Please pray for me for mercy.

I’m 21 years old, and am experiencing apprehension. I sometimes have palpitations, and probably suffer from clinical depression or something like it.

I’m posting this not for a medical issue but because a have a strange feeling that I might die soon. Like from my heart stopping.

In my more depressed moments lately I often sin by praying for God to end my life (I have great trouble praying; I can’t concentrate, so most of my pray is during intense emotion pain), because I feel like the rest of my life will be painful, unfulfilling work and depression, which I might be able to suffer if I had a prayer life and could avoid mortal sin (masturbation and pornography). During these times I also feel a strong pain in my chest, like all the painful emotions are concentrated in my (broken) heart.

I feel like God might be answering my prayers. Please pray so that I overcome sloth, for my conversation, that He might absolve me of my mortal sins before my end, and for final perseverance for me, you, and everyone. Since I can’t bring myself to pray, please pray for me.

Thank you.

Christi pax,

Lucretius
 
I’ll pray for you as well. Have you been to talk to a priest? I would go for a good confession and a chat. Call your parish to schedule an appointment with a priest, that way he can spend some time with you and help you through your turmoil. I’d also ask him for a special blessing/ anointing. Consider asking to have your home blessed as well, or at the very least bring home some Holy water and sprinkle your home while praying. I’d also buy a scapular and wear it ALL THE TIME, have it blessed by the priest when you go to see him.

You may under spiritual attack, or you may just be depressed- but either way, seeking help from a priest would help!

God bless you!
 
You are so very loved! God is a million million more loving than the prodigal father who welcomed his sinful son gratefully back into his house. You need only seek His forgiveness. I have felt despair in my heart to the point of wishing God would take me. But I thought of His son, the most tangible expression of unconditional love, proving it on the cross. I thought of that and it gave me hope. He experienced all our possible pain so that we would know He can feel it with us.

I pray for your peace and for your understanding. Feel the prayers of others, too, here to pray for your needs. God is with you always.
 
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He leads me through green pastures, He lets me rest beside still waters.

Whether or not you leave this earth, my friend, it will be God’s plan. As your days, so shall your strength be; Deuteronomy 33:25

St. Dymphna, and all patrons of depression and heart problems, pray for this servant of God that he may find peace where ever God wants him to; and whenever. Holy Mary, mother of Sorrows, our Lady of Consolation and Perpetual Help, pray that your Son’s servant may find the grace necessary. Amen.
 
My most serious concern is for your thot life,
how the DEVIL is in control, making you feel
powerless, isolated and self-pitying, and I pray
that good thots and meaningful thots will come
to mind and may God send you angels in the
form of friends and relatives who will help ease
your greatest anxieties.

Our Father, who is in heaven,
Your Name be held holy,
Your kingdom come,
Your 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.
