Hi folks,
Well its now Aug 2014, and i have been struggling all year, life just sucks now. I have lost my will to go on, will to live, just going through the motions until its my time to go, up or down it doesnt matter anymore, my hand or gods will, i too doesnt matter.You know what i mean. I sick and tires, fed up, with the constant kicking while you are down.
People will say what about your famialy, well they will get over it and move on, people all do! I pray and pray and pray, novenas, morning prayer, evening prayer, pray to saints, all goes on deaf years. Bills just keep comming, money to pay them is no where to be found. The demands of life is too much for me to handle anymore.

All i ask for is just a little blessing to get me on my feet but to be honest its just a flat out NO! Its like you ask your father ( when your a kid ) dad, may i have candy, he says NO in a stern voice.

I ask ! Lord, help me , all these troubles hurt a lot of people not just me, if you want to punish me, punish me alone and not involve my famialy. I cannot provide for them anymore, i give up!

please pray for my soul, my life, my after life, my daily life. A little blessing.

Life is a gift, i would give my life to a sick child so they may live than me.

I pray you never lose hope and lose the will to continue to live. Though it may seem unfair that God gives you these challenges, He is also close to you as any loving father would be. You say you have a difficult time providing for your family so I understand the depth of your despair; I pray your remember that despair is a tool of the devil. Satan wants you to give up and turn from God. Pray to God that He may grant you understanding, wisdom, and perseverance to continue following Him with all your heart and soul.

When I faced my darkest moments, it felt like there was no hope, no light, that I would never laugh again or smile but I heard God calling out to me to get up and stop thinking of myself. Slowly slowly I turned away from the evil one and back to God. Our Father is all powerful with unlimited love; trust in Him.

Please pray with me:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 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 you,
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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever will be; world without end. Amen.

God’s Peace be with you.
 
Life is difficult , it is often a sham, our body chemistry makes us on occasion not see things as we could, our situations are complex and sometimes intolerably difficult. We are not born equal, some are born with health, looks and brains others seem to have no gifts at all. Sometimes your own family lets you down and downright nearly destroys you or perhaps so called friends do it, or society wears you down.

Despite all this out of nothing your life was given to you as a gift. Nothing you did achieved this , nothing your parents did achieved this because even the same gift was given to them.

In that gift there is at least this one thing, in creating you God clearly communicates that he wishes to be in a relationship with you, to love you and know you.

There are decisions those without hope can take, opportunities that will arrive, new paths to follow and behaviours to be changed that will lead you away from misery and towards an improved and happier life here on earth as also in the afterlife.

Like everything else we must remember that the only constant is change and the only change worth doing is to move towards God and becoming more good. When our hearts are with God and they are pure when we perform the actions of changing something then the actions are blessed by God. The best thing to do is to shut your eyes and walk blindly in faith towards the difficult that removes the misery but leads away from evil.
Never try kill yourself or harm yourself, your path as a human being is always towards betterment.

Amen!
 
I will pray for you. I also hope you will seek counseling. I have planned my suicide on 4 occasions, but I believe God stepped in each time to prevent me from going through with it. Since I’ve been taking my anti-depressant, Effexor, I haven’t planned my suicide again, even though there has continued to be a lot of bleakness in my life.

I am very familiar with financial problems. I look forward to the end of car payments next year so I can do a better job of getting out of debt. I have to live very carefully!

I do know that prayer helps. And so does counseling. I recommend both.

Please hang on… I care about you and your family! Don’t lose your faith.

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.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who
fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left
unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle,
be our protection against the snares and
wickedness of the devil. May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray, o prince of heavenly host, by
the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all
the evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
 
I am at a lost for words to describe how i feel, robin Williams took his life today, do i admire him for having the balls to do it or sadness for coming to the end all of end alls. my prayers are directed to his soul today.

I am trying so hard to keep smiling but i just want to break down and cry.

My son lost his tooth today and is looking forward to the tooth fairy, usually 20 dollars is placed under his pillow , this is my last 20 in my wallet, he wont spend it but put it in is piggy bank, his birthday is in a month what am i to do as a father, he doesn’t ask for much, simple kid, simple pool party for his friends ( turning 8 ) will do my best to provide. God willing.

i made so many mistakes in my life and hoping to have a reset. Was at a traffic light today going uphill, hoping that the semi in the other lane would loose control and drive over me, no such luck, still here, woke up 6am, hoping not to wake up at all.

My wife and kids are the only thing keeping me here, unconditional love i have for them. Is that enough? Cant feed them, pay bills, on love alone,

i have faith yes no matter what i do or did or will do, my faith is there, not too sure if my heart is in it, may be the lord knows my heart has left and just praying out of habit.

I always remember this from church, " deliver us lord from evil and grant us peace" i need that peace.

Lord help me see the light and the way out of this mess of a life.

I really feel for you, I was where you are now, and after working 12 hour nights I would drive past a particular tree with my name on in,
But I never did it, and I thank God with all my being ,that I never did,
I don’t wish to bore you with details,but life changed, a huge burden was lifted from me,
I lost my family,but I preserved my life,I now have traveled overseas and going again,
To the Vatican of all places,
Don’t never ever ever give up., sing the Lord’s Prayer,it’s easy,but then most things about faith is easy,
Code: 
 Good luck,,,,,,   P. M.    Me if you wish,,,,

Hi folks, im here quietly thinking of all the problems in life with no end in sight, pawned my wedding ring so i can pay electric, almost disconnected. What a sad day. I do want to thank all of you who replied and i do enjoy reading them, almost cried at one reply, last time i cried was last year in confession, cried like a baby.

I feel as though i am living in a nightmare and wanting to wake up. I just feel that the powers or ? That affects us all is truly enjoying kicking me while i am down. Another example, i ask for a delay in my loan payment, sure they said, it cost 50bucks per week! But end up getting a free bee since it was my first delay. 5days, so i was angry and started to rais my voice at them , so she told me this one is on the house. Good and the bad.

Sometimes i think of my younger days, i always ask god please help me, get out of this mess i was in, and he usually does,

Perhaps now as i am older he sees my heart is black, cold, does not cherish life, finds life a burden, hassle, pain in the …, he is teaching me a lesson,
Well i am probably not making any sense, so i shall just pray with all my heart. I am sure i will wake up tomorrow, no such luck of having a brain aneurism while sleeping.
 
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,

And lead us not into temptation,

O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
thrust into hell satan and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent, but with great confidence,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will,
which is love and mercy itself. Amen.
