A little history first.
I was transferred to Arizona about 4 years ago. It was a dreadful move on myself and my family. For 3 years we lived there.
December 31, 2002 I lost my job. For 8 months I looked for work in Arizona and Colorado. Nothing happened. I was lost, desperate and at the end of my rope.
I started praying a novina (listed below). I prayed it 9 times a day for 9 days. Within that time period I received a job in Alaska, where I grew up and have always wanted to move back to, and I got an offer on my house (all within the 9 days).
I am not deeply religious and I don't pray nearly as much as I should. I do recognize intervention when it happens though. There is no other explination.
So if you need help please consider this. Pray the below 9 times a day for 9 days. It worked for me.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
“Oh, that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that your hand would be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.”
So God granted him what he requested. —I Chronicles 4:10 NKJV
Prayer to St. Joseph
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most Loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departed souls, pray for me.
This prayer was found in the 50th year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles, when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it, or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.
Prayer to St. Jude
O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (state your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever.
I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Amen.
Must be said 6 times each day for 9 days.
May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, loved in all the tabernacles until the end of time.
Amen.
May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and glorified now and forever.
Amen.
St Jude, pray for us and hear out prayers.
Amen.
Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Blessed be Saint Jude Thaddeus.
In all the world and for eternity.
Say this prayer followed by Our Father and Hail Mary.
