Please pray for me as I have fallen into depression and despair this past week.

My financial situation is dire and months on end of looking at an empty inbox/rejection after rejection every day is finally getting to me. I’m losing the will to work hard at anything anymore.

Some health problems have crept up and I’m terrified that I’m heading down the same path as a deceased parent.

I’m being plagued by nightmares and temptations-- terrible anxiety about how competitive things are with job-hunting and temptations to mortal sin.

On top of everything, I’m so lonely and isolated it hurts. And I’m afraid to reach out to anyone due to my dire situation.

I just can’t see a way out anymore…

I am a total stanger to you. I am not in your situation.
But my whole situation till recently was despair.
So, if it helps, live the moment: NOW and HERE.
Do not think about the past.
Do not think about the future.
do not think about “if…”; “if…”; “If I am like my relative…”. “If” leads nowhere and does not help.
Do not think about others and Society: it is God who takes care of them and you cannot do nothing about the Society.
Accept your feelings: “I am linely”; “I am sad”; “I am despaired”.
Do not not do snowballing: “I am sad because I am sad, I am despaired because of the sadness of being sad; and I am despaired because I am despaired like my relative…”
Remember that all you’ve got is the present.
The present is fine line between a past that does not exist to a future that does not exist.
That is a fine moment.
So, put all your enegy on the NOW and HERE.
The future belongs to GOD. He exists
We are Men of the possible things.
God is the God of the impossible.
 
I’m terribly sorry that you are going through all of this. I will pray right now for your depression, your health, your finances, and your loneliness.

Please do continue to reach out to us, and we will continue to pray for you.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths. - Prov 3:5-6, The Catholic Study Bible p751

I will offer this Friday mass for you. With no close relatives here in the U.S., personally I could say I know how God’s divine providence works. Have faith in Him. Even in trials… God’s love is there… I hope you would soon see the light at the end of your tunnel. Take care and God bless. - JDMA
 
I will offer today’s Chaplet of the 7 Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary for you, and will keep you in my prayers.

May our Lord help you to find a holy priest to be your spiritual director so he can offer you support. May you keep praying for God’s assistance and mercy, and be delivered from your present depression and financial crisis. May you persevere in a state of grace and find great strength and healing in the sacraments. May you keep reaching out to God and others for help in your great need. May our Lord give you strength, healing, courage and peace. 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
 
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.

Thank you all for your prayers…indeed, they have been answered. HE has provided; I got a call this afternoon for another project. Praise God!

*O God, of Whose mercies there is no number, and of Whose goodness the treasure is infinite; we render thanks to Your most gracious majesty for the gifts You have bestowed upon us, evermore beseeching Your clemency, that as You grant the petitions of them that ask You, You will never forsake them, but will prepare for the reward to come. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Never doubt that God is with you in the midst of the difficulties.

When you’re happy, he is there. When you’re sad he is there.

When you’re working, here is there and when you are not he is still there.

He will never leave your or forsake you.

My Lord, I lift up this depressed soul to you. I pray for peace and deliverance from financial difficulties.

Who can we trust but you.

Thank you Lord in advance.
 
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.
 
Well…never get too comfortable. The project just got put “on hold”…
yet another disappointment. I feel like such an idiot for being happy about it.

Please continue to pray for…I don’t even know what anymore.
I really don’t know how much more I can handle of this ‘up and down’
 
I am terribly sorry you are suffering in the ways that you are. I can’t even imagine, but I do know that it hurts. I know how much worse emotional pain can hurt than physical because it causes hope to recede. I will pray for you. I will pray that God comfort you. That He increase your hope and remove any despair. That he heal you of your physical ailments and grant you work. I will pray most of all that His will be done in your life.
 
O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.

St. Ignatius of Loyola
 
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.
