I need strength

[joshrp]

I am feeling like I am going through hell right now and no one can help me. I need strength. Will anyone be able to comfort and lift me up, O Lord? I am at the end of my wits. If You want me to seek help from someone besides You, You need to make it clear to make who and for what. I cannot continue to go on alone in my struggling. But so many people have abused my trust and treated me without any dignity under the pretense that they were helping me. I don’t trust the works of Your hands, only Your hands, and I cannot see You in the people You send me, and thus I am far from Your love. I cannot handle this alone anymore. Either show me Your face or send someone to me who will love me in Your Name alone.

Amen.

 

[ColNY]

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine 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.

I pray you will find the help and consolation you need. Please know, you are not alone. Not all of the world is evil (even if it feels like everytime you turn, it is). Know that people care.

Lord, please put a holy priest in Joshua’s life for the support and spiritual guidance he needs. Mother Mary, I recommend Joshua to you. Please ease his suffering and help him. May he know that there are people who care about him including myself. We are here for him and want him to be joyful in the Lord. Please help him to carry this cross heroically. May he offer up his suffering co-redemptively and gain great merit this way. Amen.
