My dear friends,
I don’t know what’s been happening to me recently. I need your most urgent prayers.
I’m so ashamed of myself that I don’t dare open any replies to my prayer requests anymore.
About 7 months ago, I had to go back to my country of citizenship to take care of my papers. I still have about 30 days to go in this place. For some strange reason, I am always deeply distressed here and struggle with strange, sinful fantasies, which promptly disappear whenever I leave the country. I’ll be going abroad in a month, but I’m so scared I won’t last that long. I feel disgusted with myself and I feel that these thoughts make me worthless as a human being; and they also make it difficult for me to sleep.
Due to the rarity of books/printed literature and the political situation, I just feel really trapped (can’t communicate with others) and each minute goes on forever.
My father has violent tendencies but it’s not possible to talk about it to others or call the police, since this is a Muslim society. Starting about 5 minutes ago, I started having non-stop thoughts of using my sexuality to “deal with him” (as a way to exert power/control, perhaps, I don’t know). I used to be happy being a teacher and writer abroad, but since people don’t like to read in this place, those who have lots of money are usually very boorish men who are not very educated. Women are valued more on their appearance than their intelligence; actually high intelligence tends to be a liability here. I feel like I’m slowly going mad, or degenerating into some sort of immoral creature without any specific reason.
My dad has threatened to sabotage my health forms if I don’t cooperate (I need to complete certain immunizations, tests etc. before leaving the country; my parents keep my past immunization records and we still need to get them translated by a notary and so on). I just feel that this way of life is so dehumanizing.
Last month some churches throughout the country were bombed, and every time I go to church there’s still lots of security. This creates an atmosphere of fear amongst Christians, doctors, mental health workers etc. so that even honest discussions are almost impossible. I’m so ashamed of myself.
I’ve tried to pray, but in the absence of constructive human interactions, I just can’t calm down enough to pray.
If it’s not too much to ask, can you please ask your local prayer groups/church communities to pray for me? I’m really scared for my life and for my sanity.
Please pray for my safety, peace of mind, faith, friendships and future. Thank you
 
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in 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 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 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard 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 cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Good Saint Dymphna, great wonder-worker in every affliction of mind and body, I humbly implore your powerful intercession with Jesus through Mary, the Health of the Sick, in my present need. (Mention it.) Saint Dymphna, martyr of purity, patroness of those who suffer with nervous and mental afflictions, beloved child of Jesus and Mary, pray to Them for me and obtain my request.

(Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be.)

Saint Dymphna, Virgin and Martyr, pray for us.
 
Saint Joseph, I venerate you as the gentle head of the Holy Family. The Holy Family was the scene of your life’s work in its origin, in its guidance, in its protection, in your labor for Jesus and Mary, and even in your death in their arms. You lived, moved, and acted in the loving company of Jesus and Mary. The inspired writer describes your life at Nazareth in only a few words: “And (Jesus) went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them” (Luke, 2:51). Yet these words tell of your high vocation here on earth, and the abundance of graces which filled your soul during those years spent in Nazareth.

Your family life at Nazareth was all radiant with the light of divine charity. There was an intimate union of heart and mind among the members of your Holy Family. There could not have been a closer bond than that uniting you to Jesus, your foster-Son and to Mary, your most loving wife. Jesus chose to fulfill toward you, His foster-father, all the duties of a faithful son, showing you every mark of honor and affection due to a parent. And Mary showed you all the signs of respect and love of a devoted wife. You responded to this love and veneration from Jesus and Mary with feelings of deepest love and respect. You had for Jesus a true fatherly love, enkindled and kept aglow in your heart by the Holy Spirit. And you could not cease to admire the workings of grace in Mary’s soul, and this admiration caused the holy love which you had consecrated to her on the day of your wedding grow stronger every day.

God has made you a heavenly patron of family life because you sanctified yourself as head of the Holy Family and thus by your beautiful example sanctified family life. How peacefully and happily the Holy Family rested under the care of your fatherly rule, even in the midst of trials. You were the protector, counselor, and consolation of the Holy Family in every need. And just as you were the model of piety, so you gave us by your zeal, your earnestness and devout trust in God’s providence, and especially by your love, the example of labor according to the Will of God. You cherished all the experiences common to family life and the sacred memories of the life, sufferings, and joys in the company of Jesus and Mary. Therefore the family is dear to you as the work of God, and it is of the highest importance in your eyes to promote the honor of God and the well-being of man. In your loving fatherliness and unfailing intercession you are the patron and intercessor of families, and you deserve a place in every home.

Saint Joseph, I thank God for your privilege of living in the Holy Family and being its head. As a token of your own gratitude to God, obtain God’s blessing upon my own family. Make our home the kingdom of Jesus and Mary – a kingdom of peace, of joy, and love.
 
I also pray for all Christian families. Your help is needed in our day when God’s enemy has directed his attack against the family in order to desecrate and destroy it. In the face of these evils, as patron of families, be pleased to help; and as of old, you arose to save the Child and His Mother, so today arise to protect the sanctity of the home. Make our homes sanctuaries of prayer, of love, of patient sacrifice, and of work. May they be modeled after your own at Nazareth. Remain with us with Jesus and Mary, so that by your help we may obey the commandments of God and of the Church; receive the holy sacraments of God and of the Church; live a life of prayer; and foster religious instruction in our homes. Grant that we may be reunited in God’s Kingdom and eternally live in the company of the Holy Family in heaven.
 
Michael, Michael of the morning,
Fresh chord of Heaven adorning,
Keep petitefleur safe today,
And in time of temptation
Drive the devil away.
Amen.

Angels of God, our Guardians dear,
To whom God’s love commits us here,
Ever this day be at our side,
To light, to guard, to rule, to guide.
Amen.

Dear Jesus, please help, bless and protect the OP and bring her safely back to a better environment soon. In Your name I humbly pray. Thank you in advance. Amen.

Our Lady, Help of Christians, please pray for the OP.
St. Joseph, Terror of demons, please pray for the OP.
St. Michael and all the Holy Angels, please pray for the OP
St. Dymphna, please pray for the OP.
Thank you.
Amen.
 
Child of God, do not give into these temptations. “And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

Lord, please use the holy spirit to touch this woman and provide the assistance she needs to take control of her life. Allow her to become free and move to a place where she may practice and worship you without fear. I ask this in your name, Jesus amen!
 
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 to 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 Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen
 
I’m praying for you. May God resolve your situation. May He give you peace of mind as well.
 
St. 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 thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking 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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
