I am respectfully asking that you pray, but don't comment...

...and the reason I am humbly and gratefully asking that you don't comment, is that it's rather humiliating that I am compelled to post such intentions, and I would much prefer just knowing that some are praying, without me having to post on it further, publicly (anyone is welcome to comment in private, but it's not necessary). I thank you.
...Short of artwork, maybe once every three months, I have no income, don't work, have never held a full time job and quit every part time one. Depression and not liking to go to unfamiliar places, or go to any places, for too long, are the culprits. Though my wife works, I would describe our financial situation as usually bad.....sometimes worse. We are in one of those "worse" spells, and my guilt looms large. Attempts at disability have been tried, and failed, 4 times now, and just going to appointments depresses me. And I can't imagine having such a meeting via a computer screen. And even another attempt at disability will take a couple years, with no guarantee of success.
...Our pastor tries to help, with gift cards to the grocery store and the occasional payment for doing a church bulletin board, but we still have these spells where we just can't keep up. For my wife to not even be able to buy her dad a Father's Day gift, because I don't support my family, leaves me feeling immeasurably small. We live in a decent house, put in my name because I took care of my mom for years, and though maintaining it financially or keeping it up is almost impossible, I am grateful, because I know others don't even have a home. But even simple things...paint for the railing, a gallon of gas for the lawnmower, laundry detergent (one cup left) are impossible until my wife gets paid next Thursday. And even then the usual bills will suck her paycheck out of our account before it even gets in there. I can barely face myself, but to have to face her, is unbearable.
...I am not asking for anything but this; please pray God, St Joseph and St Jude will answer my constant nagging, and I will somehow get some sort of steady income, just so we can manage. Even better, pray I can somehow get a steady income, so my wife can work less or not at all. But, unless someone hires me as an on call, year round illustrator, or I win the lottery, I don't see how that will happen.
...Forgive this request, as well as how it turned into desperate venting. Each person who posts here could write a book on their own struggles and problems. I am no special case, and I am profoundly aware of that.
...Ive posted it before and I'll post it again, I may not post often, but I browse through this site daily, and always pray for everyone here.
..Thank you, and again, there is no need to comment. Praying is more than enough.

Prayers Mark!

Please don’t feel you need to respond to any of our replies as it may just create more anxiousness.

But I’ve “come to the well” here so many times begging for prayers myself that I know that if they promise to pray for you, the good and noble MOG members here will do so. They’re true prayer warriors. And you will feel it.

 

Praying for you as well.

 

Praying.

 

Sending my Guardian Angel to St.Joseph, and St. Jude to pray for you and your wife.

Going outside right now to pray a Rosary while I walk. For you Mark and all the MoG site forum members and their children/families.

 

Just woke due to a headache and looked on forum to see this post of yours. Offering up my discomfort for your intentions! +++

 

You are a treasure, Advocata.

 

Praying Mark right now.
