I can’t even think what to type, but don’t know where to go to get help…except here. I don’t matter, but if anyone could pray for nothings like me, that we all could hold on although so tired, those of us who are invisible and alone may feel a something that keeps us going. I pray for all who are in the same slow-motion falling that God may send you someone to grab you and hold you up when you are so weary.
 
From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Afternoon reading (None) Galatians 5:22 - 25 ©

What the Spirit brings is very different: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control. Since the Spirit is our life, let us be directed by the Spirit.

O God, come to my aid.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
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. Alleluia.
 
Peace flows like a river when we allow it. God of peace, please flood out all emptiness and self doubt and replace that negative with everlasting joy and confidence.
Mother Mary, please intercede on our behalf.
 
I am praying that God give you comfort, and I will keep you in mind when I pray the rosary tonight and attend mass tomorrow morning.
 
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

( “Love your God above all things”. It is what has helped me heal, wat has helped me to realise, that even when my own siblings or friends have hurt or abandoned me, it really is no reason to think that I do not matter. The Lord, my Creator, my Father, the Almighty and only true God loves me, watches over me, and is there with his loving mercy ready to bless me with every grace and tool, that I need to live day by day. One has to live focused on Him, connected to Him. We come from Him and our real mission is to return to Him when He calls. We are creatures of a loving God, therefore we are lovig creatures also, so when we are injured, abandoned, betrayed, etc. by people we love and trust. It seems devastating, and it truthfully hurts, but we have to live by the first commandment first. It is that order of following the first commandment first, that keeps us from loosing the road or giving up. Loving people, being so attached to them and then getting hurt by them, can take us to a down sense of our selves. But we have to refocus, and follow the correct order of loving God first and above “ALL THINGS” this will bring us joy strength, hope and faith again.🙂 )
 
Dear soul, you are not a nothing. You are precious.
May God give you all the graces for faith and faithfulness, for courage and love and peace that you desire and need. :grouphug:

Our God, You command that I forgive and rightly cherish myself. Like many people in human history, I often find it difficult to sincerely and consistently love the ‘self’ that I find mirrored in my consciousness. I know that You can bring me to appreciate the miracle and privilege of my existence!

How can I refuse to love what God loves! You treasure me, as You love and treasure each unique, human person that You create. Yet I need much grace to love this betrayer of my true being and purpose, myself! I betray Your loving creation of me by failing to be fully ‘the person I am created to be’.

You love each person so much that it led to the incarnation of Your divine Son, and to His redemption of humankind. Jesus is Your response to my betrayal of my destiny and me. Yet frequently I am unconvinced or indifferent before these astounding gifts of divine love for me and for every person!

Please help me to value each person as Your beloved and eternal gift. Inspire me with faith and gratitude for the gift of myself, for the lives of dear ones and of all people. Grant that these human gifts are shaped by Your love to become everlasting gifts to You, and through You, eternal gifts to each other person.

Through Jesus, You taught us that cheerful, loving mutual service of others leads to fulfilment of Your creative will. **Therefore, give me grace to faithfully say ‘yes’ to Your loving purpose by active respect and charity to others and me. Delight Yourself in me by forming me into the unselfish, joyful, helpful and prayerful person You dreamed me to be for You and others’ souls for time and eternity. **

Amen! You are not a nothing in God’s eyes, neither are you invisible to Him or alone for He is with you.

Prayers for you.

I love your prayer…the part I bolded above. My husband and I pray together daily, one of our intensions is “for those who have no one to pray for them.” Glad to meet you snowgarden, your prayer has helped me in the past. Thank you!! God loves you, same as He loves us all, I will pray that someone special will come into your life, that God has chosen, to be your friend so that you never feel alone. With God though, I don’t ever feel alone, lean on Him, talk to Him, pray to Him, let Him know how much you love Him too, let Him know all of your needs.

Aw–you are not nothing.😦 God created you–you are a unique person, no other person like you. God took His time to give you life. Whatever you’re feeling, I pray that it passes…and that you gain great strength and comfort through Christ. ((hugs))
 
May God bless you, Snowgarden! :heaven:

I have felt that way all too often - invisible and alone. It’s something I struggle with even now. But hold on, deep in your heart, to the knowledge that you *aren’t *alone, no matter how it seems at the time - Our Lord is with you and he truly does love you! You are his child and he is with us, even when we cannot sense it.

My prayers and good wishes go with you.

*Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord: Lord hear my voice.
Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If Thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
But there is forgiveness with Thee: because of Thy law I wait for Thee, O Lord.
My soul waiteth on His word: my soul hopeth in the Lord.
From the morning watch even until night let Israel hope in the Lord:
For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plentiful redemption.
And He shall redeem Israel, from all their iniquities. *

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee! :gopray:
 
You cannot be a nothing, for God created you in his image. You are clearly a special person to God and to all of us. I will pray for you right now.
Father, we ask you to lift up this child of yours.
Give them that feeling of being special and loved.
Open their mind and heart to You and the power of
Your love. Remove all depression and saddness from
their mind.
We ask all of this in the name of Jesus!
AMEN
 
Send your ministering angels Lord to help the guardian angel.
Lord of the Powers be with us, for in times of distress we have no other help but You.
Lord of the Powers, have mercy on us.

Lord, I do know what 'Snowgarden means in a way, and wonder how many of us, while we do carry on with normality, in our hearts feel so helpless because we carry more burdens than we can communicate…and they sometimes leave us awake for hours at night, often because of our real concerns for insoluble problems in lives of those whom we love or in our own…and it all adds up to a mute suffering and loneliness, however friendly or giving we are, and while we do sometimes ask for prayer, we still feel so alone and unimportant, and that no one can ever really understand and no one can really help…and maybe not, but sometimes there are hands to hold ours for a moment to pray for/with us, and that helps us to get by, just,…for the moment.

Our burdens are real and sometimes there seems to be no solutions, and to make it worse, sometimes our spirit plummets enough that we seem to be losing faith and losing hope, and losing You. When we feel we are losing You, it seems we are losing everything that matters.

Have mercy on “Snowgarden” and upon all who experience these things. Be present to all little suffering souls, Lord.
 
Thank you all for your kind words and advice. I’ve looked at all your names and said a prayer for you. Feeling on the verge of taking to my bed and crying forever has passed and I’m holding on. God have mercy and pull back all lonely tired poor souls from the edge.
 
Thank you for your prayer for each of us.
I ask God to grant your prayer, “God have mercy and pull back all lonely tired poor souls from the edge.”
At Communion I ask the angels to take the comfort of Jesus to each one.
I remebered this prayer in my journal that I wrote because I know what loneliness can be,

Desire to help others
God please intercede in me all my life for other people. Accept as prayer, my desire to help others, and bless them in all our interactions. Accept as prayer for others, every breath, heartbeat and cell of my body, every thought, word and act of my life. Let all I am as child of God, be united with Your love for others. Let me become a living “amen” to all Your loving hopes and dreams for other people. This can only be realised through Your merciful love, which You reveal through Jesus in those who follow His ways.

Allow Your Spirit in me to spiritually locate the sad and abused, lonely and despairing, anywhere in any age, so that I may obtain the word or touch that decides them for life, goodness and love. I wish no person, however wretched or sinful, however lukewarm or obnoxious, to feel overlooked. Yet if only I were not such a poor instrument. Yet in this period of history, a two-dollar piece of paper with a few hopeful symbols upon it, can win even as much as twenty million dollars. Likewise let me ‘win’ Your Mercy (which each trusting soul can win) so that I may truly be able to help others. February 2002

I trust You to heal any way I fail to live with spontaneity and joy, and enhance my capacity to cheer and bless others. I believe You will heal any way I fail Your loving dream of me, and any failure to promote the fulfilment of Your dreams for anyone. I trust You to heal anyone who judges me, of the burden of their judgement, as it may pointlessly distract and irritate them. Bless anyone who sees the reflection of God’s grace in me. Bless those who welcome me as a friend.

Thank You for the love, affection, attentiveness and affirmation that You inspire in me for others. Help me to flourish joyfully as the person that You created me to be.
 
God, I pray and trust that You pray powerfully in me for the salvation and welfare of each person throughout time as if I loved him or her unconditionally. Through Jesus and through Heaven, I offer to God all good thoughts, acts and achievements, all grief, anxiety, frustration, discomfort of each person, of each creature throughout time. (Also from my journal, so you were not forgotten from long before I knew of you.)

The following poem “But” was written by a Divine Word Missionary, inspiring us to love of others, even in the smallest gestures of human kindness.

It was only a sunny smile,
And little it cost in the giving;
But it scattered the night
Like morning light,
And made the day worth living.
Through life’s dark warp a woof it wove
In shining colours of hope and love;
And the angels smiled as they watched above,
Yet little it cost in the giving.

It was only a kindly word, a word that was lightly spoken;
But not in vain,
For it stilled the pain
Of a heart that was nearly broken
It strengthened a faith beset with fears,
And groping blindly through mists of tears,
For light to brighten the coming years,
Although it was lightly spoken.

It was only a helping hand
And it seemed of little availing;
But its clasp was warm,
And it saved from harm
A brother whose strength was failing.
Its touch was tender as angels’ wings
But it rolled the stone from the hidden springs
And pointed the way to higher things,
Though it seemed of little availing.

I don’t know the name of the missionary who wrote this, but isn’t it the most wonderful prayer-poem for sad, lonely hearts!
A big hug, Trishie
