Needs Relief/strength

[kayla_veronica]

I have a prayer request to St. Veronica and St. Michael.

I am photography student and convert, St. Veronica is my patron saint and the patron saint of photographer's. I recently did a photography project on abortion. During this time and now after everything has been going wrong both with my photography (not getting good photos, lack of motivation and inspiration, equipment malfunctions, etc.) and the rest of my life (self esteem, temptation, stress, financial, relationships and health problems). Its very hard for me to withstand attacks like this, especially being a convert I feel like I don't have enough "practice" bearing my cross in a good way. It's really hard to keep going with my photography when I have had so many failures, and is hitting my self-esteem like a sledgehammer. I am going to graduate next year and it is so crucial to be consistently talking "portfolio worthy" images at this time. Please pray for relief from these attacks (if that is what's happening) or the strength to keep going through them.

Also (sort of unrelated), a couple of months ago I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I recently went to and Endocrinologist and found out that is has given me very high cholesterol (and I am only 20!). Please pray that my meeting with the dietitian goes well and that I have the motivation/time to get the diet and exercise that I need to correct this.

Thank you so much.
Prays to all of you on Phatmass, who have helped me soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much in the short amount of time I have been on here. Very grateful.
