Please pray for me. I have 7 kids ages 13,11,9,6,4,2 and 6 month. The baby won’t sleep very well at night and the 2 year old is up at 7 am sharp. I already at 37 years old have arthritis. I need a total hip replacement and have that surgery looming over my head. I am jealous of others with nice houses and disposable income. I feel our home is in constant chaos with someone always wanting something from me or yelling or hitting a sibling. I feel like such a bad mom. My husband is not very helpful. I know he is overwhelmed with his own stressful job and long commute. I know this will pass but I am having such a hard time right now and no one who I can talk to. Prayers and supportive words would be greatly appreciated!
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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.
 
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.
 
Praying for you! One day at a time:

Oh my God, You know Cathmomof6’s needs, and what she can accomplish for the good of souls with Your help, her own and others’. Grant her, therefore, the help of Your grace. Grant it according to her particular needs this day. Enable her to see the task You will set before her in the daily routine of her life, and help her as she works hard at her appointed tasks. Teach her to bear patiently all the trials of suffering or failure that may come to her today. Amen.

Oh, where have I heard this before…from my own Mother, of course! She also was overwhelmed with 11 children. My father worked hard, from dawn to dusk and often later as he was a farmer. Most of the time he was so tired that he fell asleep almost as soon as he got home. I know where you are coming from and I feel for you. I will pray for you that things get better. Know that you are a Godly Mother.
 
I know exactly how you feel. I’ll keep you in my prayers and beg you to pray for me also!

Prayer for the Overwhelmed

Dear Lord,

I pray for women, mothers, wives, who feel overwhelmed. Life can be chaotic and messy, but you give us the strength to endure. You give us the wisdom to navigate. You give us your Holy Spirit as a comforter. You give us encouragement along the way. I pray that we can take time to be still and trust in you. May you relieve our fears, anxieties and insecurities. Slow our minds and fill our hearts with peace as we look to you, the anchor of our lives. Thank you Lord for being our Rock and our Redeemer! I pray that no matter how messy life gets, we remember to keep our eyes focused on you…in Jesus name 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.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular, Cathmomof6, and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen
 
Single mom here, though only one child, living in a very small room. I hear you and I see why you’re overwhelmed. “This too shall pass”, sure, nevertheless I’m praying hard for you. Hang on, we’re here.
 
:gopray2:

God, help us to see the good in those who make us so
unhappy. Help us to be as generous as You are. Replace
hostility with love and understanding. Help us search our
hearts and be honest about our faults. Give us the
happiness that families are meant to know.
Amen

Almighty God and Father, help Cathmomof6’s family and all families to
live like the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, united in respect
and love.
Teach us through them the sanctity of human love, the value of
family life and the way to live in peace with all, that we may share
Your love and Your life for ever.
Amen

Heavenly Father, You are the great physician.
Cathmomof6 turns to You in her sickness and asks
for Your healing. Put Your hand upon her and let health
and wholeness flow into her. Help her remember, in this
time of vulnerability, her utter dependence on You.
She commits herself to Your loving arms.
Amen
 
Dear Cathmomof7, I have never been blessed with the responsibility and duty of being a mother. But I have faced chronic pain and disabilities. They touch every aspect of my life. So I can understand a bit of your struggle. I pray that your difficulties smooth out soon. God bless you.

A Prayer to Heal Stress

Heavenly Father, please grant Cathmom peace of mind and calm her troubled heart. Give her the strength to deal with her health and financial struggles. We trust You, God, and know that You will help her with this stress. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility and
Mother of Hope,
look upon me in this time
of disquiet.

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!

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
