Catholic Prayer When Feeling Hopeless :
O God of Deliverances, I am encircled by hopelessness. I am surrounded by trouble, and there is no way out. Come help me, God! See what is happening and help me! You are my strength; I will wait for You to show me the way out. You, oh God, are my fortress. In Your unfailing love, You will stand with me, and together we will look down in triumph over all this adversity. Amen!
Prayer to St Jude When Feeling Hopeless
O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.
Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
