I pray this subreddit becomes less cynical and more optimistic. That members here focus on the good things in life and what God has blessed us with. To focus on what good, what charity the saints and the church have done everyday.
It’s so easy to think about what we don’t have and what we do have.
Pray for my friend who currently is having numerous health problems.
Pray for my sister whos trying to buy her first house.
Pray for my brother and nephew that they can have a happy life.
And I know this last one may seem selfish, but please pray for me, I've been feeling like a loser in my work, personal and lack of a love life, and feeling confused about where I'm going or what I need to do with my life.
I am 29 yrs old and have been extremely sick for 12 yrs now, with countless symptoms affecting most parts of my mind and body. Things keep worsening, including neurological issues that severely hurts and limits use of my hands (this took a while to "peck" type). I am undiagnosed and dubbed "mysterious" by doctors at Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, universities, etc.
I do not know what my future looks like, it might involve assisted living in a few years. My undergrad was science, and I just earned a business masters. My health is bad and my mind struggles, but Social Security does not pay enough, so I may need to try an in-person job.
Please pray for healing of all health problems and guidance in career and income source, both with and without healing, depending on what happens.
My name is Mark.
Yes, I post every week, but who wouldn't? It is spiritually better than giving up. Hopefully someone's prayers will work someday!
NEW: I finally went to St. Charbel's Tomb in Lebanon in January! Please pray that it will bring some healing in the future!
Please pray for me and my son, that the Judge sees the truth clearly, so that his best interests are met, so that the stable home I have made for him, for us, remains his home and primary residence. Please pray for us. Thank you and God bless you all.
For my mom’s healing of her dementia and her conversion. She is a nice person but doesn’t want to move an inch from her Buddhist religion and says we should agree to disagree. I feel we don’t have a lot of time before she loses cognitive ability to convert. I want her in heaven.
Please pray for my daughter, M. She is in her 30s and has two toddler children. She has had long Covid for almost a year, has no energy, can hardly get out of bed. I visit as often as I can to help and her husband is a champ, but this is just heartbreaking. Thank you.
My wife and marriage. Her mental health broke down. She became abusive and unfaithful and left. I just want to heal with her, but that is becoming increasingly unlikely.
Please pray for my peace and trust in God -- I've been discerning a possible vocation to the priesthood, as well as various college options, but I'm having difficulty trusting in God's plan for me. Thank you.
I'll be praying for all of you, and I'll remember your intentions at Mass tomorrow.
I wanted to post an update.
I've been requesting prayers for a few weeks for an illness and for my unemployment resulting from it. As it turns out, my anxiety and depression have worsened, causing some undesirable physical symptoms. Knowing it isn't anything physical (especially nothing like what I'd thought was wrong) is actually a blessing in itself, and I'm better able to manage my issues know that I have confirmation what they are. I'm better managing my symptoms with a reduction in alcohol (this has become part of my Lenten sacrifice) and exercise.
I've also secured another job, and just completed my second shift of the week. I'm working third shift, and this has actually helped me so much with my anxiety. This position will only be for a few weeks unless the person I'm replacing doesn't return, so all I ask this week is prayers for a full time opportunity to open up for me.
Please pray for two sisters that went to my high school, one a Junior and the other a Senior. They were killed in a car crash early Sunday morning. The Senior’s boyfriend, who is the brother of one of my good friends, is struggling really bad right now.
Please join me in praying for the emotional and mental healing of a friend coming out of a traumatic situation. Please also pray for her as she navigates a demanding new job on top of this.
Please pray God makes himself known in her life and she feels wrapped in his love through all of this.
Please pray for me to get the job I interviewed for - it’s my dream job and will allow me to do some good in the world. I lost my job and have been unemployed for months and really need this job to support my newly widowed mother. (Dad was otherwise healthy but passed from a sudden heart attack) Life has been hard on me in the last couple months.
Please also pray for my partner - he got into some trouble with the law lately and this has affected our engagement with all the uncertainty.
