:crying: SAD, SAD, SAD DAY FOR ME AND AMERICA. SHAKING MY HEAD. I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND :crying:

:banghead:
 
Praying from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Psalm 124 (125)
The Lord guards his people

Those who trust in the Lord are like the mountain of Sion:
it cannot be shaken, it will stand firm for ever.

Jerusalem – the mountains stand guard over it,
and the Lord stands guard over his people,
both now and for ever.
The sceptre of the wicked shall not rest
upon the inheritance of the just;
lest the just themselves stretch out their hands
and turn to wickedness.

Be good, O Lord, to the good
and the upright of heart.
As for those who turn away to crooked paths,
the Lord shall treat them like the doers of evil.
Peace be on Israel!

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.
 
My prayers will be with you – that somehow your needs will be met that you may not be in debt and on the verge of homelessness. May God open doors for you.

May He help you to find friends who are close to God and not need to rely on men to take care of you for the road leads so often to even deeper despair – as I have talked to many recently.

He is the light… the world is darkness. He is full of lovingkindness, the enemy lies and says, “Has God said?” As Job and others have suffered, pat answers do NOT usually help.

The point is… satan cannot allow these losses unless God allows, and the question is, will you continue to trust in His lovingkindness; ask his forgiveness when you sin, and TRUST that He accepts you as His child! I have a little book, “God Is In Control.” I went through such a time of loss. I grieve for you.

Please read the Scriptures and gradually as David mourned, cried, the loss of Saul and Jonathan and was chased about and dwelt in caves… He came to rejoice in his heart in God’s lovingkindness, that one day He would be able to praise God for answering.

Thank you for asking for prayer, dear one!

With Christ’s love, with a hug and wish to comfort you for your many losses and pain,
Elaine please grab on to a few verses of promise!

PS remember – faith is in His faithfulness, not your feelings alone; in such losses, feelings are mixed up in past losses and patterns… He allowed the dark night of the Soul for me to chose trust in His faithfulness. Oh that you will seek God foremost as other things are seemingly stripped… that He may provide and you run to him with open arms knowing the Heavenly Father’s great love! This applies to 1000s of Americans who had some upbringing about God… and are at various stages in their lives. I feel so for you, dear one!!:banghead: :angel1: :blessyou: :bible1: :gopray2:
 
I don’t understand either-I could get wrapped up in rage but it wouldn’t do any good-even tho I have raged already a few times today-sad day 😦

hugs to you please take care and pm me anytime as well!
 
I think I need to be added to the list of fallen away catholic members and for a conversion of the soul…I give up. I give up on praying…I am convinced he just isn’t with me anymore…I give up on praying for a job that i’m never going to find…he obviuosly wants me to live on the streets…nothing is happening and the 15th is rapidly approaching… I give up on praying for a partner to go through life with…he obviously wants me to be alone… I give up on everything. I give up on humanity…good vs. evil…who really prevails? I give up on always being the better person…I give up on always doing the right thing…I give up on the statement that god does not giving you more than you can handle because that really isn’t true either. FOR MONTHS IVE BEEN ON MY HANDS AND KNEES…Oh, and the one door closes and another DOOR opens isn’t true either…huh? ATLEAST NOT FOR ME…so I give up on that too. I am thoroughly convinced I am here to suffer…my suffering is probably so that some heathen can live a wonderful happy life worth celebrating while he drives his mercedes benz. I’m done with the Novenas…done with the prayers to St. Jude…done with the Rosary…done with church…done with the eucharist…I give up.

I live in an evil world. I guess that saying if you can’t beat them then join them must go into effect.

I never knew god could be so cruel.

So much for trying to have hope…trying to believe…trying to have faith.

I think he lost me somewhere down the line.
 
Praying for you! I see you live near where I grew up, in the same area my wife is from. There are many parishes there; surely someone can help? I will pray that you be led to someone who will assist you in the Lord’s name.

Ward, I think this is a great idea, and I would definitely contribute.

I am going to send a PM to JLNY and see if she would like you or I to coordinate something like this.

