It’s not easy to ask for help, especially when I see children sick, parents and grandparents with cancer and martyred priests needing prayer requests. But I’m writing anyway. Last night I wrote to God and now I’ll give this forum a shot. Today I am depressed and praying and fighting my way out of it, because I thought I was pregnant but I’m not also, my mother died of cancer a little over a year ago - God wanted her. I know He is in control. Everything I ever prayed for, I believe I get and have gotten, in His own way. But, I can’t make sense of Him taking my mother so soon but this time I really have to trust. She was only 60 and healthy right to the end, but He wanted her. I’m an adult, I’m a mother and the Lord blessed with a supportive husband, a career that allows me to give me back to those in need and allow me to stay home with the greatest gift He has ever given me, our two year old healthy and advanced little girl that we prayed hard to finally have. As we are praying for another child, nothing is happening. Thus far nothing is medically wrong with me or my husband and yet I have an annoying pain in my side that doctors can’t figure out (fearing it’s cancer that my mother had, nothing was found in CT scans, ultrasounds or bloodwork - thank God). I am grateful that they say I am healthy. But for some reason we cannot conceive. We want to conceive and have made life a little less stressful and more relaxing these past few mos but it looks like it’s not time. Last night I thought I was pregnant, but it turns out that I am not. I am not getting any younger and I could use a prayer to conceive. Not being able to conceive, the pain in my side that I wish would go away (they think it’s a wheat allergy) and accepting life without my mother plagues me and brings me down, a prayer would help and I am trying to keep God in my heart for a better outlook. My support is my faith and my family, I love life with my husband and daughter and I would love to grow our family. Thanks for listening.
 
Prayed a Hail Mary for you.

I know, there are people who are going through what may seem like a harder time than you. However, in my experience at least, the weight of the crosses we have to carry is relative (unlike moral truths ;)). I too sometimes feel that I overreact to something, being depressed and all, that is nothing compared to what others go through. Nevertheless, that ‘sadness’ feeling might be the same in one who suffers from unrequieted love as it is in one who has lost a loved one. While externally the latter cross seems heavier, the weight of the cross carried by these two people might be the same.

Do not worry about whether you’re overreacting. Offer up your suffering as a penance ns find strength and comfort under the mantle of Our Lady at the foot of the Cross.

Hope I made sense 🙂 God bless

This is a great insight that I agree with. Take heart in this and don’t be ashamed to post here. God bless you.

This.
 
Merciful God please lovingly receive all the prayers in this mother’s heart for herself and for her family.
Please embrace her family and herself in Your healing love.
Please fulfil You loving will in the lives of this family, and if this includes abouth child please let it be so.
If not, please comfort her and her husband and help them to continue their lives with peace.

Mother Mary please pray for this mother, her needs, and the needs of her family.

Dear one, losing one’s mother is such a radical loss. Not being able to share your life and your daughter’s growing years with her grandmother is a very painful loss. May God comfort you. :grouphug:
 
Prayer to Conceive

O glorious Saint Gerard, powerful intercessor before God, and wonder worker of our day, I call upon you and seek your help. You who always fulfilled God’s will on earth, help me to do God’s holy will. Intercede with the Giver of life, from whom all parenthood proceeds, that I may conceive and raise children who will please God in this life, and be heirs to the kingdom of heaven. Amen.

Dear Lord,
Help me to remember in these troubled times
The cross you carried for my sake,
So that I may better carry mine
And to help others do the same,
As I offer up my troubles to you
For the conversion of sinners
For the forgiveness of sins
In reparation for sins
And for the salvation of souls. Amen
 
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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy 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

I just said a prayer to St. Gerard Majella for your intention. God bless you.
