Answer 1

Hi there anonymous, I have been a counsellor now for over twenty years.  Let me begin by saying how you feel right now is felt by many people nowadays.  The world we live in can appear difficult and hard.  Everybody seems preoccupied with their own lives trying to do their best and somehow get ahead of the average Joe way of living.  Keeping up with the Jones's way of life seems to exist in more and more people.  Along the path in life, sometimes people can forget what really makes them happy and why they are trying so hard to brake away from the pack in the first place. Parent are not amune to this and can fall into grind.  They work hard to provide the best for their family or what they perceive as being best.  Fancier houses, fancier cars, fancier stuff, designer clothing........and the list goes on.  They get trapped in this rat race and end up devoting all or most of their time trying to achieve those goals.  After a while it becomes their way of life. The children that they love so much and that they would do anything for, become lost to them along the way of life.   Sometimes I would like to grab these parents by the pants and give them an atomic wedgy so to speak.  Make them realize that they got it all wrong.  These children that they had, only want their love,  time and affection. That is what is really important to them.  People need to simplify their lives and get back to the real family closeness and ties.   God does not want people to live like that at all.  People should be happy and at peace and not worry so much about material stuff. It is not like the kid with the most toys in the world wins in the end.  Of all the things one can bring with them in their final moments of life is nothing materialistic but love.  It is often said that people who have seen their life flash before their eyes can only see the good and love they have had and experienced.  They don't see their fancy stuff.  The bible talks about all of this and is like a road map for the way of life.  All answers are in there.  We need to put God first in our lives and live in the faith. Talk to God and ask him to somehow get through to you and your family of what is important and what is not.  The Holy Spirit has a way to enlighten those who ask.  Talk to your parents, tell them you love them and understand the hardships they are going through to provide what they view as being the best for their family.  Tell them you don't need all that material stuff. All it does is make people stressed out and prevents them from enjoying each other.  Bless you my young friend.  I will pray for you and hope that all works out for you and your family.

Hi,

I've struggled with depression, including suicidal thoughts, and there's been a lot of improvement for me. I've been taking anti-depressant medications prescribed by a doctor. Also I've been doing the 12 Steps of Emotions Anonymous. Part of my continued healing is that I share with others the solution. The 12 Steps of EA are:

1: We admitted we were powerless over our emotions--that our lives had become unmanageable.
2: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3: We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4: We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5: We admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6: We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7: We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8: We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
9: We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10: We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
11: We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
And there's an additional principle of recovery: We offered forgiveness to those who had hurt us.

THESE ARE THE 3 POWERFUL PRAYERS EXORCIST USE TO DRIVE OUT EVIL - You Can Use It Too - CatholicShare

https://www.catholicshare.com/these-are-the-3-powerful-prayers-exorcists-use-to-drive-out-evil-you-can-use-it-too/#axzz5aJS8bqNa

1. Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; Passion of Christ, strengthen me; O good Jesus, hear me; within Thy wounds, hide me; let me never be separated from Thee; from the evil one, deliver me; at the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to Thee, that with Thy saints, I may praise Thee forever and ever. Amen.

2. Prayer Against Malefice from the Greek Ritual

God, our Lord, King of ages, All-powerful and All-mighty, You Who made everything and Who transform everything simply by Your will. You Who in Babylon changed into dew the flames of the ‘seven-times hotter’ furnace and protected and saved the three holy children. You are the doctor and the physician of our soul. You are the salvation of those who turn to You.

We beseech You to make powerless, banish, and drive out every diabolic power, presence, and machination; every evil influence, malefice, or evil eye and all evil actions aimed against Your servant [name of person/s]. Where there is envy and malice, give us an abundance of goodness, endurance, victory, and charity.

O Lord, You Who love man, we beg You to reach out Your powerful hands and Your most high and mighty arms and send the angel of peace over us, to protect us, body and soul. May he keep at bay and vanquish every evil power, every poison or malice invoked against us by corrupt and envious people.

Then, under the protection of Your authority may we sing, in gratitude, ‘The Lord is my salvation; whom should I fear? I will not fear evil because You are with me, my God, my strength, my powerful Lord, Lord of peace, Father of all ages.”

Yes, Lord our God, be merciful to us, Your image, and save your servant [name of person/s] from every threat or harm from the evil one, and protect him/her by raising him/her above all evil. We ask You this through the intercession of our Most Blessed, glorious Lady, Mary ever Virgin, Mother of God, of the most splendid archangels and all Your saints. Amen!

3. Prayer for Deliverance

My Lord, you are all powerful, you are God, you are Father. We beg you through the intercession and help of the archangels Michael, Raphael and Gabriel, for the deliverance of our brothers and sisters who are enslaved by the evil one. All saints of Heaven, come to our aid.

From anxiety, sadness and obsessions, we beg You. Free us, O Lord. From hatred, fornication, envy, we beg You, Free us, O Lord. From thoughts of jealousy, rage, and death, we beg You, Free us, O Lord. From every thought of suicide and abortion, we beg You, Free us, O Lord. From every form of sinful sexuality, we beg You, Free us, O Lord.

From every division in our family, and every harmful friendship, we beg You, Free us, O Lord. From every sort of spell, malefic, witchcraft, and every form of the occult, we beg You, Free us, O Lord.

Lord, You Who said, “I leave you peace, My peace I give you,” grant that, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, we may be liberated from every evil spell and enjoy your peace always. In the name of Christ, our Lord. Amen.
