Prayer Request (Vanity)
Email | Me

Posted on 12/16/2002 12:57:03 PM PST by The Grammarian

Hey everyone i hope you're having a good break. Anyways, i can't give a lot of background on my prayer request because in all honesty i'm not supposed to, and i've never told anyone. Basically, my dad has a history of psychotic espisodes, with the most recent one occuring a year and a half ago during our family trip to Europe, which ended with him being admitted to a hospital in indy as we couldn't drive him back to the fort he was so bad. I found a box of bullets in one of my dresser drawers last night, and as it turns out my mom hid all of my dad's bullets (he hunts, he has hunting rifles in the house) in case something snaps in his head again as a 'safety precaution'. This majorly freaked me out, to think that my dad's illness could get so bad that he would actually load up his guns and do something. So i'd like everyone to pray that his medication continues to work and that maybe even he never gets another 'episode.' It's really scary to see your parent in a state like that. Thanks a bunch.

Hopefully members of this family are also dealing with a counselor.

Prayers for internal healing are sent.

Heavenly Father, we humbly beg you to comfort Kristin and her family. Watch over her father, and ease his troubled heart. Give them strength, Lord, to face life's difficulties with the power of Your Grace.

Prayer for the Intercession of Saint Dymphna, Patron of Mental Illness

Lord God, Who has graciously chosen Saint Dymphna to be the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous
disorders, and has caused her to be an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who invoke her
intercession, grant through the prayers of this pure, youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all who suffer from
these disturbances, and especially to those for whom we now pray. (Here mention those for whom you wish to
pray.)

We beg You to accept and grant the prayers of Saint Dymphna on our behalf. Grant to those we have particularly
recommended patience in their sufferings and resignation to Your Divine Will. Fill them with hope and, if it is
according to Your Divine Plan, bestow upon them the cure they so earnestly desire. Grant this through Christ Our
Lord. Amen.
