Please pray for my family and for me. I know God never asks of us more than we can give, but sometimes He can ask close to that. Another wave of my depression and severe anxiety was triggered, like always by bad relationships I have with my family. I can’t find the strength inside me to be opened and happy around anyone from my family. There is close to no relationship in my family (not just me with the others, but everyone has a bad relationship with everyone). I have a strong sense and fear of something bad happening in the very near future. I’m not sure what could it be and I am telling myself that this has got to be just in my head.

Sometimes I read posts (especially in this section of the forum), about family problems and to me it’s the most bitter thing that can happen. Bad relationships in a family and everything that this brings is so bad (even worse than if someone dies), that only those of you who experienced it can understand. It’s the enemy’s infiltration to one place where you would expect to feel safe and where you can rest.
 
Praying to St. Dymphna for your health & recovery. Praying for your family as well.
 
Praying for you and your family…

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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon TwoNames and Family 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

Prayer Against Depression
………….By St Ignatius of Loyola

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.

Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Oh my dear one, you are right in knowing that this is where the evil one loves to cause problems “the place we should feel the safest”. My heart hurts for you knowing you don’t have this “safe place”. But you ARE a member of a bigger family…HIS family and you are NOT ALONE (it is a lie to believe you are). Jesus’s love for each of us is beyond our understanding…it is IMMENSE! He is as close as our breath and desires beyond words to be near us and help us. I am praying for you tonight.
My love in Him, your sister in Christ,

A CATHOLIC PRAYER
FOR ONE’S FAMILY

O Jesus, our Lord and our brother!
We recommend our family
and all that is ours to your protection;
we confide all to your love.
Fill our house with blessings,
even as you filled the holy house of Nazareth with your presence;
before all else,
keep sin far from it.
Do you alone reign by your law,
by your most holy love,
and by the exercise of every Christian virtue.
Let all of us obey you, love you,
and study how to copy in our own lives your example,
that of Mary your Mother,
and that of your blameless guardian, St, Joseph.
Keep all evils and misfortunes far from us and our house,
but grant that we may be ever in harmony
with your divine will,
even in the sorrows which you send to us.
Finally, grant us the grace to live in perfect harmony
and in the fullness of charity toward our neighbor.
Grant that every one of us may deserve by a holy life
the comfort of your holy sacraments at the hour of death.

Amen.
 
Very one goes threw some kind of Depression and have family problem,s, so turn to praying and let God guide you threw your problem,s.

Prayers continuing for you and your family…

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen. †

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Amen. †

Jesus, Help Me

In every need let me come to Thee 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 my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts,
Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Thy grace alone can assist me,
Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Thy tender love as Father and Savior,
Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me,
Jesus, help me!

When sickness and loneliness overcome me,
Jesus, help me!

Always, in weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind,
Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen. †

Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.
Sweet Heart of my Jesus, grant that I may always love You more.
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of You.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like Your Heart.

Amen. †

Prayers said. All will be well. Do not fear, the Lord is protecting you.
Do not be lonely, your guardian angel is beside you.
Be comforted, Mother will watch over you, and the
Holy Spirit will guide you.

Amen. †
