In need of a rescue

I’ve been feeling incredibly overwhelmed lately by everything - my job, student loan debt, and recently I was blind-sided by a separation (breakup) from a woman I had been seeing for about six months. All of this has led to intense bouts of paralysing anxiety. I’m 48 years old and I’m afraid that I’m going to spend the rest of my life alone and working until the day I drop dead in order to pay off my debt. I’m super lonely and I hardly have anybody to talk to. Nobody calls me. I pray every night for God to take me in my sleep because I just can’t face life alone anymore - It’s too scary. I’ve been crying a lot, and I can hardly function at work. Please, please pray for me. I’m suffering so badly, and I need God to rescue me from these circumstances.

Thank 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.

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 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.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (SunDisc), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

PRAYER IN A TIME OF TRIBULATION

O Lord, hear my cry pouring out from a troubled heart. The sorrow which clutches at my soul has driven me to You my protector, my True Friend in time of need. You know, my God, all my failings, my faults and my sins as well as the torment gripping my soul. My greatest sorrow should be for my disregard of Your holy commandments in the past, and I sincerely hope that you will grant me the grace of true contrition. O my Savior, hide not Your Face from me in this tribulation, let the light of Your Countenance shine upon me that I may be illuminated by Its love. If it be Your will, lighten this burden from me, yet should it be a means of my salvation, help me, help me O Lord, to carry this cross, for alone I can do nothing. Radiate Your love upon Your prodigal child O Lord, this beggar who knocks at Your door seeking shelter in Your Sacred Heart; this once proud earthen vessel made of clay seeks You, O Christ, and in a newly found faith, firmly believes that you will receive him in Your limitless Love and Mercy. Amen.

Praying for you. You are not alone. Jesus loves you. Perhaps the Lord will send someone better for you into your life.

Philippians 4:6-7 : Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Dear friend in Christ,

I’m so sorry to hear about what you’re going through. I know there’s not much I can do from behind a keyboard, but I wanted you to know that you are NOT alone. I hit rock bottom back in 2008. I went through a disastrous break-up, which led my ex to steal my identity and ruining my credit and almost my entire life. I had no savings, no friends, my family was 3,000 miles away on the East coast, I had a nightmare of a job and a tyrant of a boss. I was 28. I honestly thought my life was over, because with all the pain I was going through, I couldn’t see the light. I fell away from the church for a while. I had to file bankruptcy because that was the only way to clean up my credit, even though the “mess” wasn’t my fault.

But, I wasn’t alone. No matter how badly I wanted to give up on everything, something kept me going. Something gave me the willpower to not give up, to face the “darkness” and to fight for my life. Long story short, I pulled myself together, cleaned up my credit, went back to school, and out of nowhere, I met my future wife. I mean seriously, I didn’t have a penny to my name, so I figured who in their right mind would want me, right?!? Now, we’ve been married for 3 years this month and my FICO is now in the mid 700s. I’m still not out of the woods yet because I have student loans. But little by little, they’ll get paid off.

Point being my friend, I’ve learned that there’s a difference between our time and God’s time. But I also learned that God loves all of us, and no matter how alone or how abandoned we feel, God is there. Besides going to weekly, mass, I try to make it a habit of saying the rosary, reciting the Guardian Angel prayer, asking St. Jude and St. Anthony for their intercessions, and recite the St. Michael prayer to keep evil away from me.

I still have a long way to go and I’m not out of the woods yet, but I’m in a MUCH better place than where I was 10 years ago. If God is able to help me get back on my feet, He can help you too! He loves you so much, more than you can possibly imagine. So don’t despair my friend. Ask God for strength and you will not be abandoned.

Take care and God bless!
 
Hey, thanks for posting, I am grateful to you because I suffer with a list of stuff that we won’t get into.
We are brothers in this regard, and we are brothers with Christ, who suffered everything we suffer, and worse. When I am suffering I go to the cross in my heart and bleed with him, alongside his mother. And I think of others I know, who are dying, or enduring cancer, or abuse of some kind, and I offer my suffering with them and with Christ. Jesus have mercy on us.

I also must admit, my last debilitating depression, I went to my family MD doctor. And talking with her in a matter of fact way helped relieve my burden almost immediately. Doctors see depression literally every day. You are not accursed. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Depression has a physical component that sometimes you cannot do a thing about. It requires treatment. Do not be afraid to reach out. Like you did here. You will be glad you did.

Christ be with us my brother. He is risen, and the sun will come out for you. Hope in him.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
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.

God, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, Your only-begotten Son, I beg You to have mercy on the person this post is for in this their hour of need and to hear my prayer for their intentions. Through the same Christ our Lord. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.
