Please help me. I haven’t logged into CAF for a while. I have been too busy making mistakes in my life. I left my girl friend of seven years to start dating a Muslim woman whom I had met back in college.I have known this woman for 5 years and felt a certain attraction to her intellect and physical beauty. My girlfriend of seven years is a great person, beautiful person that is a very devout catholic. I started dating my college friend but kept thinking of my gf of seven years and how I had basically betrayed her trust and love.The relationship with my college friend only lasted a month. We were getting too attached to each other, and realized that our religious differences would be a barrier if we ever wanted to get married so there was no point in staying together.

I kept thinking about my girlfriend of seven years and the trust and love I had betrayed. My conscience was tearing me from the inside out. I went to see my girlfriend of seven years, and told her everything that I had done. I was expecting the worse, but at least my conscience could have some relief. However, I was surprised when she told me that she forgives me for what I have done and will hold nothing against me. She told me she was willing to forget and to continue our relationship by building it up from the rubble. We went back together, but I can no longer stop thinking about the Muslim woman and the great joy I felt with her as well. I don’t know who I love 😦 . I am extremely confused and I don’t want to hurt anybody anymore.

I have been in a state of depression that I have never felt in my 25 years of life. I have been like this for close to 3 weeks now. I don’t know how to get rid of it. I still think about the Muslim woman and how much damage I did to the other woman. I’m very confused right now. I don’t know what to do.

Friends, please pray for me. Only Our Lord can help me. I need Our Lord’s guidance to help make up my mind and to get rid of this depression. No matter how beautiful the days are they all seem gloomy and dark for me. I have hit rock bottom. My heart is in despair

Thanks you all in advance. May God bless you.
 
May our dear Lord help you to be of undivided heart and not fall into the trap of Eden.
Adam and Eve, instead of being thankful for all that they in reality had, craved what they should not have.
In consequence, they lost all that they had and life would never again be the same, never as good and beautiful as what they had thrown away through ingratitude.
May God protect you from the sin of ingratitude for the gift of such a fine forgiving Catholic woman. Look away from the serpent’s temptations, which of course are amazingly attractive as Adam and Eve can testify, and accept what God has given in His merciful love for you.

May God help you with the determination to recognise and daily rejoice in the little and big things that are wonderful and beautiful in your girlfriend. If Adam and Eve had realistically been thankful, truly thankful, for all that God allowed the and surrounded them with, how different things would be.

May God bless you and your girlfriend

Amen.

May our Lord grant you healing, strength, peace, courage, deep faith, surrender to his holy will and abandonment to his divine providence. May you love the Lord above everything and everyone else and not allow yourself to be tempted to do something that could harm your precious Catholic faith. Amen.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
I pray that God grant you the grace and wisdom to do the right thing and that you come out of depression and that God relieve of your burdens

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and
Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us Sinners, now and at the our of death. Amen

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you:)
