Please pray for me and my family. I’m a young widow with 4 kids. My husband died in a car crash and left me with 2 kids then a month after he passed my only sister passed on and left 2 of her kids. So I took the kids as my own to raise them. I’ve been unemployed for a year and i’m Highly skilled and qualified but I have been applying for jobs and no feedback or job offer. Last week I got invited to 3 interviews with different companies and another yesterday.i pray for an offer. My challenge is that I can’t take care of my family without income and i’m In so much debt. I’m worried about my loss of faith in God, I pray all the time and read my Bible. I often feel like God is too hard on me… from when I was little I have not had anything easy… I have lost so much in my life including my father,my son, my sister, my husband and I’m still in my 30s…how do I keep believing in God when I’m always going through hardships??
 
Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Dear Mother Mary,
We approach you with submissive and humble hearts, because we
have a child-like confidence in your intercession and goodness. We
beseech you to assist Nkalane and her children in their desperate
condition. We believe, dear Mother, that you are not only rich and
bountiful,but kind and generous to all your children. We thank you,
dear Lady, through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Prayer to St. Anthony for Employment

Blessed St. Anthony, who in life was ever mindful of the needs
of the afflicted, consuming yourself in the service of God and
for the good of souls, who was the enemy of idleness and a
tireless worker in the vineyard of the Lord, beseech God to grant
Nkalane a suitable job, which may procure for her and her and
her children a decent livelihood, and be at the same time a means
of personal sanctification and of real service to others. Amen.

Prayer for Faith

Lord, I believe: I wish to believe in Thee.
Lord, let my faith be full and unreserved,
and let it penetrate my thought, my way
of judging Divine things and human things.

Lord, let my faith be joyful and give peace
and gladness to my spirit, and dispose it
for prayer with God and conversation
with men, so that the inner bliss of its
fortunate possession may shine forth
in sacred and secular conversation.

Lord, let my faith be humble and not
presume to be based on the experience
of my thought and of my feeling; but let
it surrender to the testimony of the Holy
Spirit, and not have any better guarantee
than in docility to Tradition and to the
authority of the magisterium of the Holy
Church. Amen.
– Pope Paul VI
 
Padre Pio:

If God wills to prolong our trials do not lament or try to find out the reason…we have to see God through the fire of thorns, and to do this we must go barefoot and renounce our own will and affection and accept the will of God wholeheartedly. Let us always humble ourselves and acknowledge that we are nothing if we lack the Divine Assistance.

Prayed for you and I will include you in my rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet prayers. God bless!

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
we are with you, One body in Christ, we suffer with you, we love you, we pray for you.
May God bless you and keep you strong in faith.
 
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 to 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 Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen.
 
I’m praying for you. May the Lord grant you a job and may He also grant you a financial miracle. Moreover, may He grant you the faith to carry on.
 
Praying for you and your family. Jesus loves you. It saddens me you have lost so much. Yet, you have still been given so much. If the Lord wants you to work then you will. Trust in him. The Lord loves you and your family. He has not abandoned you. Death is not his will.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jer 29:11

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed

O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.

You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.

You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Nkalane in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
 
Keep praying…
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima, Amen…
