I have been at the utter depths of depression and despair for the last two months due to serious tax issues I have with the Inland Revenue. I started a part time business to supplement my main job to provide a better life for my wife and our beautiful 2 year old daughter. My business got too busy and grew too fast for me to manage properly in my spare time which has resulted in a tax nightmare that could result in bankruptcy and losing our home and my main job and all our income.

I absolutely loathe myself for what has happened and feel a constant, relentless, tormenting self hatred and sense of guilt that I never thought possible. I feel like I can’t live like this much longer without a complete breakdown but know I need to be as strong as possible for my family and pray to God that we get through this.

Please pray for me. Please God help me and forgive me.
 
O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
Amen.

By Saint Ignatius of Loyola
 
Please don’t loathe yourself. See yourself through God’s eyes and Love yourself with a Love that knows no bounds. Loosen your tormenting self-hatred and sense of guilt. Think of the love you have for your beautiful daughter; God loves you so much more and so much more deeply. You are His beautiful child.

This life is filled with struggles and sorrows. For all of us. Happily for us, we can count on the strength and power of Christ to carry us through. Remember the footprints in the sand?

God allows you to carry your cross so that you can prove to yourself that you are as strong as He knows you to be. And you are strong as long as you allow Him to be strong with you.

I will pray for you and your family.
 
Please remember, you would not be the 1st citizen to have tax problems. However, in addition to your faith and trust in the Lord, you must face your situation and seek the help of a tax professional. I’ve found that even though the IRS doesn’t necessarily accept taxpayer excuses, if approached in good faith, they will work with you.🙂
 
***Hail Mary,

of thy womb,

Mother of God,

and at the hour of our death
Amen.

Jesus our Lord, I trust in you, and place this person’s intentions
in your most sacred heart. Please grant this
person the comfort of your love, healing and inner peace as well
as strength and courage

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
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen.

St. Matthew, you were a tax collector before you encountered Christ. Interceded for this poster in his tax difficulties. Help him obtain good advice and encounter merciful tax agents to ease this tax situation that is causing him to despair. Obtain for him the grace so that he does not despair. St. Matthew, pray for us. Amen.

Good grief, what a nightmare of stress you must be under! I am so sorry to hear that. I pray that a good CPA or tax attorney can help you with your tax issues and maybe find some way to provide a way to pay back these taxes over time so you don’t lose your home.

Consider seeing a DR if the stress gets too much; perhaps they can help you with some medication to help through the rough patch.

May God bless you and may you find relief from such stress.

Mary.

Adding prayers for you…
 
God grant you the grace to seek his forgiveness and accept his love and mercy and the strength to rebuild your life according to His will.
 
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.
