I’m asking for prayer from you all for numerous reasons. I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders and I feel sometimes that I’m losing faith and hope. Despair and depression are lurking around every corner. I’m taking blow after blow after blow and I don’t know how much more I have left to hold on to.

If I can have a few people who will come into agreement with me and lift me and these situations up to the Father I would greatly appreciate it. Some from my church family knows what’s happening as well as the church I work for. Praise be to God for them and I am eternally grateful for their prayers.

*Christmas of 2014 my husband left our marriage for another woman, I’m still walking this out but I’m now facilitating a divorce recovery workshop in order to heal and help others heal too. (Prayers for my husband Justin as I wish him all the best in life.)

*My son was placed in jail during this past Christmas due to some poor choices he made and as a mother I would never have thought this would happen, my heart is breaking for him and I pray for God’s mercy and grace. (Prayers for Zach)

*At the beginning of January of this year I was in a horrible car accident with a large electrical truck that hit me from behind on a major highway, NO ONE was injured thanks be to God. I’m still walking that process out due to the lawyer and insurance co. taking their time. I’m losing patience, strength and hope here because I no longer have the vehicle yet still have a car payment. Thank you Jesus for one of the intern Pastors where I work who has loaned me a car for a time. But I need resolution to this problem. (Prayers for Jeff and Liberty M.)

*I just finished having my taxes done and never once have I EVER had to pay the government any money but this year for some reason I do, a very large amount. I have an appointment to go over the documents and gain some clarity I’m just at my wits end here. (Prayers to find errors)

*My mother may be starting dialysis soon as her kidneys are not working as they should. (Prayers for Kathleen)

This has not been the year I thought it would be. I was so hopeful that getting past the pain of separation from last year that this year would bring much grace, but it’s so difficult to see what God is doing and how I’m supposed to respond.

I believe in the power prayer has and I thank you for them!

Praying for all of your intentions. Remember through it all, God loves you. He doesn’t give you anything to deal with that He & you can’t handle together. God bless.
 
O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that
thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men:
Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servant for whom
our prayers are offered. Remember her, O Lord, in mercy,
nourish her soul with patience, comfort her with a sense of
thy goodness, lift up thy countenance upon her, and give
her peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to thy
never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come,
knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we
can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Amen!

Those are beautiful prayers! I join in praying them for the original poster who has been through a great deal recently! And I join in praying with her for Justin, Zach, Jeff, Liberty and Kathleen. :gopray:

I’m also asking St. Matthew, the former tax collector, for his help and intercession with the op’s tax situation.
 
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.

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 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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Jlcgrant in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

praying for you and praying for God’s mercy for you and for you to have courage and perserverance.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
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

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
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 unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
I echo the sentiment of what a time you’ve had! Please do pick out a saint to befriend and help you carry this burden. They can pray increasingly to God on your behalf and help clarify God’s will for you, as well as give advice and be a shoulder to cry on. With so many troubles, perhaps St. Jude? I will pray that God gives you strength to carry these crosses as well as concrete help in dealing with them. God bless.
 
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.
 
Praying for you…

*O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen*

(Yes, this is an older prayer request, but I’m sure many of the problems still exist, and I would like for this person to get a bit more attention than they have.)

that never was it know that anyone

Amen.

I will pray a Rosary for you, OP.
 
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,

Amen.
