Selfishly, I ask for prayers for myself.
For forgiveness for my sins and aid me to a better spiritual life/overcoming the obstacles I face, in order to attain the salvation of my soul. I am in a fearful state and in need of spiritual help. I beg this by God’s Grace and Mercy, in the Name of His Divine Son, Jesus, and through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. God help me.

I’ll be praying for you. Know that it isn’t selfish at all to ask prayers for yourself, but is actually a very good thing. First, it is humble, because true humility isn’t humiliation, it’s not trashing yourself or lowering yourself–it’s just seeing yourself as you really are, as God sees you, and if you see that you need prayers (hint: all of us always do!) then it’s not selfish at all to ask. Second, asking for prayers for the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of your soul can never be selfish for the simple fact that if by sinning we hurt the unity of the Church (there is no such thing as a solitary sin), by seeking true forgiveness and contrition and penance, we then build back up the unity of the Church by receiving that gift of unity from God! So fear not, seek confession and repentance, and keep striving!

I commend you to the Blessed Virgin Mary. May you turn to her and receive her powerful assistance. I pray that your problems are solved by your devotion to her and to the holy rosary. I pray that you will be abandoned to Our Lord’s merciful love full of confidence in his merciful love. Amen.
 
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, the children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this land of exile.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
lead us home at last
and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
