My faith and prayer life is not very good and I’m dealing with severe depression that won’t let up. I did finally seek help, thanks to the priest who talked to me in confession. I’m on medication and am in therapy but the negative thoughts won’t go away. They won’t let up. It’s hard for me to pray and other than my therapist I have no one I’m comfortable enough to confide in. but I do not see my therapist until after the weekend. I think I really need some prayers, prayers for the strength to get through the weekend and to be completely honest with my therapist. No one else really knows how bad the depression is, but I’m such a mess and so scared. I wish I could feel that God is with me but I am just so alone. I want to get off this awful path of darkness, before it’s too late. 😦
 
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 death.
Amen.
I know how the negative thoughts can over power a person , I fight that too. When I start to get them I get on here to pray for others or grab a rosary and lose yourself in deep prayer…
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell, satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Tell your therapist exactly what you have told us. There may be another way of banishing those thoughts from your consciousness.

**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 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.

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 to the Holy Spirit to give you strength, guidance & direction.
 
Lord, please instill ever in the heart of HoldingGodsHand the graces for faith, hope, love, and joy. Spare a foretaste of heaven’s light into this soul’s life, that the dark paths of this fallen, distorted pilgrimage be clearly navigated toward the eternal banquet of life. Accept HoldingGodsHand’s every suffering and joy in life in union with your holy Passion. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.

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

I sincerely hope you feel better soon. Please try this prayer.

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.

By Saint Ignatius of Loyola
 
SALVE REGINA, Mater misericordiae. Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te Suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria.

V. Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genitrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit for infusion of wisdom and love. St. Michael decent us in battle.
