Today I have been trying to renew my devotion to Christ, but it seems that when I try to discern the will of the Holy Spirit, I get confused and frustrated. It feels like the Holy Spirit doesn’t want me to file for unemployment. It seems really unwise to not do that, and usually when this happens I talk to my spiritual director, who usually tells me to do the reasonable things, and I end up not being so hypersensitized about what the Holy Spirit wants me to do at any given time. I wanted to ask for prayer that God would have mercy on me and give me the wisdom to actually discern His will rather than fall into superstitious, self-contradictory seeking for different feelings, because doing that burns me out every single time.
 
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 Bdonohe 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.
 
I pray that God blesses you with wisdom and the ability to see what His will is. Amen.
 
Guys I just want to thank you for praying for me. I have been extremely ungrateful to God but through the divine mercy I have been given grace to see Christ’s love in a deeper way. It didn’t overwhelm me with grief and guilt like I thought it would. God has given me such an amazing life and I am so thankful to all of you for your love. I pray that God bless each of you abundantly for praying on my behalf, and if there is an intention you want me to pray for, feel free to pm me and I will give it to Christ through the divine Mercy.
 
Prayer for the Help of the Holy Spirit

O God, send forth Your Holy Spirit into my heart that
I may perceive; into my mind, that I may remember;
and into my soul, that I may meditate. Inspire me
to speak with piety, holiness, tenderness, and mercy.

Teach, guide, and direct my thoughts and senses
from beginning to end. May Your grace ever help
and correct me. And may I be strengthened now
with wisdom from on high, for the sake of Your
infinite mercy. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

– St. Anthony of Padua
