Finding Calm After Months of Anxiety

This is the sender’s own account, sent to us after their prayer was carried in. It is not a promise that the same will happen for anyone else.
Dear Fr. Marco, I sent a prayer through your service back in July for my struggles with anxiety. It had been a heavy weight for months, making even small tasks feel overwhelming. I asked you to carry my prayer for peace and a quieter mind. Since then, I haven't had a single panic attack. The constant tightness in my chest has eased. It feels like a fog is slowly lifting. I still have difficult days, of course, but they are different now, more manageable. I don't know why this change has come, but it came after I entrusted my worry to you. Thank you for your quiet work and for your team's kindness.
