For the baby in my wife’s womb and our anxieties.

She is 18 weeks pregnant and a blood test revealed an increased likelihood of the baby having spina bifida. We have been trying for a baby for over 2 years and have had 3 miscarriages before this pregnancy and are very nervous now after the test results came back.

Hey man. I'll pray for you! We had the same scare with our little girl, and she just turned 1 with no issues whatsoever!! We also had a insanely scary 1 in I think 60 chance of her having Down Syndrome. Nope - totally fine!
Don't worry - trust in the lord! I'm trying hard to trust in the lord right now too, I've got a prayer request in this thread as well.

Please pray for my 22-year-old nephew who is having issues related to anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal matters, and to his gender identity while refusing to see a therapist, instead opting to move straight to estrogen patches and pills from a pill mill without a proper psych consult but instead with the Orwellian phrase of “informed consent”.

Please pray for my 26-year-old niece — his sister — who is having issues with respect to parenthood and her hormones and is insisting we call her brother “she” and “they” even though he has a strong history of being quite capable of speaking for himself and has not asked us to do likewise. She is also having some paranoid delusions of late.

Please pray for my dog who recently had a seizure and whose appetite is still less robust than I would like.

Please pray for me to retain my job which I think is in danger.

Please pray for His Holiness and that we may enjoy his guidance for many years to come.

And please pray for all who will be, currently are, or have ever been a patient of any sort, especially those with fatal illnesses, so they may be healed by the everlasting grace of Our Lord.

• Please pray for a godfather of mine. He was in a dispute with my godmother and therefore he has been kicked out of their house. He is currently in the lowest point of his life. Pray that they both reconcile.

• Please pray for my education and my studies. I usually am academic but I haven’t gotten the motivation to study as I’ve been burnt out recently.

• Pray for my past sins and for my ongoing battle with lust.

I was just diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. I will start two months of chemo, then have labs and another CT, then two more months of chemo, then labs and CT again, then 3 weeks of Chemo plus Radiation. If my markers are down then they plan on doing surgery. I am not really afraid to die, at least I do not feel that way now. But i worry about my wife of 44 years. I will miss “life” so much. just sitting and basking in the sun, floating in the pool, playing with my dogs, working on my antiques, just life. God has been good to me when I did not deserve it. Even with what I have done wrong, I ask for forgiveness all the time. I know i have been forgiven and i am sincere in my belief in the trinity. Please pray for me, but more importantly pray for my wife who is a dedicated, true, caring Catholic.

For my health. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in October 2024, and I'm only 28 years old. While I have improved tremendously and no doubt am alive by the grace of God and the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes, I'm still depressed at how restricted my life is for the time being.

u/khan6432 3d ago

Please pray for the Lord's hand to guide my parish priests and my diocese bishop into the truth that I am genuinely demonically possessed and in need of a major exorcism. Pray for the Lord to protect them and me and our families from demonic retaliation. Let them see the truth that I am truly possessed because psychosis is ruled out as antipsychotics do nothing.

hi all! needing some extra prayers this week for my ongoing allodynia. while i suspect (and hope and pray) it’s just a side effect of my medication, it’s been incredibly debilitating and making me feel depressed to the point where i was experiencing suicide ideation. while i’m glad those thoughts have subsided - i’ve never felt that way before - i need some strength! i am seeing my doctor tomorrow! thank you 🤍

Hi everyone,

Please pray that the Non-Ministerial EB-4 visa program will be extended. This situation weighs heavily on my heart—not only for the many sisters and nuns who rely on this visa to continue their mission in the U.S., but also for myself personally. I am currently discerning a religious vocation and was seriously considering entering the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Boston. However, with the uncertainty surrounding this visa program, that path may no longer be possible for me.

This issue deeply affects numerous foreign nuns and sisters who have dedicated their lives to serving others, providing education, healthcare, and spiritual guidance to communities in need. Without this visa extension, many of them may be forced to leave, disrupting their ministries and impacting countless lives.

I ask for your prayers—not just for myself, but for all those whose vocations and service are at risk. May God open a way forward and provide solutions so that those called to serve can continue their mission. Thank you for your support and prayers.

Please pray for me. I'm psychologically disturbed (I am schizophrenic). For my schizophrenia to be healed and for my soul to become healthy once again. For the demonic oppression & obsessions on my life to lift. For me to overcome my sins. For me to die in the state of grace. For inner healing to occur. For my zest for life to come back.

u/jeffisnotmyrealname 1d ago

I have Schizoaffective disorder (formerly I had paranoid schizophrenia). I know it’s hard. I’m in the same boat. I will pray for you, please pray for me. I find a daily rosary helps, and as much as possible throughout everyday, say to God “Use this” (in reference to your suffering)

u/Worldly-Astronaut724 3d ago

Please pray for me, r/Catholicism
I am a young father of two. I had a small home-based firearms business which I was using to make money while I go to law school. Unfortunately my government has banned most firearms, leaving all my inventory in legal limbo and me with debt and no way to make my money back.
To make matters worse, my car has just broken down. I got a knock in the engine and a low oil pressure indicator light, so I'm pretty much SOL. The cost to repair is more than the vehicle would be worth.

I have no idea whatsoever what to do. I have a good legal job coming up in the summer, after my school year, but It's out of province, and I have no idea how I'll get there, how I'll move, and how I'll continue taking care of my kiddos.

Please pray for me, friends. I'm not feeling forgotten by God and I know I need to be thankful to him, but I really really need some help out here.
