Hi,

I often have a hard time praying. Oftentimes the only way I can pray is the Rosary. Something unpleasant occurred recently, and I have not been able to pray much at all. Usually I spend a lot of time just listening to God, but I have been disturbed lately by certain events and an interaction with another person which was not welcome, and I have not been able to pray even one Rosary for a couple of days. Normally, I pray at least 4 rosaries daily, and a few Divine Mercy chaplets. Please ask God to bless all those who have difficulty praying, especially those who do not know how to pray or whether they are praying authentically. I know quite a few people who have no faith in prayer, and when I have a hard time praying, I think of them, and ask God to help us all to pray as we ought. But please pray for me to be fruitful in prayer and shake off this recent disorienting event.

Thank you all for your prayers. May God bless you all. Amen.
 
Lord, hear our prayer!

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord
is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst
women and blessed is the fruit of
thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of
God, pray for our sinners now
and at the hour of our death, Amen.
 
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.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

I get that way sometimes. It will pass. Just try and focus and if you can’t offer that up. The Lord understands us better thn we understand ourselves.
 
Hello, well my opinion is, it’s not you who has difficulty in praying, it is Satan blocking you to do it. I encountered this kind of problem a year ago, i just kept on praying until Satan went away. So please don’t ever let Satan maneuver you on this situation, let Mama Mary do it by not giving up on praying especially the Holy Rosary. Praying for you…God Bless
 
Praying that the Lord may strengthen you and enable you to overcome the recent event. Also praying for all necessary graces for you.

“When your heart is distracted in prayer, bring it gently back to the point from which it has wandered, and lay it tenderly at the feet of its Master. If you do but this your hour will be well employed.”
  • St. Francis de Sales
Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful
And kindle in them the fire of Your love
V: Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created
R: And You shall renew the face of the earth

Let us Pray:
O God, Who instructed the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, Grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen

Praying for your intentions.
 
Come, O Holy Spirit. Let this pearl of the Father and delight of the Son come. O Spirit of truth, Thou art the reward of the saints, refreshment of souls, light in the darkness, riches of the poor, treasure of lovers, feeder of the hungry, and comfort of wayfarers; indeed Thou art the one in whom all treasures are contained.

Come, Thou who came to Mary so the Word might become flesh and also work in us through grace as Thou worked in her through grace and nature.

Come, Thou who art nourishment of every chaste thought, font of all mercy, and sum total of all purity.

Come and consume in us whatever impedes us from being consumed in Thee.

Amen.
