I am ashamed to say, I haven’t been active on the CAF in a long time, and here I am asking for prayers. I just don’t know where to turn right now. I suffer from debilitating panic attacks and social anxiety and have recently had some health scares which have left me a nervous mess. I went for my first mammogram last week and got a call back today. The technician warned me that is not at all unusual for a first time patient, but I’m scared half out of my mind & won’t know more until Wednesday.

Due to my anxiety I don’t get to church often at all and long so much to get back to daily masses. I’m working very hard to get past my fears and to get back into social life, but I know very well I can’t do it alone.

So… for good test results, and for me to trust in Jesus and live my life despite being so afraid, please pray for me.

Thank you so much, may God bless you all!
 
(Lk 10:41-42)“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing.”

Lord,
We lift our intentions today for “Miss Echo”. Help her to continue to trust in Your divine providence and keep her strong in this time of anxiety and concern.

Amen

**Prayer to St. Dymphna

**Almighty and loving Father, by the example of St. Dymphna, Virgin and martyr, and by her intercession protect all those afflicted by tension and emotional stress, to enjoy your protection in life, and eternal happiness in your presence now and forever. Through Christ, our Lord, I ask. Amen.
 
Miss Echo

God bless you. You are safe in His arms in this place, where people are praying, even if they don’t type, and are praying as I know you have prayed for many others.
Praise God you have a computer and you can share with us, and we can pray for you.

I pray,

Lord Jesus, your little lamb Echo feels lost and in darkness. We ask that you take your loving arms and enfold her in Your Loving Embrace. Through this dark night, let her know that you are so close to her. I pray Lord, that you give her the strength to continue to ask for prayers, and to reach out, and in reaching out, pray for others as well. May her rooms where she lives become a cloister of Joy, until she has the strength to venture out and continue whatever Will you have for her.

In every room, fill O Lord, Angels to guide and protect her during this period of time, to allow little Echo to gain strength to return to the sacraments, thereby gaining more and more strength and closer to our Lord.

Saint Dymphna, stand with us and entreat our Lord for His Mercy and Love on his little lamb, Echo. Guardian Angel, inspire and protect your charge, and with the help of St. Michael the Archangel, keep any wolves far away from the door.

We ask this in the Precious Name of Jesus.
Amen.
 
You are included in my prayers. Find a good friend, relative, or counselor to talk this out. The more it’s in the open, the less effective panic is. Good luck and God bless.
 
Prayers your way. Out of all the sicknesses, anixety can be among the worst. People say, “Just get over it!” You want to tell them, “I’m trying! It’s not that easy!”

Praying for you dear one.
 
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.
 
May you be abandoned to the Lord’s merciful love full of confidence in his merciful love. May you trust completely in the Lord and pray a lot, hope a lot and not worry. Amen.
 
Thank you all so very much for your prayers and kind words - they mean the world to me! I am still anxious & battling panic attacks but I am more serene, and I think a lot of that comes from just knowing I am not alone.

God bless you all!
 
oh my dear. i will be praying for you. i was wondering maybe praying the rosary can help. part of meditation and keeping you calm while praying might be helpful. i will say a rosary for you today. God Bless, My Sister in Christ.

A PRAYER
FOR PEACE OF MIND
(By Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini)

FORTIFY me with the grace of Your Holy Spirit
and give Your peace to my soul
that I may be free from all needless anxiety,
solicitude and worry.
Help me to desire always
that which is pleasing and acceptable to You
so that Your will may be my will.
 
Most Holy Christ, look down upon your child with mercy and compassion, send upon her the Comforter, to calm her soul and renew her spirit in this time of great fear. Remove from her any and all worry and anxiety, so that no matter what the outcome of the tests may be, she knows that her life rests with you.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
 
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.
 
Dear Lord please wrap Your arms around this frightened girl.
Help her to know You are with her in this and in all the challenges she faces.
Mother Mary please give her your gentle care.

Accept the peace of God in your heart, even if your emotions say otherwise.

Hail Mother, 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.
 
Thank you again my brothers & sisters in Christ - your prayers made a huge difference in keeping me calm yesterday, for which I am SO grateful! Thanks be to God, my test results were free and clear of any problems whatsoever as well. (Still, I am saying some extra prayers for those whose results were not as good, may God sustain them, 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!
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit exults in God my saviour;
because He has looked upon His lowly handmaid.
Yes, from this day forward all generations will call me Blessed
for the Almighty has done great things for me.
Holy is His name,
and His mercy reaches from age to age for those who fear Him.
He has shown the power of His arm, He has routed the proud of heart.
He has pulled down princes from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
The hungry He has filled with good things, the rich sent empty away.
He has come to the help of Israel, His servant, mindful of His mercy
  • according to the promise He made to our ancestors -
    of His mercy to Abraham and to His descendants forever. Amen!***
