I pray tonight to God
to take away my fear and anxiety of being a good mother,
to show my patience when it comes to my husband and little one,
to grant me tolerence when it comes to others,
to give me self control so I don’t open another bottle of wine,
to realize that God loves me as I am and I do not need to be thinner,
That no matter how painful and lonely my life becomes, God holds every one of my tears in his hands and He will always be there to pick me up when I fall.

I don’t know if all this sounds selfish, that is not my intention, often I find that I am so concerned with everyone else that I forget about me. How can I be of any help to others when I’m falling apart on the inside.

Hi Amanda,

I am praying with you tonight. I remember a quotation from St. Therese of Lisieux - “For me, prayer is a surge of the heart, it is a simple look towards Heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” I think your prayers very much fit in with the prayers of St. Therese.

O Eternal Father, we look up to You this evening. Trusting in your love is our greatest joy and greatest challenge. Send your servant Amanda strengthening graces - for her own beautiful soul as well as for her family. Give her the sight so that she might see just a glimpse of how beautiful she really is. Warm her heart, and renew her mind and soul. Most of all, offer her rest in your love. We ask this through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns, forever and ever. 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 at the hour of our death. 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 tresspasses
as we forgive our tresspassers.
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
Lord your child Amanda needs you right now. Lord let her be filled with tranquility, peace , harmony and love and be happy. Lord let not any worry enter her mind. LORD GIVE HER A PEACEFUL MIND TRUSTING IN YOU IN EVERY WAY. LORD bless and heal her. LORD let her love for you grow stronger every day. Lord thanks, all the glory is for you, in Jesus’s name amen. AMANDA GOD LOVES YOU, YES HE DOES !, John
 
Lord please strengthen our dear friend physically, mentally— and in her soul may she have peace. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
 
Almighty and everlasting God, who by the cooperation of the Holy Spirit prepared the body and soul of the glorious Virgin-Mother Mary to be a fit dwelling for your Son, grant that we who rejoice in her memory may be freed by her kindly prayers both from present ills and from eternal death; through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Praying with a Bible verse from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Afternoon reading (None) 2 Timothy 1:9 ©
God has saved us and called us to be holy, not because of anything we ourselves have done but for his own purpose and by his own grace. This grace had already been granted to us, in Christ Jesus, before the beginning of time.
 
I will say a Rosary for you tonight, and keep you in my prayers.

It is easy to get tied up in the day to day things, but please, don’t take for granted the beautiful gifts God has blessed you with. I wish with all my heart that I had my husband back from Heaven, and my children are all grown up and don’t need me like they used to when they were little.
When they start to get to you, change your attitude and put a smile on your face. If you choose to keep looking at the negative, then that’s all your going to find. You may not be the easiest person in the world for them to live with either, but they still love you and want to be with you.
I am not trying to beat up on you, believe me, I have been where you are now. But I have learned much over the years, and the older I get the wiser I get. The things that I used to let get to me, or the things I thought were so important, none of that really mattered in the big scheme of things.
Be honest with yourself, and admit what it is that’s really bothering you. Your lack of patience with your husband and daughter is how you are trying to deal with it, but they aren’t the real problem, you just take it out on them.
There is an old saying, “People are generally as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
 
PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

GLORIA PATRI, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
 
I am so sorry for my above reply to you.

I must have become distracted when I answered the door and I think I forgot that I was in prayer requests, rather than a regular thread when I got back to the computer. I was out of line and wrong to answer you the way I did. Again, I am truly sorry.

I will keep you in my prayers, and say a Rosary for you while I am at Adoration. I wish only the best for you and your family.
 
armygirl: May God continue to bestow graces on you and may you always have you heart open to receive them from Him. Please know that I am praying for your intentions.

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.

Pax
 
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
 
Lord please strengthen our dear friend physically, mentally— and in her soul may she have peace. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
