I am currently experiencing a trial in which I am VERY anxious and VERY fearful. I am so consumed with these emotions that I feel overwhelmed. I try to trust in the Lord and accept this cross but it is making my life and those around me miserable.
Please help

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.
 
When I’ve been confronted with serious trials, and God knows, I have, I like to quietly reflect on the following prayer:

O God, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and
light riseth up in darkness for the godly: Grant me, in all
my doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what thou
wouldest have me to do, that the Spirit of wisdom may save
me from all false choices, and that in thy light I may see
light, and in thy straight path may not stumble; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

It may not necessarily be THAT prayer, but my humble suggestion is to find one that really resonates with you and reflect on it as often as possible in quiet meditation. Return to it when you doubt, and use it to help your trust and faith in God that all things do happen for a reason. Sometimes we don’t see the beauty of the trial until long after the judgement, but we can all have faith that the beauty will shine through.
 
Namaster’s suggestion was good.

I find it helpful reciting the caption that goes with the Divine Mercy Picture. “Jesus I trust in you.”
 
You can take peace in knowing that Jesus is with you through this struggle. He has given this situation to you for a reason. He can bring good from any evil. Clear your mind and pray, knowing that He is listening to you. Pray before you make any major decisions. Ask for guidance knowing That He is listening. With patience, try to take it a day at a time. God doesnt make mistakes, this situation is for you specifically. This situation will help sanctify you. Jesus, I trust in you.

When I was once in your situation, I prayed and opened the Bible at random and this is what came up -

“And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?” And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that** even wind and sea obey him**?” (Mark 4:36-41)

Trust in Jesus! 👍
 
When things are bothering me, I go to catholic doors and pray the chaplet of Our Lady Of Perpetual Help, and give it completely to God. I will pray for you now. For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Jesus we trust in you. Take care. Brenda
