Good day to you all. I just wanted to stumble in here for prayers. I have done some things that are leaving me feeling broken, empty, even at times alone. The cuts have been deep on both sides and I am really, (really) empty right now and am in need of strength that I am having trouble finding. I am truly, heartfully sorry for what I have done and want things to go back to where they were, maybe in time, but the walk is heart-wrenching. Many times I feel like nothing. I cannot express myself very well right now. I know I was wrong and I admit failure and will change, but am still broken.

Thanks in advance for your prayers.
 
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.

As you pray for this situation, please include my wife in your prayers as well.
 
My heart goes out to you. Better yet, God’s heart is with you. He will never leave nor forsake you.

A certain amount of guilt is healthy, but condemnation does not come from God.

When ever I fall, I almost always have these lyrics brought to my remembrance.

**We Fall Down **(Bob Carlise)

refrain:

We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up

And the saints are just the sinners

Who fall down and get up

You are in my prayers brother…🙂

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Beloved, we are God’s children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
1 John: 1-3

I’m not a Priest, but it sounds like a confession session would do you a world of good; as it does all of us! Just a thought… 😉

Let’s pray:

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
 
In my weakness You are strength

Jesus, thank You for those who see my faults or misunderstand my motives and who thus reveal my need for conversion and healing.

I repent my unworthiness and sins, and ask that You offer me as gift to God in each broken moment restored.

Gather up my lost moments, Jesus! Cleanse and shape them with my sorrow merged with Your sacrifice. Burnish and set them with Your forgiveness, and illuminate them with Your love as treasures of witness, intercession, and atonement! Thus, make my flawed life into a gem of praise, service and delight for You in the Communion of Saints.

Praise to You, Jesus, who make treasure out of ordinary and fallen human beings!

“I live in a high and holy place, but I am also with the contrite and humbled spirit, to give the humble new life…I will heal and console him.” says the Lord God.” [Isaiah 57:15, 18]
 
“Have mercy on me, O God in Your goodness,
in Your great tenderness, wipe away my faults;
wash me clean of my guilt,
purify me from my sin.

For I am well aware of my faults,
I have my sin constantly in mind,
having sinned against none other than You,
having done what You regard as wrong.

You are just when You pass sentence on me,
blameless when You give judgement.
You know I was born guilty,
a sinner from the moment of conception.

Yet since You love sincerity of heart,
teach me the secrets of wisdom.
Purify me with hyssop until I am clean;
wash me until I am whiter than snow.

Instil some joy and gladness into me,
let the bones You have rushed rejoice again.
Hide Your face from me sins,
wipe out all my guilt.

Be my saviour again, renew my joy,
keep my spirit steady and willing;
and I shall teach transgressors the way to You,
and sinners will return.

Save me from death, God my saviour,
and my tongue will acclaim Your righteousness;
Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will speak out Your praise.

Sacrifice gives You no pleasure,
were I to offer holocaust, You would not have it.
My sacrifice is this broken spirit,
You will not scorn this crushed and broken heart.” (Psalm 51

Hugs, Trishie
 
For Mirror Mirror and his wife,

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.

Mary, conceived without sin, pray for them.
 
I hope you will accept my thoughts for you and your wife, and family. For whatever they are worth.
Your prayer request for some reason, really touched me.

St. Dymphna, holy patron of those with mental disorders such as depression, pray for the OP. :crossrc:

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. :crossrc:
 
Lots of people here all day long praying. You get very few posts of prayer in response to your request, so I just keep your situation in my thoughts and more than you, for your wife and family.
 
Many times for me, I know that I ask for prayers from others and it seems like a mere formality than anything else. This time however, was much (much) different. I was sincere about how low I felt. As the day progressed, I began to feel slilghtly better, yet there was still a pain that would not subside.

I was touched by the prayers of each person on here. They were truly felt by me and I am blessed to have such amazing people in my life (even though we have not met and likely will not this side of heaven) that are willing to offer up prayers for us. They were felt! Those that offered personal thoughts and words of encouragement, I say THANK YOU! They really touched a place in my heart that needed the love, support and encouragement.

I cannot say it enough, how grateful I am. Each of you is a blessing and I am so glad that you took time out of your day to offer up prayers for us. I do not feel as ‘empty and alone’ as yesterday. Things have taken a turn for the better, but there is a reason that I was feeling that way and now I need to make sure that I do not let that happen again.

Now comes the prayers for strength and perservence. You continued prayers and support are amazing. I will pray for each of you as well.

I am blessed.

Great news! What you need now, is healing from the Holy Spirit!

Let’s pray:

Prayer for the Help of the Holy Spirit

O God, send forth your Holy Spirit into my heart that I may perceive, into my mind that I may remember, and into my soul that I may meditate. Inspire me to speak with piety, holiness, tenderness and mercy. Teach, guide and direct my thoughts and senses from beginning to end. May your grace ever help and correct me, and may I be strengthened now with wisdom from on high, for the sake of your infinite mercy. Amen.

Saint Anthony of Padua
