Hi. This is a rather hard message for me to post, but my girlfriend of four years broke up with me a fortnight ago, and I’ve started to feel really down. I’ve a history of depression and I really don’t to go into that dark place again. It was hell on earth, not wanting to go anywhere, not having the energy, just sapped of all life and energy. I know that many people have been in my position, but if you could possibly spare a minute or two in prayer for me, I’d really appreciate it, thanks.

I’m trying to get back into a healthy prayer life, but I’m finding it difficult, even though I have a few good, supportive friends in my parish. I’m lacking appropriate drive and direction in my life now this has happened. I know that having a girlfriend isn’t the be all and end all of life, but it does help to be able to speak to someone who’s compassionate, and to someone whom I can unpack my thoughts.

Once again,

Many, many thanks.

Praying for you. You are not alone, God is always with you. Just keep praying & listen & let the Holy Spirit guide you.
 
The breakup could have been God’s plan to clear the path for the ‘right’ one. Be patient, positive and prayerful. Something truly amazing is coming your way. In the meantime, offer your sorrow, sadness and loneliness to Jesus so he can lift poor souls out of purgatory with your offering. Just say ‘Jesus, I offer you my day’ when you wake up. You will be doing good for others and your perfect someone is just around the corner

God bless 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

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 art Thou amoungst women,
And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and a the hour of death,
Amen
 
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.

Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,

thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.

May God bless you, and know that God has already chosen the person you have to spend your life with (if that is His will?) Please be healed of your depression, through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, all the Angles and Saints, Amen.

Stomp the Devil out a receive Chris’s Mercy, Amen.
 
Praying that the Lord may grant you comfort and strengthen you.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
 
Thanks for all the prayers so far, I can feel they are having an effect 🙂 You can be assured, that, in gratitude, for each of you who’ve either prayed for me or offered a kind word, I will spend half an hour on my knees in prayer for you and your intentions.
