Hi,
I have been struggling to find a field of work that I can do successfully in spite of my mental health issues. I recently tried out a retail training program but it did not work out, although I am glad I tried something that challenged me. But the job would not be a good fit for me, with my mental difficulties in some areas.

I am considering applying for library jobs. Everyone I know thinks that would be a good fit for me. I worked in the library in my town when I was in high school. I love books, I read a lot, and I like helping people learn through books. I honestly wish that after high school I went to a local college, so that I could’ve stayed working at the library.

But I am considering this mainly because I think God wants me to work in a library. It just seems to fit my skills and my abilities perfectly, and I spent all these years trying to pursue education and careers that did not fit my skills and my talents. I feel that if I had stuck with working in libraries, I would have avoided all the failures and dead ends that I pursued in my life. Please pray for me, that if God wants me to work in a library that I successfully apply and get hired in such a job. Or maybe I find something that is similar that utilizes my talents and abilities well.

Thank you all.
God bless you. Amen.
 
Prayer for One’s State in Life

From all eternity, O Lord, You planned
my very existence and my destiny. You
wrapped me in Your love in baptism and
gave me the Faith to lead me to an eternal
life of happiness with You. You have
showered me with Your graces and You
have been always ready with Your mercy
and forgiveness when I have fallen.

Now I beg You for the light I so earnestly
need that I may find the way of life in which
lies the best fulfillment of Your will.
Whatever state this may be, give me
the grace necessary to embrace it with
love of Your holy will, as devotedly as
Your Blessed Mother did Your will.

I offer myself to You now, trusting in Your
wisdom and love to direct me in working
out my salvation and in helping others
to know and come close to You, so that
I may find my reward in union with You
forever and ever. Amen. ✝️

Prayer to St. Joseph:

Joseph, by the work of your hands
and the sweat of your brow,
you supported Jesus and Mary,
and had the Son of God as your fellow worker.

Teach me to work as you did,
with patience and perseverance, for God and
for those whom God has given me to support.
Teach me to see in my fellow workers
the Christ who desires to be in them,
that I may always be charitable and forbearing
towards all.

Grant me to look upon work
with the eyes of faith,
so that I shall recognize in it
my share in God’s own creative activity
and in Christ’s work of our redemption,
and so take pride in it.

When it is pleasant and productive,
remind me to give thanks to God for it.
And when it is burdensome,
teach me to offer it to God,
in reparation for my sins
and the sins of the world.

Amen.
 
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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 art thou amongst 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

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.
