Prayer - Tumblr Posts
Everyone pray for the people on Ocean Gate's Titan. Just on Sunday, the submarine descended two miles below the water to take a tour of the Titanic. Each of the five members paid 250,000 dollars for this trip that has just become a nightmare.
The submarine has gone missing and though teams are racing to find them in the dark, rough, high pressure ocean, they are beginning to believe that they may be too late. Earlier, it was estimated that the submarine has at least 30 hours of oxygen left. Banging can be heard in the area where they went missing.
Among them exists the CEO for this company, a british business man, a French Diver, and a Pakistani businessman and his young adult son.
The odds are not in their favor, but they aren't done fighting yet. Pray for the people on the Titan and most of all, pray that this will be an eye opening event for them. Pray that though almost all of them have a different native tongue, the gospel will be shared and they will be saved. They might not live much longer, but they can still have eternal life after death.
A duā to get whatever you want إنْ شاءَ اَلرَّبُّ وَعِشْنَا:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
(O Allah, Indeed, I ask you by my testifying that You are Allah, there is none worthy of worship except You, the One, As-Samad, the one who does not beget, nor was begotten, and there is none who is like Him.)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard a man supplicating:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
(O Allah, Indeed, I ask you by my testifying that You are Allah, there is none worthy of worship except You, the One, As-Samad, the one who does not beget, nor was begotten, and there is none who is like Him).
Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he has asked Allah by His Greatest Name, the one which if He is called upon by it, He responds, and when He is asked by it, He gives."
— Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3475
Sometimes you feel so alone that it hurts inside but the thing is you have people around you and yet they won't understand. They only person to go to is God, he will hear you but its just the response sometimes can be a while. So what I need now is prayer, peace, and patience.
Dear Jesus, let me rest in solace of Your most Sacred Heart this entire month of June.
Let me listen to the heartbeat of Your love.
Please grant me all the graces and blessings You have for me.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.
I do this with quite some frequency haha. Somehow I always come across these prayer requests.
praying for your mutuals is honestly so freaking funny
novena prayer group roundup!
So October is a big month for prayer-- it's the month of the Holy Rosary, after all! But it is also the month of the International Mental Health Awareness day, and the month for mental health awareness as outlined by the American Catholic Church. Part of this is the Mental Health Novena, a nine day official prayer (10th-18th of October) praying for the intersession of saints and the like ranging from St. Dymphna to St. Thérèse of Lisieux to the Holy Family for the healing and safety of those who are suffering or have loved ones suffering from mental illness. Each day is a different facet of mental health awareness:
Day 1 – Removing Stigmas (St. Dymphna) Day 2 – Families (The Holy Family) Day 3 – Mental Health Ministry (St. John of God) Day 4 – Childhood (St. Thérèse of Lisieux) Day 5 – Youth and Young Adults (St. Kateri Tekakwitha) Day 6 – Effects of Racial Discrimination on Mental Health (St. Martin de Porres) Day 7 – Poverty and Mental Health (St. Teresa of Calcutta) Day 8 – Suicide Awareness (Dorothy Day) Day 9 - Grief (St. Jane Frances de Chantal) & Conclusion (St. John the Evangelist)
Now comes the prayer group roundup: for those interested, I ask that you take time in the morning and before bed to join me and everyone else in praying each day of this novena. Take two moments in your day to think of those of our or our loved ones dealing with mental illness, as well as praying for those who have lost their lives to such a battle. If you plan to participate, I ask you like, or reblog, or comment! The more the merrier. Each day I will be adding a reflection onto a rb of this post with the official prayer for the day. If you would like to add a specific name of a person/etc to be prayed for, please feel free to put them in the comments! I will be updating a list of any left on this post so everyone can see them.
Here is the novena and a detailed explanation for each day:
Thank you, and God bless. Mary, mother of the mentally ill, Joseph, protector of the mentally ill, and Christ's most Sacred Heart, pray for us!

Alphonsus Ligouri, eighteenth-century founder of the Redemptorists, wrote, “Persecutions are to the works of God what the frosts of winter are to plants; far from destroying them, they help them strike their roots deep in the soil and make them more full of life.”
Lord, where your church is weak...
rumoredwars:
People will come to you. Many of those times will be a period of transition into the unknown. After a few days of prayers you become weak, and you struggle, and you cry to God saying take me somewhere new! Bring me someone new! Another place please… Then all of the sudden your cries are heard, but...
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.”
2 Timothy 1:7 CSB
praying to God every night for him 🙏🏻🩷
Your mind is a powerful weapon against anxiety. Use it to choose to think on things above, and not beneath.
God knows you are tired. He knows you are trying. Put Him first. Trust Him. He will make a way.
Heavenly Father, today I am standing tall, declaring victory over every obstacle that dares to cross my path. I'm done with just getting by. I'm here to thrive, to flourish, and to shine no matter what comes my way. With a heart full of hope and eyes wide open, I’m stepping forward in faith, eagerly expecting good news to roll in, blessings to surprise me, and Your divine favor to shower down on me. I’m believing for abundance, for more than I’ve ever imagined or asked for. Amen. 🙏
