I am easily obscured by apprehension over career prospect, relationship and all sort of things. I need direction. I need light. I need God’s aid. I need Jesus’s guidance. I need Our Lady’s protection. I easily lose faith. But I am willing to trust God.
I am sometimes confounded by earthly thoughts. I sometimes question the value of my existence. I am worried about my studies and exam results which determine my future university. I am vexed by financial difficulties. I feel myself unprepared for adulthood though I’m legally an adult. I feel empty at times. But I am willing to open up to God. I know this is the right thing to do, but somehow the thought of carrying our own Crosses haunt me. But then I still know this is what I am obliged to do.
Please, Jesus, I’m not good at prayers. My Rosary meditation is far from superb. I do not understand you as saints do. I quite often annoy you with grave or trivial sins. But I entrust myself to your mercy.
The world changes; time fades; even friends and family members pass away amid the fitfulness of life and Providence. But Jesus, my dear friend, you never change. After experiencing the tumults, I know that you are still there with me to confront all challenges. Dear Lord, I can hardly promise to be your best friend, but I will try to walk with you. In God I trust, I love, and I hope.

Amen.

I know my post’s getting messy but that’s what I feel whenever anxiety assaults me. Thanks for reading.
 
I think its a wonderful post. St Padre Pio said the greatest act of faith, & that which is the most dear to God, is the one done in darkness & with great struggle & with no perceptible reward.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
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 by this confidence, I fly unto 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
 
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.

†

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.

This sounds like something a lot of young people go through. Depend on Jesus. He’ll walk through it with you. I’ll pray for you.
 
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

God bless. Praying for these intentions offered here. Lord, have mercy.
