Please join us daily in offering this prayer for all those ladies on our board who are in need and for your own finanical intentions, whether they be, job employment, money concerns or the selling of a home in difficult times.
If you would like your intentions offered here daily, please post below your request, it will be added to this original post (right under the prayer) by one of the moderating ladies.
When your prayers are answered, don't forget to post again, we will be very pleased to add the happy update!
To Our Lady of Perpetual Help for Financial Aid
Realizing, dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, that thou art our perpetual help not only in spiritual but also in temporal necessities, we approach thee with submissive and humble hearts because we have a child-like and affectionate trust in thy power and goodness, beseeching thee to assist us in our present financial worry (the needs of all those mentioned and our own personal needs.) Owing to untoward circumstances which have arisen in our lives, we are in dire want and pecuniary embarrassment, being unable to meet our honest debts.
We are not asking, dearest Mother, for wealth, if the possession of it is not in accordance with the holy will of God. We merely beg of thee that assistance which will enable us to satisfy our most pressing obligations. We believe, dear Mother of God, that thou art the Queen of Heaven and Earth, and as such, the instrument and special dispenser of thy divine Son's graces; that thou hast acquired by virtue of thy wonderful dignity, a sweet jurisdiction over all creation. We believe that thou art not only rich and bountiful, but extremely kind and generous to all thy loving and devoted children. We plead with thee, therefore, dear Mother, to obtain for us the help we so urgently need in our present financial difficulty. We thank thee, glories of thy miraculous picture. Amen.

Thanks Anne for doing this ... the prayer is beautiful!
As many of you know, we still haven't sold our house in Colorado. We're asking for a miracle as ... with the market downturn and the dearth of home sales ... we are setting the end of February as the time to decide whether we stay here or go back to Colorado....
Please pray for a miracle ... but especially pray for us to know what God wants us to do and how to do it.

Thank you, Anne. I will come here daily. We are struggling as we are self employed and my husband designs, makes, and sells fine jewelry.
Very few want to buy right now.
Our bills and financial obligations are really piling up...
Please pray for us, for direction, for ideas, and new changes. And...for people, if at all possible to come in and buy.
Thank you.

For a dear homeschooling mom friend of mine (whose family, interestingly enough, has ties to an "Our Lady of Perpetual Help" ministry - I'll have to show her this prayer!) - her husband is injured and about to undergo surgery, which is preventing him from working both of his jobs in order to meet their obligations (which I'm sure are now greater due to the medical costs).
Thank you, friends!

I received news that a very large medical bill was denied by my insurance company.
I have starting the appeal process.
We have had a string of financial situations over the last few months.
We really need an end...
Thank you for praying.

My husband got a call from the broker of a trust we had set up years ago. We have to come up with 20,000 dollars for payments because of the way the stock market has been going... the trust is supposed to pay for its own maintenance but apparently hasn't been able to do that.
So if you just pray for my husband's peace and counsel as sole provider of our family, that would probably sum up our request since the hardest part is the stress for him.... he is a freelance worker and of course the economy has affected most small business owners.

We need prayers regarding our mounting legal expenses for the custody case. At this point we are $30,000 in the hole with no end in sight.

For my family. For DH to determine if he should stay in his current job and hope things improve, or if he needs to look at changing jobs. Whether he stays or goes, that things improve so we can meet our obligations.
Also, to determine if he should remain in commissioned sales or pursue something completely different. His health won't allow him to return to service/installs, so it would likely have to be a completely different industry, since all sales jobs in his industry are 100% commission.
For me to find reliable and calm child care for all 3 of my children so I can continue to homeschool and work part-time. A wonderful homeschooling mom watches my kids for me now, but she has severe stresses of her own and I'm not sure if she'll be able to continue. And for my part-time efforts to be sufficient.
Thank you for the lovely prayer! I will keep all in my daily intentions.

For a situation that happened yesterday with a credit card that was apparently closed without our knowledge. Long and short of it the funds that were supposed to come from the line of credit to pay an expense are no longer there and the money was, instead, drained from our checking account. Now we have no money to pay our mortgage or other bills until we resolve the matter or open a new line of credit.
Thank you for your prayers.

This is such a blessing!
Please add us to your list as well.....
Our daughter (youngest) needs orthodontia, along with a major jaw surgery, which is a two year process, and will be extremely costly. We are trying to get out of major debt already, and our home needs a new roof. We know God has a plan, but we could use some prayer support, that God would provide in particular for what our daughter needs, as she is our priority, and main concern.
Thank you all so much!
Yours in Christ,
Tracy Q.

I have not posted here in a such a long time, but was so happy to see this thread. Our financial situation has been such a source of stress, not just for me, but for my husband and I, and it has been something I have not been able to have any peace about for quite some time. I will be printing out this novena and putting it in my brievary, where I will say it with faith. Faith that Mary will intercede for us and bring us back to where we need to be.
God Bless you all.

DH's freelance work is not bringing in enough to cover much more than our mortgage -- we are mostly living on savings.
We have a lot that has been for sale for a couple of years -- selling it would help us get our house sale-ready so we could move to a place where it is less expensive to live and where possibly I could get some part time work to help with expenses.
I want God's will for this but would like to lay it down here for that reason, because I know this is a fruitful place for His graces -- praying for everyone's intentions.
In Jesus through Mary,

J,
What a heartfelt and humble prayer! I will add my prayers as you seek God's will in this and all things. May Our Lady grant you her tender assistance!
Willa,
I'm glad for the update. You have been in my daily prayers, and I didn't want to ask for an update in case that seemed too intrusive. Your family remains in my prayers as you seek God's will in this. Now that I know that you're trying to sell that lot, I'll ask St. Joseph specifically for that intention! I want to tell you how much I wish you could stay on that idyllic mountain that is so beautiful! But, that might not be God's will, so I'll just say, may your hearts find joy and peace in His will whatever it is for your family!
May the poverty and trustful obedience of the Holy Family be a dear consolation and inspiration for all of us!

I'm just now seeing this! What a beautiful place for us all to hold hands and pray. Thank you, Anne. 
I just posted an update in a prayer post but I'll add it here as well. Contract negotiations are over and will be read tonight. Voting takes place tomorrow. By Friday we'll know if they strike or not.
Please pray for peace, discernment, finances. Thank you!
