Prayers please

[Discerning_Life]

I’m reluctant to ask for prayers for myself, but I guess everyone needs to ask every now and then. I’ve been depressed for years, but this year and these few months have been the worst. I’m either emotionally numb or I am in pain. I purposely isolate myself from people, yet at the same time, I lament my loneliness. I have psycho-motor retardation, so when I read things aloud, I stutter and embarrass myself. I have difficulty finding pleasure, and it feels as if I can’t pray anymore. When it gets really bad, I think of…well, the worst thing I know of.

I swear I’ll get help in college next year, but for now, there’s literally no way for financial and familial reasons. Thankfully, at the moment I’m not in an episode, but I lose my logic when I enter one. Please pray for me.

P.S. Can you not refer to me as “emotionally disturbed” or a “mental case” or as “insane” or “crazy”? I’d like to think of depression like asthma that can be kept under control and can even go away completely. However, you don’t call people with asthma “respirationally disturbed.”

Heavenly Father,
You are intimately aware of the struggle this person is experiencing -
the pain and the despair.
You know the desire of their heart to be healed of this depression.
I ask now for Your healing touch.
I know that You are able and that just like in
Bible times, You can release them from their depression.
Amen.

Dear Lord be their protector and defender in this time of trouble.
Surround them with the Holy Angels,
so that they may emerge from every danger in the fullness of health
and well being. Guide their life journey,
so they will always walk safely together with you,
in God’s protection and friendship.
Amen.

In the name of the Father,
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

I recommend you to the Blessd Virgin Mary. May she ease your suffering and help you to carry your cross heroically. May you find comfort praying to her. May our Lord grant you courage, strength, peace, the deepest faith, surrender to his holy Will and abandonment to his divine Providence. Amen.

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee 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.
