Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery

Peace Returning After a Very Dark Time

Anya, Bellingham · January 9, 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 am writing to share that after many months of feeling lost and overwhelmed, I am finally beginning to feel peace. In November, I sent you a prayer for my own mental health, for the strength to get through each day. The darkness was so heavy. Since my prayer was carried into St. Peter's, I have felt a slow but steady change. It is not that the struggles are gone, but I am better able to face them. I have found a little more patience for myself. Sleep comes a bit easier. I wanted you to know that your service felt like a hand reaching out when I needed it most. Thank you to you and your team for carrying my words.