In the meantime, friends, please continue in prayer! :gopray:
 
Praying that our Heavenly Father will intervene and also give you faith and the peace that passes all understanding.Keep us informed so we can rejoice with you.:signofcross:
 
Hail Mary,

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
 
Dear Lord Jesus,

Send down some of your angels to comfort JustLooking and to help her find a job. Open up some doors of hope and let her experience your wonderful graces that she hasn’t felt for a long time. Remind her of the goodness and love of her spiritual family on CAF who are interceding on her behalf so that she may have strength to persevere in faith and prayer and get the job she is so desperately seeking.

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

I am asking anyone out there reading this to kindly take a brief moment to say a quick prayer for me. - I will personaly return the prayers to each of you, including your families, to those of you who have the kindness to respond!! :o I personally promise!!

I am unemployed. I don’t have family and there is noone that can help me. I don’t have medical insurance and I have health issues that require attention. I do not have a husband or a boyfriend to support me emotionally or financially. I do not have friends that I can really turn to at this time for support. My unemployment insurance is about to expire and I have very little money in the bank. I can’t seem to find a job despite all my efforts. I will not qualify for welfare without a child or dependant…I will owe taxes on the unemployment I have received…my car insurance is due and I dont have the money for it. There have heard from agencies that there is an average of 250 applicants for each job available right now and positions are sparse. I mean, its really bad.

My prayers are increasing but Im having trouble keeping faith and my faith is waivering. Fear and terror are close to consuming me. I feel like I need an absolute miracle. I think I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I just need a job so that I can support myself and keep a roof over my head. Forget prosper and be happy…I don’t want to be homeless. I feel like all I can do is pray. My life has just fallen apart…It’s just me and god and a temporary roof over my head, phone hasnt been shut off yet, so I still have internet which I am taking advantage of to ask as many people possible for their help.

I am desperate alone and afraid…please pray for me and others who are experiencing this turmoil right now. Thank you and god bless.

Praying for you

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 trepasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory, forever and ever. Amen
 
Thank you all for still standing beside me. Even when I have fallen. I’m sorry I have been having such difficult days. I can’t seem to find comfort and can’t feel his presence. I know I need to have faith…I pray for that…but some days I just get angry, feel lost and feel like I have given up all hope…Hence my post from the other day.

It is the 11th, my bills are due again. Anxiety consumes me. My rent, my phone, my car registration, the car insurance…where is it coming from?..My savings is depleated. I am trying to hang on, but its just getting so hard and all this time I have on my hands…idle alone time…its just not healthy for me. He is supposed to help those that help themselves…but what more can I do?

I am waiting on the RE license. I will see if this can get me somewhere. I had an interview scheduled for this week and i was really excited, but then they called back to cancel the interview, saying they already hired someone. GRRRRRR :mad: Did I mention they scheduled the interview on a SUNDAY via phone? So they must have hired someone today??? And called to cancel interview today?! i don’t get it. I still have medical issues that need to be addressed and no medical insurance to have them looked at. (Maybe Obama will pull through on that promise…hmmmm)

I just wanted to say thank you for the continued prayers and support. I find a lot of love on here that I don’t get to witness or experience in my harsh little world…I know I said I wasn’t going to be praying anymore…but I lied. So I have to get to confession yet again this weekend 😦 I hope he’s not mad at me for being so unstable. Im trying to be more faithfull.

God bless all of you for continuing to support me through this very, very difficult time. I love you all. :grouphug:

Most holy Apostle. St. Jude, friend of Jesus, I place myself in your care at this difficult time. Pray for me; help me know that I need not face my troubles alone. Please join me in my need, asking God to send me consolation in my sorrow, courage in my fear, and healing in the midst of my suffering. ask our loving God to fill me with the grace to accept whatever may lie ahead for me and my loved ones, and to strengthen my faith in God’s healing power. Thank you, Saint Jude, for the promise of hope to others as it has been given to me. Amen

Since you talked about having time on your hands… is there any place you could volunteer? I know you sound like the last person who can do this, as you need so much yourself, but maybe this could turn into your answer. At least you would have something positive to do.

try the 30 days prayer to st joseph
