Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery

Peace After a Year of Anxiety

Simone, Bend · February 12, 2020

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 and your team, I wrote to you asking that you carry my prayer for peace. I have struggled with anxiety for so long, and last year was particularly dark. I asked for strength to face each day. I sent you my prayer card for my own mental health. Since then, I have felt a quiet sense of calm I haven't known in years. The panic attacks have become less frequent, and when they come, they are not as overwhelming. It feels like a weight has been lifted. I am able to sleep through the night again. I don't know why this change has come now, but I am so thankful. It feels like I have been heard. Thank you for helping me send my prayer to such a holy place.
