Hello everyone, I am new here. Could you please pray for me? I am so frightened that my apartment may have bedbugs. I found one bug and it was confirmed to be a bedbug by an exterminator. She said not to panic as I have only found one, she said it could have hitched a ride on me when I was in taxi earlier that day. I have not seen any others, nor any evidence there are others, but I am thoroughly terrified. Please, please, please pray for me that there was just one, and no others! :eek:
 
Dear friend, I know what it’s like to be afraid of pests. With me, it’s rodents. And there are all sorts of bugs that scare me – like roaches and millipedes. :eek: In any case, emelle, I’m praying for your peace of mind so that no matter what kind of pests are in your apartment, you will not be terrified of them.

**Our Lady of Mental Peace **

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility and
Mother of Hope,
look upon me in this time
of disquiet.

Still my restless spirit,
teach my searching heart to know
that God’s love for me
is unchanging and that the suffering
which He may will for me now
is to draw me closer to Him.

Let thy gentle peace and His —
which the world cannot give —
be always with me, that I may
be sanctified: and then:
I beseech thee
for the grace to bring this
peace to others.

Jesus, My Savior, I give myself
entirely to Thee through Mary:
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
pray for me!

Put the legs of your bed in bowls with a little vegetable oil or soapy water in the bottom to catch anyone who wants to climb up. Also, smear vaseline on your bed legs for extra assurance. In the meanwhile, look for another place to live.
 
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. :signofcross:

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. :signofcross:

Oh gee, what a fright indeed! Praying for you that you are bedbug free…
Mary.
 
:thumbsup:Check your skin for tiny red spots. Also, when you make your bed pull the seems and welting apart to see if you might have house guest. If you see tiny black spots then vacuum all the seams. that is probably a good idea to do regularly anyway because of dust mites that live in fabrics and rugs. I think that I read the east coast if a hotbed for,…bedbugs. Don’t be scared. They can pack their little bags, move in and reside in the finest and cleanest of home. Praying for you.

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.

Praying that you don’t have these awful bedbugs in your apartment and that God gives you a peace of mind in dealing with your situation.

God bless you!
 
Thank you all so much for your prayers, it means so much to me! 🙂 I am calmer than I was. I have no bites, no blood droplets on my sheets, my mattress and box-spring are completely clean, I have not seen any other bugs, and the double sided tape I put around my bed and furniture is still clean (the exterminator advised me to do this to know if there are in fact others).

I’m not afraid of the bugs, I am afraid of the side effects (or damage) caused by bedbugs I guess you could say. I’m afraid of the hassle, the cost of buying new things, the cost and hassle of staying in a hotel while my home is treated. And the possibility of them returning over and over again. I have severe allergies and I worry that if they have to spray I will become ill from the pesticides. I know there are heat treatments, which is what I’d prefer, but I feel my landlord would go with the cheaper (more toxic) option as he is the one who is required to pay for it.

I cannot move, my rent is very low, I don’t think I could find another apartment for this price unless it is in a very dangerous area. I’ve been living here for almost 20 years and felt so safe until now, it feels like my world has been turned upside down! :crying:

Thank you all again for all your prayers, I know they can help me! 🙂
 
From the Sermon on the Mount

*Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil (Matthew 6:34). *

These words, spoken by our Savior at the Sermon on the Mount, reflect his commandments on worry. So, don’t worry about what’s going to happen with the bed bugs. Whatever happens tomorrow, will happen. Just depend on God and his help to get through it when it comes.

A Prayer for Inner Peace

Lord, please put Your peace in my heart.
I’m worried and anxious.
My mind races and obsesses.
I can’t help thinking about my problems.
And the more I think about them,
the more depressed I become.
I feel like I’m sinking down in quicksand
and can’t get out.
Calm me, Lord.
Slow me down, put Your peace in my heart.

No matter what problem I have, Lord,
You are bigger,
You are more powerful than it is.
So I bring my problem to You.
I know what I want.
I know my will.
I do not know Yours.
I do not know how You will use this problem for my salvation.
I do not know what good You will workout from this evil.
But I trust You.
I trust Your goodness and Your wisdom.
So I place myself in Your hands.
Please fill my heart with peace.

Amen.

+++++++++++++++

Try to remain calm my friend. God bless you.

Thank you njlisa, I found this very comforting. 🙂
 
Still no signs of any tiny bloodsucking house-guests. My landlord is bringing in a bedbug sniffing dog. Please pray the dog doesn’t find anything!!! Thank you all for your prayers! 🙂
