Please pray for CS who has been suffering for years from depression. She told me last week that it has gotten much worse. She rarely sleeps, doesn’t want to do anything but stay in bed, and said if it wasn’t for her faith and belief that whether we live or die is up to God alone, she wouldn’t be here. She said she feels like an empty shell, feels like no one loves her, is lonely, and is now going through a very dry spell in her faith. She has been praying for God to guide her but says she can no longer discern His voice from hers.
Please pray for her.

God, this world’s problems are so complicated that CS
cannot make her way without Your guidance.
Quicken her mind and deepen her understanding.
Help her hear Your voice and heed Your advice.
Keep her walking along the path behind You.
Through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen

St. 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 thou O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the
Power of God, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl
throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on her.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for her.
St. Joseph our protector, pray for her.
Amen
 
Messiah , please help CS with her depression , let her know that she’s not a shell , but that you care for her , amen
 
Hmm, it sounds suspiciously like a Dark Night of the Soul moment. You may want to look into that with her. St. John of the Cross, pray for us!
 
Praying for CS. Please encourage her to seek professional help. With the right help one need not live with this kind of pain, I know from personal experience in my own family.

Yes, this. And if she is in treatment her provider should know she is doing worse.

I pray to St. Dymphna for CS who is
suffering from the “fiery darts” of satan,
that she discern those thots that make
her feel powerless, isolated and selfish!!

Our Father, who is in heaven,
Your Name be held holy,
Your kingdom come,
Your 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.

St. Michael, the archangel,
defend us in battle, be our defense against the
snares and wickedness of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God, cast into hell satan
and all evil spirits who prowl about the world
for the ruin of souls.
Amen.(Pope Leo XIII prayer of exorcism)

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.

Prayer for a Miracle

God of all creation, you who spoke a simple command and brought forth light from
the darkness, I ask you now to send forth your miracle-working power to healCS and body. You cleansed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind and by
speaking a simple command, you empowered the crippled to rise up and walk.
You sent forth your life-giving power to all those in need, including those you raised from
the dead. I ask you to send forth your healing power into CS’s body and give him the strength to fight his illness. I ask this through my Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon CS 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.
Jesus, Help Me!

In every need let me come to You with humble trust,
saying:
Jesus, help me!
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations:
Jesus, help me!
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials:
Jesus, help me!
In the failure of my plans and hopes, in disappointments,
troubles and sorrows:
Jesus, help me!
When others fail me, and Your Grace alone can assist me:
Jesus, help me!
When I throw myself on Your tender Love as Savior:
Jesus, help me!
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good
come from my efforts:
Jesus, help me!
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me:
Jesus, help me!
When I am ill, and my head and hands cannot work and
I am lonely:
Jesus, help me!

Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls and short-
comings of every kind:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me and never forsake me!

Amen

Amen. St. Dymphna, pray for us! Our guardian angels, pray for us!
 
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
 
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
 
My prayers are with CS. May she get the help she needs, and feel Your light illuminate her darkness.
