Things may seem bad, but they always could be worse. Life is a test. I ask that you read up on Fatima and St. Pio... they were within the last century. tens of thousands of witnesses... bro, there is so much proof if you look in the right places. Life is short, and we don't loose anything by being Catholic. Even when our faith faulters. Pray for truth and mercy... if there is no God, then it's not going to hurt or help... but if there is a God, then you have a chance to save your soul. Pascals wager bro... ponder it. Then please study up... Please read this one article...

Dave Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 No one ever said trusting in God was easy. Jesus never said following Him would be easy; only that it would be worth it. Things WILL get better, John. Remember that before Easter Sunday came, we had to have Good Friday. There's no way of getting around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) I used to think that way. I realized that God is not present to serve me, I am present to serve God. If you feel your prayers are not being answered, maybe they are. You have to look at it from a different perspective and you will be amazed at the miracles God has already worked in your life. If you don't feel good enough because you can't get yourself to pray all the time, there are many others like you. We are not perfect. It is in Christ that you become perfect. He makes all things new. Edited October 20, 2004 by thedude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciana Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 J.R.D., You're in my prayers, too, dear. A few weeks ago I was ahving a hard time, some spiritual dryness, which had been off and on since summer. I had been putting off confession and when I went it helped alot. Then I started going to confession and adoration regularly again which helped. Last week, some big family problems happened and just sitting in front of the Blessed Sacrament a lot, crying, just talking to God with my grief helped and has been helping. Sometimes when you can't find words, your soul cries out in words you only can feel to the Lord. The family situation is slowly getting better. I'll offer up my troubles and worries for you. Talk to someone whom you can trust. Try adoration. Like Pascal's wager, Doing it won't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancesforLove Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 John I know life smells of elderberries sometimes but oh well thats tough you've just gotta deal with it. It's not gonna get better if you just say "Ya know what I give up" then it just stays the same. Like I said the other night, you can make your life better but your just refusing to try so before you start blaming God for you life sucking you might want to make an effort to make it better.

You don't trust the Lord no more cause nothing goods happening? Dude, so many people get it far worse than you do, but it strengthens their faith in God, not weakens it.

TrinityAddiction Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I dont know anything about what's going on, but something I heard recently- I dont even know if it's relevant. Just thought I'd post: Just as darkness is the absence of light, and as cold is the absence of heat, so is evil the absence of God. you are in my prayers. Also, read the quote on my signature. Once again, I don't know if its relevant or not. Love in Him, Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hey, it's alright to fell like you're feeling. Just stay close to your desires. What are you passionate about? Stay close to what you love, what you desire, what you think might make you happy. You can leave God behind you, but please, please don't leave yourself. Don't deny your questions, ask them. Live them. Follow what you think is beautiful, what you think is true, what you think will bring you life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
