Yesterday was brutal. I never throw these words around, but yesterday was enough to make me want to quit. I’ve had several days like yesterday in the last few months just strictly work-related (not counting struggles with family illness and busy schedules). I don’t throw these words around lightly b/c our family couldn’t afford for me to quit my job.

Long story short, I am bombing. There are some tasks that, try as I might, no matter how much time we’ve invested and out-of-town educational meetings we’ve had, I just can’t wrap my head around and give my boss the answers she needs. I’ve expressed this to her time and time again that I will hit so many road blocks before I’ll move on to something I DO know how to do. I am drowning and not able to keep up with my work and she knows that. I also happen to not be the only one feeling this way, but def. feeling like I’m the only one not giving her results despite the struggle. I’ve told her repeatedly that I’d like to give this part of my job to someone else (regionalize it like everything else), but this is not an option, esp. will continued layoffs.

I feel like a failure. I feel like a failure here, at home (can’t get our budget under control). I just don’t even try anymore. I feel like I’m not being honest and forthright, it’s easy to give up if something isn’t coming together quickly or easily enough.

Jesus, mercy.

A PRAYER
FOR INNER PEACE.

Lord, please put Your peace in my heart.
I’m worried and anxious.
My mind races and obsesses.
I can’t help thinking about my problems.
And the more I think about them,
the more depressed I become.
I feel like I’m sinking down in quicksand
and can’t get out.
Calm me, Lord.
Slow me down, put Your peace in my heart.

No matter what problem I have, Lord,
You are bigger,
You are more powerful than it is.
So I bring my problem to You.
I know what I want.
I know my will.
I do not know Yours.
I do not know how You will use this problem for my salvation.
I do not know what good You will work out from this evil.
But I trust You.
I trust Your goodness and Your wisdom.
So I place myself in Your hands.
Please fill my heart with peace.

Amen.
 
A Prayer to St. Jude

Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of.

Pray for Cecelia, who is so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of.

Come to her assistance in this great need that she may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all her necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly her job difficulties and that she may praise God with you and all the elect forever.

Amen

Mother of God,

and at the hour of our death
Amen.

You are not alone. We are all praying for you in your distress and we all care about you.
Much more important is the absolute fact that Jesus loves you and will support you through this difficult time. Turn to Him, if only to breathe His name in your heart. He shares your every thought and every pain - lean upon Him and His loving arms will uphold you.
God bless and protect you from all harm.:hug3:

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done.
on earth as is 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
 
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.
