I want to pray a rosary but barely can do that. I’m having trouble with swallowing food and liquid and now choke a lot. Having surgery for that and last time in surgery, I stopped breathing. So, I’m scared. Plus, I hurt when I get on the computer and do menial tasks. I’m in severe pain everywhere particularly my neck and back. Lose my balance a lot. Still not getting much food and I can’t drink the water in my town without getting sick. But I still do because I don’t want to dehydrate. And can’t afford to buy water. I know I’m getting worse with my disabilities and stress. My landlord raised my rent which made it worse for me and for people in the park. Please pray for them too. It was hard to come here and type knowing I will suffer for it. But I need help! Thank you and God be with you all. Love, Sheila

PLEASE DO NOT SAY TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. Sorry for the caps. There isn’t any to be had in this town. Please don’t say that. I’ve tried numerous times and if you do, you will make me feel worse. There is none to be had. No help in a country town of 6,000. Thank you. God bless.
 
I just said a prayer for you and your friends at the park. God bless you.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Praying for the surgery to go well and for your situation to improve.
 
How I wish I could do something for you in addition to praying, but pray I will.

Remembering you and everyone at the park in my daily prayers. God bless, Sheila. :console:
 
Holy Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful,
give aid to all needing help or healing,
assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering,
be with those needing peace, console the lonely,
comfort the lost or hopeless, guard the unborn,
pray for those who are dying or who have died,
soften those with hardened hearts,
enlighten those who do not yet see truth,
help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go,
show us the way to do the right thing,
protect those who are in danger, and guide us from every evil;
may all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen.
 
Lord God, I pray for your divine guidance in this urgent situation. Let the Holy Spirit rain down and send comfort. Amen:angel1:
 
Dearest Sheila,

May the Lord bless you greatly.

As you carry this cross, remember that you are most powerful at this time in the cross that you have to offer to the Lord.

If you can pray for another at THIS time how unselfish and beautiful you are. How could the Lord resist granting your prayer for that other. Or those.

I do really hope you receive the things you are asking for for yourself too of course.

But it may cheer your heart to know that like St. Paul your strength is in your weakness.

As for the Rosary. Try to say it out loud (even a whisper but involve your whole body, count on your fingers etc.). I get distracted when I say the Rosary and “don’t finish” it sometimes.
When I meditate on the mystery and “lose count” - that is different. That is what is supposed to happen and is deeper prayer than the “get 'er done” task. I do say the rosary within myself silently – but when I at least whisper the words, however softly, and use either the beads or my fingers, that total involvement of my body in prayer seems much better.

As the sisters at my grade school told us long ago: “offer it up!” I mean sincerely (we kids sometimes used the saying cynically or comically as a Catholic inside joke as I remember it). But offering up a suffering is something we all can do.

May the Lord bless you through your surgery, guide your doctors, and may the experience
greatly benefit you in every way. Because you have shared your cross … my little crosses today don’t seem like much. Thank you for reaching out. It is humble of you too.

Your post reminded me of Jesus’ cross too. “I thirst!” and His falling. Pain everywhere He turned. The whole town against Him. Despite His pains, He thought of others around Him who needed help too. He was pierced. And not by people who were doing their best to try to heal Him - as you will be.

I say that as an encouragement to you. It is hard to stay positive when we are very ill.
We feel like we are less of a person at such times. A burden on others. And can wonder why people bother to help us. (That was me last time I was very sick - debilitated for about two months that seemed like 10 years).

But per God’s way of looking at things, YOU may be the sacrificial lamb that is able to free many other at present. If you can offer your fears, pain, illness, doubts and heartbreak to the Lord on behalf of others (pray for the poor souls in Purgatory who are even more helpless to help themselves for instance … by name if some come to mind) … this time may be one of Sheila’s most golden moments when at last you life is reviewed (like all of ours will one day be).

Cast your cares on Him. 🙂 And let us know the news about all this when you feel up to it my sister. :gopray2:
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled unto thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired with 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.

Lord Jesus, please fill my heart with Your divine peace.
For my spirit is worried and anxious,
and my mind races and obsesses in fear.
I cannot help dwelling on my problems,
and the more I think about them,
the more despondent I become.
I feel like I’m falling into a dark abyss,
from which there is no return.
Calm me, Lord.
Steady me, and fill my heart with Your divine grace.

Lord, no matter what problems I have,
You are greater,
You are more powerful.
So I bring my sorrow to You.
Though I know my own will,
I do not know Your will Lord,
nor do I know how You will use this despair for my salvation.
I am ignorant of what good You will bring forth from this burden.
But Lord Jesus, I trust in You.
I trust in Your goodness and Your wisdom.
So I place myself in Your calming hands.
Please fill my heart and soul with Your peace.
Amen!
 
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.
