Her name is Victoria. She is a dear friend whom I love very much. Victoria has had a difficult life and has been depressed the past couple of months. Thanks y’all for your prayers.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.



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.



For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (Victoria), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Praying for your friend, Victoria that she finds relief from depression and better days are ahead for her.

Mary.
 
Dear Lord, you are our refuge in good and in bad times. In your infinite mercy, bring peace and comfort to those of us who face days sometimes filled with pain and depression. Help us to realize that through you there is joy and the promise of lasting peace. Help us through the rough times. Walk before and beside us so that we may walk in your footsteps and reach out to you in our journey on this earth. Help us to focus on our blessings rather than our misfortunes, dear Lord. Thank you for hearing and answering our prayers. Amen
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give Victoria guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in her time of need.
 
I think that depression is linked
to focusing on SELF so:
May Victoria be ABLE to pray for
and to see OTHERS as more
important and look out for their in-
terests(beside her own).!!

“I beg You, Divine Jesus, humble
me every time I dare to raise my-
self above others. But oh, how
weak I am! In the morning I end-
eavour to be humble and, at night,
I acknowledge prideful sins. See-
ing me as I am, I’m tempted to
despair, but I know that despair
is also pride. Therefore, I want
to place my hope entirely in You,
my God”[Amen]

— St.Thérèse Of Lisieux

I think that is an unfair thing to say given the vast amount of Saints that have struggled with depression. I appreciate your prayers but at the same time don’t try to psychoanalyze someone you’ve never met.

Dear Adamhovey1988, I beg to differ,
once you take your eyes off self, you
enter into a “detached mode” and then
can pray for others, once you pray, you
can THEN offer up your depression to
God and it is in His Hands, not yours
anymore.

How Great Thou Art.
O Lord, my God,
when I in awesome wonder,
consider all the worlds Thy
hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the
rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the
Universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my
Savior God to Thee,
how great Thou art,
how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul,
my Savior God to Thee,
how great Thou art,
how great Thou art!!