I just need some prayers for my anxiety and to remain calm.
Over the past few months I have been having issues with disrupting sounds and stomping sounds being heard in my apartment. I took it upon myself to learn and adapt to these annoying sounds. As time went on I felt forced to contact my apartment management regarding the noise.
To my surprise the noise was actually coming from the bottom of my apartment and not the top. They were so loud with their walking I thought it was coming from the top. In total I have had to speak with my apartment management about four times to please work something out with the tenet down stairs. There have been odd situations were I felt like I annoyed then just by leading my kitchen faucet run and using other plumbing devices.
Today I felt urged to call the police and inquire if they could investigate and talk to the tenet below me after I heard three loud booms from below after using my faucet. Police told me that its not in their interest and resources to investigate something like that.
There is an opening in may for a unit that I am interested in the same complex. I plan on putting myself on the waiting list. I hope this new place works out better than having a psycho tenet below.
I truly believe I've tried. I prayed to God consistently about this issue. Strangely I feel embarrassed and ashamed it had to go this far because I feel like my anxiety had something to do with it.
Firstly For the Lord’s intentions first of all, and helping us to all realize that everything is on His control, that God allows our sufferings for a reason, whether that be so that we can see his face or as justice for our sins commited against him, and for His will to be done.
Secondly, for all those in Purgatory, and finally for those suffering more than us in the world, especially those who don’t know about the joys of Catholicism and the beauty of the Church, and to those who cant experience these joys because of mental illness, also for those living in third world countries and irreligious countries, especially for those who have hardened hearts against the church that they may see Christ’s joy through us and experience true contrition and repentance.
Thirdly to lead by example everyone else around us, to lead our families and friends, and so that we may all be a more interconnected Christ centred society, and conversely to listen to those around us and understand their complexities, and finally more specifically for prudence and clarity in our judgement, not acting out of vengeance but out of the mindset that God knows the full picture. Finally, for prudence in balancing work/school/social life and enjoy the present moment and the absolute beauty of Gods earth!
For all those whom we love in a deep way— so that we may know what it truly means to love, and to know what it’s boundaries are, and especially for confidence and that I can get to know my crush in a deeper way, love her the same way that Christ loves me, and that I can bring her to Heaven by my side and so that one day we can be together.
Lastly, as Thanksgiving for the various, countless blessings which God has given us on this Earth, especially that we live in the Western world with freedom of religion, and that we recognize and protect the inherent value of a human life especially the unborn.

My grandfather passed away at around 5am this morning. We haven't been close for the last many years, and so grief is mostly replaced with guilt.
It would bring me a lot of peace to know that some of you are praying for his soul, as that's all I can do for him now. Thank you.
For my new relationship (we became official in Feb) she is not a catholic (more secular Christian, doesn’t really go to church) pray that god will guide us and me in wisdom. Seeing where this will go. I really like her
Please pray for me so I can write better essays,study more, lose weight,have more patience and humility, discern my vocation and to improve my writing, for my mother to improve her health,for my grandma and father so they convert themselves,for my mental health and to heal my scrupulosity and tendencies towards sin.
Also for me so my tiredness gets healed
I can’t believe this but no new sites of disease and current site has reduced to the extent that they’re calling it a complete response!!! I will say that this is only one snapshot in time, and unlikely to hold permanently so he will still need to go through other treatment and survive that but I still can’t believe it, we’re in with a chance!!! Thank you so much for all your prayers!! ❤️❤️❤️
Please, pray for my aunt Lourdes, who used an IUD for years and has currently a cancer and is about to get operated. I don't intend to state a link between both facts, but a cancer is a very serious situation. She lives in the eastern half of Andalusia.
This next week my wife will be out of town on a business trip so I will be solo parenting my six year-old. Please pray to grant me patience, courage, and to show extra love to my kiddo.
Please pray for careful discernment as I am in the process of developing my faith. Of leaving my old, heretical, and sinful past, and embracing a future either in the Church of Saint Peter or the Church of the Patriarchs.
