Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery
Peace After a Long Struggle with Depression
Ansel, Bend · September 1, 2023
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 for my peace of mind and strength to keep going. I asked your team to carry it for me. For years it felt like I was carrying a heavy weight. After I received the photograph and knew my prayer was there, something slowly began to shift. It wasn't sudden. But the constant, grinding anxiety has lessened. I feel a quietness I haven't known in a long time. I am able to rest. I don't know what the future holds, but I am grateful for this stillness. Thank you for carrying my words.
