My friend, I will pray for you to have newfound strength in the face of despair, for hope and joy when things seem impossible, and for our Lord Jesus to take your hand and lead you in the direction He has for you…there have been so many times in my life when I go :“Really, God? this is what you have for me?”…sounds terrible, but I know that we’ve all been there.

My dear grandma used to tell us all the time “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle, and He helps us handle what we’re given”.

Try to remember this, and ask the Holy Mother for support and intercession.

I will pray for you.
 
St. Ignatius’ Prayer for Generosity:

Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will. Amen.

Act of Hope:
In spite of these vague fears that seem to extinguish hope within my soul, I know that although You are the mighty and strong God before whom the cherubim veil themselves with their wings; the just and all seeing God who discovers blemishes in the purest souls; still You wish to be in the Most Holy Sacrament only the Victim whose Blood effaces the sins of the world; the Good Shepherd who hastens after the strayed sheep and carries it tenderly and unreproachfully back to the fold; the Divine Mediator who ‘comes not to judge, but to save’. All this I know, my God, and therefore I hope and trust in You!

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”

"On high I dwell, and in holiness,
and with the crushed and dejected in spirit,

to revive the spirits of the dejected,
to revive the hearts of the crushed." (Isaiah 57:15)
 
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 thou, O heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
 
Always take advantage of your Guardian Angel’s help. It’s powerful, and he’s always there for you. Also, I’ve been finding lately that asking Mary’s help has been a real help. A mother’s love is beyond description.
 
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, we fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you do we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not our petitions but, in your mercy, hear and answer us. Amen.
 
Praying for you to be abandoned to the Lord’s merciful love full of confidence in his merciful love. May you tell Jesus you trust in him and his saving graces whenever you are tempted to despair. May you find a spiritual director to meet with regularly for strength and support, and to help you get over your despair and apathy. May you find strength, healing and comfort in the sacraments and receive them frequently. May the Lord draw you closer to himself and may he help you to keep faithful. Amen.
 
Dear MarcoPolo,
This is taken from a portion of St. Patrick’s Breastplate Prayer towhich I prayed for you.

As 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 to me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s host to save me,

From snares of devils,
From temptation of vices,
From every one who shall wish me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone and in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers
between me and those evils,

Against every cruel 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 women and
smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge
that corrupts man’s body and soul.

Christ to shield me today
Against poising, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So there come to me
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
every one who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye of
every one who sees me,
Christ in every ear
that hears me.
 
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 our death.
Amen.
 
Without the generosity of you prayer warriors, I think the world would stop.
