i really need prayer right now. i have been through 8 years of financial loss in the stock market, equity loss in the home i had owned by myself since 1989, and physical loss since i broke my ankle/leg in 3 places in 2011. i have managed to keep my home by moving in with my son and daughter-in-law and caring for my grandson which was fine until i broke 3 bones in my ankle/leg going down the stairs in the house where we lived. i then lost the rest of the savings i had to pay bills and felt unwanted living with them as i could not take care of my grandson while i was recuperating. i went into a deep depression, but once i was released from the doctor i managed to find work after not working for over 10 years. the job was only seasonal, but 2 months later i found another job and i will have my 2 year anniversary the end of march. it has not been easy because i have endured a lot of pain working because i have to stand on my feet all day.
however, right now i need prayer to make a big decision. the prices in the market where my house is have risen enough i am thinking of selling my house. i got caught up in all the bills i got behind on when i broke my ankle/let except for one credit card. i have never been in debt collection before, and it is not fun. my house is rented and i cannot afford the mortgage without the tenants living there while it is on the market. i need to decide if i should list it this upcoming week and then pray that it sells. their lease is up the end of march. if it sells, i could pay off the mortgage, the commission, offer a settlement on the debt they are calling for and pay off two other cards. i am going to be 62. i would be left with a little bit if i can get what i want for the house. it just seems like for so many years after the loss of my parents and divorce, i managed to keep my head above water and be financially responsible. i just have this overwhelming feeling that my life has been a total failure and after thinking i had made good decisions and been financially responsible, i have still lost everything and still could. i feel like i am in over my head and haven’t been able to feel a lot of joy in life for the past 7 years. please pray that i can sense what God wants me to do right now. i don’t have any savings left and live paycheck to paycheck.
so if my tenants continue to lease the house, if anything big happens not covered by the home warranty, i don’t have the cash to fix it. my tenants like the house. i wish i could move back there, but i do not have the funds to move back and find a job quickly without getting behind in mortgage payments again and i don’t want to do that.

i need prayer . . .

thank you.

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 art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in 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 shall be, world without end. Amen.

praying for you

also, your life is not a failure. Christ doen’st look at how much money we made of what kind of living arrangements you have, all of that is irrelevant. he looks at how you loved him by loving others and doing your best to avoid sin

our life is not in this world anyways
 
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.

God bless you, I felt very touched reading your post. I am so sorry you have to work at a job where you are in pain. I pray that your situation will soon improve so that you can have peace of mind.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do 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

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.

Praying that the Lord may mercifully strengthen you and guide you in this matter. Also praying for all necessary graces for you.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
 
St. 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 thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen…
 
thank you all.

it will all come together or all fall apart. i really do need spiritual and emotional and mental strength to get through this.

i used to be a very independent person and since i broke my leg, i was dealt so many blows from so many directions i just fell apart i think. my self confidence was gone.

i will keep you posted and post some updates over the weekend.

i need to know that God has a plan and He will help me get through this.
 
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.

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 said I would post an update to my situation. My house has not sold yet. It can only remain on the market one more week. I passed my 2nd year anniversary at my job.
Feeling very overwhelmed and haven’t been able to really appreciate this lenten season.
There was a time I was financially secure and I could donate to my favorite charities. I cannot do that anymore.
 
Lord Jesus Christ, I have experienced the misfortune of failing in some enterprise, and I am overwhelmed by it. Please grant me your grace in this difficult time. Let me realize that no one who uses all his talents ever fails in your eyes. In addition, assist me to see that You utilize our failures to make us grow into better persons and more devoted followers of You. Make me recall that everything good comes from You, indicating that I must work as if everything depended on me but pray as if it all depended on You. Then if failure comes, there is a reason for it. Help me to seek and find that reason and live in accord with it. Amen.
