There is a person that I live with which is so unbearable that I dream endlessly about GREVIOUSLY sinning against them. I pray that God remove this person from my life, or me from theirs. It is not currently within my power to leave or I would have done so a LONG time ago. I try to forgive them for offenses and try not to commit offenses against them. (Sometimes I succeed, sometimes not-- on both accounts) They are prone to violent outbursts (not against me, but usually against others in our house ) and I am very tempted to respond similarly.

Today I prayed the chaplet of Divine Mercy, and I asked (among other things) for reconciliation because I thought that’s where the Holy Spirit was leading me, but I have no desire to be reconciled to this person of my own volition, and it was neither fun or easy to obey if it was indeed the Holy Spirit who was leading me and not just my imagination.

I do pray for this person, they have a lot of problems which cause them to act out, however their terrible behavior erodes any sympathy I might have had for their issues. I have a lot of anger and bitterness towards this person despite trying to let go of it and even when I succeed in forgiving an offense the anger doesn’t necessarily go away.

I am at the end of my rope with this situation and this person. Please pray for me, so that I can truly let go of this anger and bitterness for this person and be sincerely loving of this individual in the way that Christ calls me to. Please also pray for this person that they might let go of the troubles that weigh them down, and that they might come to Christ. Thank you. (Don’t worry about names, God knows who you’re praying for.)

Prayer for all who carry their Cross

O my God, I thank you for this cross you have allowed me to carry. Please give me the strength and faith to persevere so that I may bring glory to your name while withstanding the burden of its weight. Thank you for offering me a share in your suffering. I know that you have always been, are now, and every will be, at my side every step of the way. Thank you also for every “Simon” that you have sent to help me bear this cross. I have prayed so often that this thorn in my flesh would be removed, but I trust that your grace is sufficient. Change my heart’s troubled cry of --“How long, O Lord”, into words of trust: “However long, O Lord”. May I seek only to do your will and to unite my sufferings with your passion. Help me to not get lost in my own self concerns, but may I find in these trials a way to greater virtue, a call to prayer and a path to trust in you alone. Permit me not to waste my pain, but to make of these struggles a sacrificial offering for others. Lord, when I am weary and I fall, exhausted under the weight of this cross, please give me the courage to press on as you did. Lord Jesus, I embrace with love my cross, as a share in your own. By your grace, may I carry it all the way to the vision of your glory. I abandon myself totally to your will. Christ Jesus, I trust in you. Amen
 
Jesus please impart Your peace to the members of this household.

If Christ is within you, what the problem is?
Your mother is here. Listen to her first. She will teach and you will obey. Be humble and pray. Make a prayer ‘start’ and ‘end’ every single day. Constancy, is the first stone. Get passed it and it’s all good. Pray to your mother. Mary’s heart unites us to her Son’s. And with Jesus within us, there is no problems ever again. Not any!! For He is God, Almighty. 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 our death,
Amen.

If you can’t leave, why can’t they? Not knowing why you can’t leave makes it hard to respond, but really, even if it’s money reasons or a job, leave. There are safe houses.

I think sometimes we forget we can let people like this out of our lives. If we have tried everything in our power and it seems they will never change, then we must change and that might include us leaving the situation. Just like an abusive spouse, there is a limit to how much you can do for them. After sincere efforts fail it is time to move on.

I have lived through domestic violence as a child, I have worked with those who are victims of violence. Sometimes the best thing is simply getting out. What I would really like to see is a way for people to do this without so much difficulty and stress. We need better safe houses, more safe houses for men (yes men…they are just as victimized as women and report it less often), more counseling, education and financial aid for them so they can leave and become whole.

Sometimes the answer to our prayers is our taking action, not waiting for God to change the situation.
 
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 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.

Praying.:gopray2:

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 with 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 your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

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

I can’t leave because I have no where else to go, I would literally be homeless. I have 0$ I am thinking about selling my possessions to get some cash so I can get out of there. Also, I suggested that that person leave since they were obviously unhappy, that escalated to low-level violence.

Also, thank you everyone for your prayers, I don’t see any change in this person, but I was able to forgive them last night and I haven’t had much anger and no bitterness. I know this is due to prayer.
 
Praying that the Lord may continue to grant you strength and freedom from anger and bitterness. Also praying that the Lord may touch the heart of the person you mentioned.

as we forgive those who trespass against us.
