Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery

Peace in the Midst 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 for my daughter through your service last month. She has been struggling with severe anxiety for years, and some days it was hard for her to even leave the house. When the photo of the card arrived, we placed it by her bedside. In the weeks since, we've noticed a quietness settling over her. She is sleeping better. She started taking short walks again. It feels like a heavy blanket is slowly being lifted. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but today there is a little more light. Thank you for the work your team does. It felt like we were handing our worry to someone who could carry it for a while. Sincerely,
