I am feeling more hopeful again, thank you for your prayers. I wound up calling the Crisis Intervention Mental Health line last night and found the person I talked to was very reassuring, non-judgmental, and she helped me to sort out my mind.

Today I am dealing with the problem of this voice that I have followed for most of the last year and a half. It was very helpful at times, troublesome at others. Last night it was driving me insane.

I prayed to God for a voice to guide me, and he gave me one. I do not hear voices, this was a voice that came to me in my thoughts. So I prayed for Him to take it away now that I am more secure after my move from Florida.

In Timothy Paul says that if you ask the Lord for an answer to something He will give it, but you should be sure to follow it. So I asked Him if this voice was Him and he said no, which gave me immense relief, as I had been confused about who was talking to me and kept trying to speculate about it. I have sorted it out now in my mind but I am left wondering where to go for guidance and also the lingering habit of the voice in my mind is troubling me at times.

I also asked the Lord if I was “called,” something else that has been troublesome to me, and He said Yes, which was also very reassuring.

I prayed for a less frightening way to be guided, if you would pray for me also I would appreciate it. I was walking in step with this voice and following its every command, and it offen was contradictory so I was very puzzled a lot of the time although I felt secure when in real trouble.

Please pray for me also that I find a safe and inexpensive apartment in the location I have chosen and that I will find appropriate psychiatric and other health care there, which I haven’t been able to secure in my present location.
 
Dearest Mouse333~

I am so glad you were able to summon the courage to call the help line and that there was a caring, compassionate person there to help you sort out some of the things that have been weighing on your mind. As someone who has suffered with mental health issues most of my life, I know how difficult that phone call can be to make. I will continue to keep you in my prayers…The prayer below has helped me through some difficult days…Perhaps it will for you as well!

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility and
Mother of Hope,
look upon me in this time
of disquiet and weakness.
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!
Amen
 
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.

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 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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
 
St. Benedict pray for us
I also pray that you find a priest for spiritual guidance

St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle,
be our protection against the snares and
wickedness of the devil. May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray, o prince of heavenly host, by
the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all
the evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
