I’m going through very hard times and feel extremely lost. I’ve been unable to say my Rosary for quite some time, and have been putting off searching my conscience and going to Confession.

I have some hard decisions to make and desperately need the Lord’s guidance, protection and mercy. My life is a mess and I have no idea where and how to start untangling it.

Please pray for me.
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in your time of need.
 
Praying God will give you peace during this rough time in your life.

Maybe make an appt with your Priest before you consider going to confession. I’ve found sitting down with my pastor first helps him understand my present issues.
 
I don’t quite understand your post. You “can’t” pray the rosary? Perhaps you won’t pray or don’t pray the rosary. If you start to pray the rosary again your life while “untangle,”, perhaps slowly, perhaps even rapidly. As I do not know the full story behind your post, please forgive me if I offer you poor reflections on your situation. I think that prayers are a choice and it is separation of self from God. if one choses not to pray You have my prayers.
 
Praying for you!

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
Amen.

By Saint Ignatius of Loyola
 
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.



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 (iohannes12), 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.
 
***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.

PRAYER TO THE VIRGIN MARY AS UNTIER OF KNOTS

Holy Mary, full of the presence of God during your life you accepted with great humility the Holy Will of the Father and the legacy of your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Evil never dared to entangle you with its confusion. Since then you have interceded for all of our difficulties. With all simplicity and patience you have given us example on how to untangle the knots in our complicated lives. By being our Mother forever, you arrange and make clear the path that unites us to Our Lord. Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart untie the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive in your hands Iohannes’ difficulties and deliver us from the chains and confusions that have us restrained. Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession and by your example, deliver us from evil and untie the knots that keep us from uniting with God, so that once free of every confusion and error, we may find Him in all things, have Him in our hearts and serve him always in our brothers and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us . Amen.
 
Hi iohannes,

I am so sorry for your struggles.

Please don’t give up. I have been where you are, and sometimes all that I could do was just say ejaculatory prayers like, “Jesus, help me!”, “Jesus, I trust in you,” “Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, pray for me.” Short prayers like that.

Prayers said for you. Prayers said to St. Anthony of Padua for you, for peace of mind.

May God bless you during this difficult time.

Hang in there.
