I need some help overcoming certain sins…I am looking for a powerful intercessor that could help me and obtain for me all the graces that I need. I have pretty much narrowed my list down…Who do you think could help me the most?: St. Joseph, The Holy Souls, St. Padre Pio, or my Guardian Angel???

I have gotten out of the habit of praying…and I find that I worry too much and often times get depressed about it.

I noticed you didnt mention Our Lady.My Mother is my favorite.I just said you a Hail Mary.
 
In addition to a strong devotion to the Blessed Mother, I would suggest the Prayer to St. Joseph in the mornings: O St. Joseph, whose protection…

the holy souls are pretty powerful friends to make, if you pray for them once and help them even the tiniest bit they will pray for you till they see you safely in heaven, they are fantastic prayer intercessors, if you pray for them they will pray for you so eagerly that you’ll find your prayer petition gets granted real fast…
heres a website that shows you some favours others have obtained through the holy souls

As I was reading your question, my first thought was “Oh, Padre Pio, for sure!”, but then I got to the part of your question that said “could help me and obtain for me all the graces…” That is Our dear Blessed Mother, without a doubt! She has obtain **all graces **from her Son to distribute as she pleases. All devotion to Our Lady leads us directly to Christ. As any good mother should do, she leads us on a straight path to salvation. 👍

I don’t know…I feel kind of lost inside. Its awkward praying to Someone who I offend. When I pray I feel like I’m just talking to myself and that no one is listening. Whenever I go to Confession, I end up committing the same sins over again. I find that overcoming temptation is too hard so often times I don’t even try to avoid sin. I have a bad habit of thinking that everything I do is a mortal sin.

Ok first of all, I recommend doing spiritual readings on the love and mercy of God. I struggle with some of the same thoughts about feeling God is always offended by me, and when I pray he just gets angry. Those thoughts are just temptations. Also, it sounds like because you keep commiting the same types of sins over and over, your discouraged and you kind of just “give up.” This is also a temptation, the devil wants you to feel discouraged so that you stop praying and fighting against the sins. Secondly, there are lots of sins that become habits, almost addictions, thats why the bible says whoever sins becomes a slave to sin. The only way to fight this is to frequent the sacraments. I also believe that it sounds like you might also have a problem being to hard on yourself, you must remember God loves you so much, and is always pleased with the good that you do, and always hears your prayers when you are in a state of grace. I would recommend wearing a blessed/exorcised Saint Benedict medal. Please remember God loves you very very much, he does not want you to stop fighting against the sins you are struggling with. He will give you the grace to overcome them but you have to do your part as well, and avoid anything that could lead you into those sins, frequent the sacraments, and pray. Remember not to pray with the expectation of “feeling” something, feelings are decietful. Pray and trust that God hears you, loves you, and is pleased with you. Please also remember that when you go to confession you must have total trust and faith that Christ has forgiven you no matter how you feel. God knows your heart, keep fighting the good fight, keep going to confession, keep trusting in our Lord, he loves you very much.

P.S
You may want to find a good spiritual director, you could also be struggling with scrupulosity
