If someone is with you, ask them to hold your hand and pray with you, and pray with all the depth you feel, asking God, Our Lady, the saints, to help you. Forget about yourself for a moment and really pray! There is something about that heartfelt, emotional prayer that rises up out of desperation, that God can use, or that He responds to. I kind of get it, we forget ourselves and our reticence to look "too holy" and we go all out in a true appeal to the Creator of the Universe and all that is in it, to look upon our tiny plea with benevolence, and in His mercy, help us. This is after all what He promised, but many will not do it. Do it! And one way or another, you will be assisted, and sometimes, in amazing ways. I thank God for His tender mercy, that He is so quick to give us in times of trouble. All glory, praise, and honor, be given to Him!Kathleen1031https://www.blogger.com/profile/10201084623185206141noreply@blogger.com
