Hello prayer warriors,
I have not been over here to pray in a bit. I am sorry, but I felt too tired and discouraged to pray for a short while.
I feel bad asking for prayers when so many other people, including flood victims, people dealing with terminally ill loved ones, the unemployed, etc. have it much worse than I do. I’m just a little worn down. Have had 3 deaths in the family since March, in addition one of my dear cats had to be put to sleep, and a seemingly endless cycle of home repairs is going on. I also miss my own deceased parents and grandmother very much as the recent deaths probably triggered some emotion there.
I felt so tired and spiritually disconnected that I barely made it to Mass on Sunday. I forced myself to go because I did not want to have to wait several days to go to confession (I doubt I could have found any place offering it till Thursday) and missing Mass was a serious problem for me for years, so I do not want to fall back into bad habits and I do not want to be committing and confessing the same sin over and over. I did (just) get to the last available one on Sunday. I feel like the devil does not like me trying to pray more and live a better life and that he has stepped up his efforts to get me to fall down. It probably didn’t help that I fell off the wagon of taking my iron pills for anemia treatment, which is also a past bad habit of mine that leads to a lot of other bad things.
This board will soon be gone and I don’t know how many prayer threads will transfer over, but I’d appreciate it if a few people could just say one Hail Mary for me or whatever other little thing they could do. I hope this isn’t too much of a bother. I will in turn try to get back to praying for everybody else too. Thank you in advance.
