Dear Saint Dymphna,
My daughter suffers from a mood disorder, and a severe anxiety and a fear of people trying to harm her. However unfounded these fears seem to us they are very real for her. Please bring her a calmness and peace that will truly make her believe that she has nothing to fear because our God is watching over her. Please cause her mind to release these fears, to let go and let God so that she may live a more peaceful, productive and happy life and raise her child to grow up trusting in the Lord.
This prayer I send to you for your intercession and blessings upon my daughter.
Amen
