Hi all,

I been really struggling with my faith and questioning if there is a God. I’m really unsure. I often feel like I’m praying to a wall.

On top of that, I recently graduated from a very expensive private college and have been unable to find a job since graduating in December. I have applied to about 100 places and have yet to get an offer. I’m getting worried about burdening my parents and paying off my loans.

If you could please pray that God speaks to me and helps me with my job search, I would appreciate it.
 
Dear Lord it is very distressing to be unable to find work and to begin to lose hope.
Mother Mary you know well the difficulties of life. You were made pregnant before marriage in a culture where, if Joseph had not protected you, you would have been condemned to be stoned to death. Then late in pregnancy you were uprooted and had to travel over rough roads, but upon arrival, no accommodation was available so you had to take shelter in a stable and lay your Baby in an animal trough for a bed.

There was still no easy path, as you and your spouse and Child had to flee to Egypt to escape slaughter of the Child Jesus, and then you were in a foreign land with a foreign language, and again you and Joseph had to find shelter, and Joseph, work despite the language barrier.

There was another uprooting when the return to the Holy Land became possible…and your Son grew up and taught love and truth, while you heard the plotting against Him rising, and when he was arrested, and you saw Him again, your beloved Child had been tortured and was condemned to a cruel death as your stood and watched, helpless…
Life isn’t easy Mother Mary, even for the most holy who ever lived on the earth, but please intercede for AlyssaSky that like you she will have faith and perseverance, and that she will, in the end, find eternal joy and salvation.

Please intercede for her in her needs as you did for the hosts at the feast of Cana
 
My life is filled with many challenges – there are many changes going on around me–which seem to overwhelm me – many heartbreaks which seem more than I can bear. But even in the darkest of nights, I know You’re with me, though I cannot feel you there. I surrender my heart to You, my life to You. I give You all my disappointments, pain, and sufferings which You alone can understand. I unite my suffering with Yours; my heart with Your Sacred Heart. Please give me the strength to move forward, to persevere, and to boldly proclaim the victory in Your Name. You are the Light in the darkness, the reason I live and move, and have my being. You are the only Truth. You alone are the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, my Rock, my Shelter and Shield, my Strength and my Song, my Hope, my Eternal Love. There is nothing in this life that can compare to You. I will cling to You. I will consume You, for You are the Bread of Life. You give me sustenance to handle all my trials and to rise above them. You are my Counselor and my Comforter. You are the Resurrection and the Life, You are my God, my all in all. You are all that I shall ever want or need, now and forever. Amen.:signofcross:
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Lord, may AllyssaSky be sure to seek first your Kingdom and your righteousness … everything will be added unto her this way. If she already is seeking first your Kingdom and your righteousness, may she continue to persevere in faith and in every good work; may she never give into the least bit of despair. May she trust in you with total surrender. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
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.
