
Never lose faith…in the end, it’s all we have.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
 
Don’t feel that you’re unworthy of receiving a miracle. Jesus healed all kinds of people; poor people, sick people, blind people, mute people, those who were oppressed by demons, etc. You’re just as important [to God] as they were. 🙂

I pray that God resolves your situation and that He strengthens your faith.

The administration thinks I might need to take some time off for mental health. My Dad thinks I’m fine but I’m afraid that I’m too unstable to function right now. I’m terrified of not having a job but I’m just as scared of losing it in the classroom. I’m going to see my spiritual director right now.
