Hello
My first post here. I’ve seen this forum over the past few weeks as I was searching for help from Jesus. I read this prayer to the Virgin Mary which according to the heading, it was sure not to fail. I had to pray that particular prayer for 3 days and my prayers would have been answered. I’m not one to pray for silly things. This time I am in trouble. I have opened a business which started well and people like what I do but being new is hard to get the results. In my prayers I also asked for Jesus to guide me through a process of getting the right answers as I was about to sign a paper which if things went well, I would have come out…well not losing but at worst I would be totally bankrupt and left out in the street with nothing to show. I prayed and prayed for an answer of what I should do and had nothing to guide me. The other option was to sign these papers and have the business sold not long after…At the time I had many people interested in looking at buying my business…Anyway I signed and hoped that one of those people interested would have been inclined to at least view the business. What happened shocked me…as soon as I signed, all those interested parties disappeared and now I am left with this business where I have guaranteed with my name to keep it running until the end of the lease in 3 years time… I don’t think I can hold onto the business until then as my customers are now dwindling to it’s lowest ever and I am losing money…I am now under a lot of stress and feel a lot of shame. After I signed those papers in which i was seeking Jesus guidance things have gotten much worse and now face bankruptcy.
My questions are…where has prayer got me to? Is it Gods will to make me suffer time and time again? I have always lost out in my life. Not married or able to hold onto a relationship and I’m not a bad looking man, just not fortunate enough to have a life like all my friends of a stable family with a nice career and a nice house. It seems to me that what ever decision I make, it’s wrong.
I am a very sad person wishing things would end for me now cause at 50, I don’t see anything getting better.
 
We get answers everytime we pray. Do we like the answers we get? that is a different question I think. It may feel like God are ignoring Your prayers, but he isnt, he just gives you answers you dont like to much.

Maybe some of the goals you`ve been having in life is very far away from the goals Our Lord has in mind for you and Your life?
Not everyone are ment to get married and have a 9-5 job, driving a volvo and so on.
Some of us are ment to do other Things in life.

Have you ever felt some sort of vocation or anything like that in your life?

You are in my prayers, I hope everything sorts out for you my friend.
Put your trust in the Lord and he will sort it out.

Hail Mary, full of Grace,
The Lord is With thee,
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God,
Pray for us sinners, now,
and at the hour of Our Death.

Amen
 
Praying for you and that God grant you clarity. I can’t tell you how many times my unanswered prayers were blessings.

Praying an Our Father and Hail Mary…
 
My prayers often go unanswered as well. And I wonder why pray at all sometimes.
It’s usually because I think I want something that I begin to pray. In truth, we should pray constantly…in thanksgiving, in celebration, in awe and reverence. What? you say. Are you crazy? No, pray in thanksgiving because God loves you and created you to live and breathe and move and think. Pray in celebration for the things HE provides that we NEED to survive, air, water, shelter, food, family… Pray in awe and reverence to the Almighty God who loves man so much that he gave his only son Jesus to suffer and die for us.
And then, talk to him heart to heart about your troubles, doubts and worries. It should be your own words. He wants to hear from you.

I’m praying for you and your intentions…
 
See a Priest, make a good confession, receive Holy Communion, remain in the state of grace. I will pray for your well-being, financially, emotionally, spiritually. It’s one thing at a time, but…you must go to Mass every week.
 
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.

I’m sorry it’s been such a hard time. You remind me a little of me! 🙂

I’ve also been in dire straits, myself. I’ve been in positions where I’ve lost pretty much everything I think 2 or 3 times! In recent times, I try not to let it keep me from having faith in God, though, either way.

I try to have my faith in God, independent of external circumstances. I strive to have faith whether I am on top of the world or UNDER it!

One thing I’ll tell you I’ve learned from losing everything different times is NOT to give up my faith, no matter what!

I’m telling you that as hard as all this is, and I know it IS, that it would be NOTHING compared to the difficulty of trying to go through all this WITHOUT God and your faith! Don’t even think about trying to do that!

I had a close call with bankruptcy last year. Before that, I talked to a friend who had been there, gone through bankruptcy! I talked to her and saw that, as difficult as it is, it is actually possible, even then, to survive it.

She actually even was able to reestablish her credit within less than a year after that, which really surprised me.

Hang in there. Keep the faith through all the testing and trials. I’ll pray for you! God bless.

Incidentally, I have lost my car, job, etc. Even so, life goes on.

Hello All
I would like to thank you for all your prayers…i’m still in limbo. Don’t know where to head as far as making any decisions and still bad news comes my way. Nothing seems to work positively for me. I wake up every day asking what bad news will I be getting today and on cue, more comes. I practically turn my phone off to avoid having to speak to anyone. It is a most depressing life I am living however it doesn’t seat right with me for people to have pity on me. I will say again that I am grateful for your prayers. I need things to change now for me as I am about to lose everything.
 
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,

Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

and at the hour of our death
Amen.
