Prayer for Anxiety and Mental Peace
This prayer to St. Dymphna seeks her compassionate intercession for those burdened by anxiety, mental illness, and emotional struggles. Known as the patroness of mental health, St. Dymphna is invoked to bring comfort, strength, and hope to the afflicted. Through her prayers, we ask for patience in suffering, trust in God’s divine plan, and, if it aligns with His will, the gift of healing and peace. This prayer reminds us to rely on God’s grace and St. Dymphna’s loving care in our journey toward mental and emotional well-being.
Lord God, Who has graciously chosen
Saint Dymphna to be the patroness of
those afflicted with mental and nervous
disorders, and has caused her to be an
inspiration and a symbol of charity to
the thousands who invoke her
intercession, grant through the prayers
of this pure, youthful martyr, relief and
consolation to all who suffer from these
disturbances, and especially to those for
whom we now pray.
(Mention your prayer here.)
We beg You to accept and grant the
prayers of Saint Dymphna on our behalf.
Grant to those we have particularly
recommended patience in their sufferings
and resignation to Your Divine Will.
Fill them with hope and, if it is according
to Your Divine Plan, bestow upon them
the cure they so earnestly desire.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
