I have anxiety issues, and my Confirmation is coming soon. I don’t want to feel that way that day. It is supposed to be a day of joy. Can you please keep me in your prayers?

Lisette, here is a prayer that has helped me.
I pray you will find it helpful too.
In the comfort of Your love, I pour out to
You, my Savior, the memories that haunt
me, the anxieties that perplex me, the fears
that stifle me, the sickness that prevails
upon me, And the frustration of all the pain
that weaves about within me.
Lord, help me to see
Your peace in my turmoil,
Your compassion in my sorrow,
Your forgiveness in my weakness,
And Your love in my need.
Touch me, O Lord, with Your healing
power and strength. Amen.

Lisette 1,
I will pray for you and the stress you may feel on the day of your confirmation. Anxiety can be a horrible cross to carry. I pray that you are showered with the blessing and comfort and contentment, especially on that day. It is a blessing to be allowed the opportunity to confirm your faith, and you should get to enjoy for its magnitude and worth. Say a prayer leading up to the event and trust that God has you every step of the way.
Amen.
You got this!

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

St. Jude Thaddeus, pray for us.
In my worry, in our worries, may you bring us to the calm and peace, in being God’s presence. That where things seem to tell us otherwise, may the eyes of faith, sustain and inspire.
Amen.
(Thanks, OP. It helps me to acknowledge my own anxieties, indeed, you are not alone, I am not alone… And yes! Welcome!!! as you proceed to Confirmation.)

The Holy Spirit will be giving you love, joy, and much happiness on this important day of your life. Confirmation is a strengthening of your faith. You become a “true” soldier of Christ. I hope you get so excited on this great day. Millions and millions have been Confirmed. It is nothing to worry about at all. Just think everyone is so happy for you. You have all the love and support of EVERYONE in Church that day. Everyone gets a little nervous, I did, and it turned out great.
Your a great person and God want you to be Confirmed because He needs you to help His Church be strong so other souls can be saved. Please promise to tell everyone on this page that it went well and all our prayers and love for you succeeded. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I just assisted a very large class in their confirmation. Most of them were anxious, worried that somehow they wouldn’t remember how to walk, talk, think, be. We rehearsed them and encouraged them and prayed with them and for them. They had confession and exposition of the Most Holy Eucharist days before. Confirmation went well and all were surprised at how smoothly it went. Yours will too. I’ll pray for you.
If I said anything that you did not get in your class, don’t worry. Just think Prayers and Sacraments: You already had your baptism. You can receive communion whenever you can (as always). Try to go to confession about once a month. AND THEN–ALLOW the Holy Spirit to help you through this and for the rest of your life.
Confirmation will just be another beginning: living a life open to the Holy Spirit. If there are no bells and whistles or visible tongues of fire, THAT will be normal. I was confirmed as an adult and I kept wanting all of my problems to disappear (including chronic anxiety) at once. But of course if the problems disappeared, there would be new problems. The truth is that I now had the spiritual and moral strength to face my problems and overcome the ones God wanted me to overcome. Some I am still working on.
After confirmation, when you get a chance read “The Mood Cure”. It may help with your anxiety. Anxiety is like a lot of chattering monkeys blathering during a really good movie, making it hard for you to enjoy it. I am happy when I can make those little monkeys shut up so I can enjoy my life. God bless you and have a wonderful confirmation. May the Holy Spirit move through you and all of your fellow confirmandi who will set the world on fire with goodness.
