PrayForMe

Guest
Hi,

I ask you all kindly for your prayers. Firstly, I ask you to pray that none of my family members, friends, or co-workers come down with COVID-19. I am experiencing much anxiety during this time worrying if any of them will catch it. There is one good friend I am particularly concerned about because she smokes cigarettes. I’m worried how she’d fare if she caught the virus. If something happened to her or my parents, it would shatter me into a million pieces. So PLEASE pray that doesn’t happen, and that my friend and everyone else in my life stay safe.

I also ask you to please take the time to pray for me. I am suffering from both depression and anxiety during these stressful times - though unlike many who are depressed, I am not so much lamenting my own situation as I am the current state of life collectively. I have been very blessed thus far - I still have a job that I love and my job security is pretty solid. I also do not know anyone personally who has fallen ill with the virus thus far. Still, I DO know people who have lost loved ones to the virus, and that, combined with the negative affects of the isolation I’m experiencing from social distancing, has caused me to suffer from situational depression (this is not the first time I have dealt with depression, but this depression feels particularly bad compared to previous episodes I’ve suffered thru).

I’m not going to lie: I am currently in no danger of harming myself, but there have been days during this when I have suffered from suicidal thoughts. I will not act on them because I know better and am fully aware of the Church’s teachings on the matter. I’m not entirely sure why I’m experiencing such thoughts. But I need your prayers. I’m hurting emotionally, largely because my heart breaks for the people I know who have been impacted by this in some way (lost job, lost a loved one, etc.). Being separated from everyone also deeply hurts.

Please pray, thank you.

Praying for you especially in this dark times that you may see the light of Christ even in small things.

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.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
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.

Praying that Our Lady surrounds you and loved ones with Her protective love
 
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.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,

Mother of Tranquility

unchangeable, and, that

true human love can only

begin and grow by touching

His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -

which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
And, help her to bring this

same Peace into the lives

of others.

Our Lady of Mental Peace,

Prayer Against Depression

………….By St Ignatius of Loyola

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.

Amen.

†

Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,

Let nothing frighten you,

All things are passing away:

God never changes.

Patience,

Obtains all things,

Whoever has God

Lacks nothing:

God alone suffices.

Santa Teresa de Jesús

(Santa Teresa de Ávila)

Everyone, the friend I referenced in my original post was around someone whose child just tested positive for COVID… PLEASE pray she doesn’t get sick, and if she does, pray she‘ll be okay!

Also, a coworker of mine may have been exposed, please pray for him and his family. Thank you.

For All Those Depressed, Anxious, Afraid, Lonely and Sick Prayer Intentions
Hymns are by nature always powerful prayers for healing and spiritual growth, regardless of who sings or performs them. The playlist, music and order have been carefully chosen. Maybe this will help us remember “we’re all in this (pandemic) together”, as they say. And, yet, it also speaks to how we all really feel grateful about life under God’s Glorious creation. Listening to these hymns has always helped me generate an increase in faith, hope and love of life. Perhaps because, “when we s…
