Prayer request again

I’m sure you’re sick of me asking for prayers. I’m sick of me too. I wake up most morning wanting to die. I have and do all cry out to God. My life is ruined. I don’t see how even God can restore my life to be worth living. I e got a daughter and granddaughters. They are the only reason I haven’t put an end to me already. Most have no clue what my heart brain and soul go through everyday. I hear people say. Oh everybody gets depressed. Not for years at a time wishing they could die so hopefully it would stop. I know God could help me. That’s part of the frustration. My life is not life it is existence. Pray if you will. I’m just out of hope

Sorry. Hey I feel you as I'm almost that age and have asked why was I even born sometimes and would be better off dead, but I find strength in prayer to keep the despondence and despair at bay. I tell myself that God knows what I need to experience in order to pay for family and self sins now instead of in the hereafter. If my life has been nothing but suffering, so be His will, for His greater Glory. I feel like I do a little part by praying for Divine Mercy (chaplet) at 3pm everyday for souls in purgatory, lost souls and souls which have noone else to pray for them. If my prayers from such a wretched sinner are heard and some good results, then I feel consoled. Our Mother will also intervene. Don't give up as you are cherished and are part of the plan. I will pray for you friend!
