For perseverance

[Julie]

Hey people.

I've been having a difficult time lately. Prayer life dried up to a crisp. Bizarrely strong temptations against faith (which started a couple weeks ago as almost comically random and absurd, easily dismissed, but which are now wearing me out). Alternating with temptations to despair (because when faith and love aren't really showing themselves, it gets reeeeeeally hard to cling on to hope). 

Anyhow, I need some graces in a big way. So pray for me while I keep dragging myself to Mass and saying prayers by rote.
