I am going through some rough and uncertain events that are truly creating lots of anxiety. The uncertainty involves my job, my career, my home and my role in my children’s life. I am due to have some closure on these items by mid-September, (trial date awaits), so any prayers would be most welcome. Peace, g.
 
Hail Mary full of grace, the lord is with thee, blessed are you 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
 
Holy Spirit of God, come to the aid of our dear brother G. Give him comfort and remove his anxieties about his future. May he remain faithful and never lose his hope in our Lord. Give him the strength and grace he needs to continue to serve You with the gifts and talents You have bestowed upon him. We ask this in the most holy name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.

O God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Please Lord, protect and heal this person as he seeks to rebuild his life. Remove all anxiety, and anger… help him to move forward as a kind, happy, stable member of his family as well as your community.
 
In April, I was going through a lot of anxiety about my life as well. Worry and despair and sleepness nights, thinking somehow my worry was going to solve my problems. I was embarrassed by my dependence on my worry. I went on a retreat, with a little pink book (Searching for and Maintaining Peace, by Father Jacques Phillipe)

During the retreat (mostly silent) I finally received this from the Father, while in prayer, this scripture, and I think this will help you.

John 15
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Philippians 4:6-7
Don’t be anxious; instead, give thanks in all your prayers and petitions and make your requests known to God. And God’s peace which is beyond all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

My prayer for you is this:

Lord God, our Father, our Loving Father, take this man in your arms, as a loving Father, and let him know that he is loved and cared for. That you have amazing plans for him, that things may seem dark now, but even when all seems lost, it really isn’t… there’s something much bigger going on than we mere mortals can understand. I pray that this man opens his heart and will to you, so that whatever wonderful thing you have planned will be accepted with joy and with zeal. I pray that he abides with You, Lord, that he learns to trust you Lord in all things, and by Your Grace, persevere in all that you have planned for him. Make in his heart, a new creation, bright and strong and witnessing to Your Mercy and Love in all things.
 
May you be abandoned to the Lord’s merciful love full of confidence in his merciful love. May you pray ceaselessly for the graces you need to persevere in faith and in a state of grace, and live each moment in thanksgiving and praise. May this time of darkness and waiting be a time of growth and absolute trust in the Lord; may you unite your suffering to our Lord’s on the cross and offer it up for a good cause. May you suffer co-redemptively so your suffering will not be wasted and will not be done in vain. Amen.
 
May the peace of the Lord be with you and give you the faith to allow his will.

God bless and don’t worry He has a plan.
 
Praying for you from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Lord, support us as we pray,
protect us day and night,
so that we who under your guiding hand live in a world of change
may always draw strength from you,
with whom there is no shadow of alteration.
[We make our prayer] through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm; and may he lead us to eternal life.
AMEN
 
Loving God please protect and guide G in all these issues.
Please hear G’s prayers, and let all matters resolve in grace and peace, to the welfare of all aspects of family, work, soul, and life.
Lord we trust in Your merciful love.
 
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

“The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” Num 6:24-26

Praying…
 
My prayers are with you.

Come, Holy Spirit, and fill the
Hearts if your faithful, and enkindle
In us the fire of your love.

O God, who fills our lives with
the light of the Holy Spirit, grant
Us by the same Spirit to be truly wise and
ever to rejoice in his consolation. We ask
this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

:blessyou::
 
May God bless you and grant you reassurance.

Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
 
I cannot begin to tell you all how thankful I am for your prayers. I know that I have been very blessed and I am so grateful to our Lord for your posts. Not surprisingly I still have as much uncertainty as when I wrote my post, however my heart and/or mind have been changed and I have much more piece. May God continue to bless us! Peace, g.

I’m glad that you have peace. I will pray for relief of your uncertainty.

*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.*
 
Trust in the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures forever.

Father, give your servant steady ground to stand on, and reprieve from the storms of life. .
