Hello Everybody :o

I’ve had enough with the way life has been for months and months since I began to suffer from depression/anxiety disorders among other things. I have almost completely lost my Catholic faith since I see no evidence or reason for it, and now see myself as more of an evangelicaly-type Christian. I thought rejecting Catholicism would bring an end to a lot of my problems, but things seem to be getting worse now. My prayer life and zeal for God have almost disapeared, and I’m wondering if God even cares or listens to my prayers. It’s a horrible thing whenever you want to love and please God but can’t for whatever reason. I’m 15 years old now and I am very different from others my age. I want to live a good,clean and holy life filled with happiness, family, friends and God, but I’m being told so mant differenet things now that I don’t what the truth is anyomre. I’m tired of listening to a human ponit of view, I want to know God’s truth. I’ve always been a deep thinker but this has caused a lot of my mental, emotional and spiritual sufferings. If you have never experienced what I’m going through, then you don’t understand how horrible this is.

I know there are millions of people worldwide with far bigger problems, and I pray that Christ will be there for all of them, but I really am at the end of my strength now. I’ve felt suicidal a few times recently and I thank God I’m still here, but for what purpose and why, I don’t know. Things are tough at school; I can’t think straight or concentrate because of my disacossiation, and I’ve drifted away from many of my friends. I often feel lonely, frustrated, anxious and confused.

I can’t tell my friends any of this, because no-one seems to understand. My parents, God bless them, have been extremely loving and supportive of me during this very difficult time, but they don’t undertand fully either. I’m on medication now and am seeing a pshychologist. But this is really hard and I dont know what to do. My mental breakdowns,anxiety attacks and crying fits are getting more frequent and horrible. I feel God has abondoned me and the world just seems hopeless. Please pray for me, as only God can help me now. I know the lovely Christians here on CAF will help me, but I can’t see myself coming back to Catholicism. I don’t deserve to be prayed for, as there are billions of people suffering far worse in the world, but what can I do to help them apart from pray? :confused:

Your precious prayers would mean the world to me now :gopray2:

With love in Christ,
Shane
:blessyou:
 
Praying hard for you to find happiness and peace of mind.
 
Shane,
God has not abandoned you and neither will your brothers and sisters in the Catholic Church. I am praying for you.
D
 
St. Dymphna, please intercede for our brother Shane and let the Lord grant him mental peace to behold Hiim.

Amen.
 
Shane, I am going to say my rosary tonight with your intention in mind.

Life is not easy, but it makes much more sense to walk this journey with Christ than do it alone.

Praying for you …
 
O Lord, Holy Father, omnipotent and eternal God, I give You thanks and I bless Your holy name. I know I’m a poor miserable sinner but hear a cause that is just, turn your ear to my prayer. Amen

Prayers for your intentions….

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 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.

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.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls into Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

Lord Jesus, hear my prayers. Amen

I know exactly where you’re coming from…

***Lord, God, Who have graciously chosen St. Dymphna to be the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders, and have caused her to an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who invoke her intercession, grant, through the prayers of this pure , youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all who suffer from theses disturbances, and especially to those for whom we pray.

We beg You to accept and to satisfy the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf. Grant to those we have particularly recommended patience, in their sufferings and resignation to Your Divine Will. Fill them with hope and, if it be in accord with You Divine Plan, bestow upon them the cure they so earnestly desire. Through Christ, our Lord, Amen.***
 
Lord Jesus Christ,
I’m upset and disturbed,
and I pray that You will grant me
the grace of inner Peace.
As You commanded the storm winds at sea to be calm,
command the storms in my life to be calmed.
Give me the patience I need
to cope with the burdens and anxieties of my life.
Grant me the strength to better deal with my problems,
and the understanding to be more tolerant
and kind to others.
Teach me to seek after Your will
which alone brings peace of mind
and peace of heart.
Amen

my two cents:

Here’s a prayer. I’ve suffered depression for many years and don’t wish it on anyone – I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Please feel free to PM me. It may help to look up St. Benedict Joseph Labre and read some about him.

Prayer For Help Against Spiritual Enemies

Glorious Saint Michael, Prince of the heavenly hosts, who stands always ready to give assistance to the people of God; who fought with the dragon, the old serpent, and cast him out of heaven, and now valiantly defends the Church of God that the gates of hell may never prevail against her, I earnestly entreat you to assist me also, in the painful and dangerous conflict which I sustain against the same formidable foe.
Be with me, O mighty Prince! that I may courageously fight and vanquish that proud spirit, whom you, by the Divine Power, gloriously overthrew, and whom our powerful King, Jesus Christ, has, in our nature, completely overcome; so having triumphed over the enemy of my salvation, I may with you and the holy angels, praise the clemency of God who, having refused mercy to the rebellious angels after their fall, has granted repentance and forgiveness to fallen man. Amen.
 
Lord Jesus Christ,

Give me the patience I need
to cope with the burdens and anxieties of my life.
Grant me the strength to better deal with my problems,
and the understanding to be more tolerant
and kind to others.
Teach me to seek after Your will
which alone brings peace of mind
and peace of heart.
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.
