[right][snapback]800747[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Just deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus. He let's us feel this way because He loves us so very much. Just like Jesus, we have to take up our cross too, and we have to set them free. God answers, just give it time. As the old saying goes... "Good things come to those who wait." Offer up your pain and suffering to the poor souls in purgatory. They need our prayers. Also, they can pray for us. Keep praying to the saints for help. Just remember, your reward will be great in Heaven. Don't give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel blessed that God feels that you are worthy to suffer no only for the betterment of yourself, but for the betterment of His Church. Also, as practical advice, I find that many people who feel down and "depressed" feel that way because they focus on it. Forget that you think you're depressed, and a good percentage of the time, it will go away. Focus on God, not on your sadness, whatever may be causing it. in Christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelsior1027 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) All that I can say is...offer it up to Jesus. Even if He doesn't give you an answer right away, it doesn't mean He didn't hear your prayers. Jesus never forsakes us. Yes, at times He withdraws His comfort from us, but that doesn't mean that He doesn't love us. Just keep praying, keep having faith, and above all, trust in Jesus!!!

[right][snapback]801521[/snapback][/right] [/quote] When we say "offer it up", we mean offer it up to Jesus, as in just give it to Him. Anything that hurts, that troubles you, just place it in trust at Jesus feet, pray about it, and just trust in Jesus that He knows what's best for you and that He'll make everything work out the right way in the end. You have to trust in Him that He's taking care of you and that everything is in His control. If you really offer everything up, if you give yourself to Jesus, than you don't have anything to fear, because He'll always be taking care of you. Hope this is being of some help!
