Do I have any more hope :(

[Seeking_Jesus]

Hello,

I came across spiritual envy from the diary of st. Faustina and it describes me exactly and I have been struggling with this sin of spiritual envy for years and it’s killing me, even Jesus said that he can’t do anything to these people; I’m stuck and I’m losing hope and I’m very tempted to fall back to my previous sin, please help, do I have any more hope left; I feel that God is leaving me because of this sin which I can’t do anything about it, here is the diary:

1717 Today, I was talking with the Lord, and He said to me, There are souls with whom I can do nothing. They are souls that are continuously observing others, but know nothing of what is going on within their own selves. They talk about others continually, even during times of grand silence, which is reserved for speaking only with Me. Poor souls, they do not hear My words; their interior remains empty. They do not look for Me within their own hearts, but in idle talk, where I am never to be found. They sense their emptiness, but they do not recognize their own guilt, while souls in whom I reign completely are a constant source of remorse to them.

Instead of correcting themselves, their hearts swell with envy, and if they do not come to their senses, they plunge in even deeper. A heart, which thus far is envious, now begins to be filled with hate. And they are already at the edge of the precipice. They are jealous of my gifts in other souls, but they themselves are unable ‘’ and unwilling to accept them.

What Our Lord means, is that, there are souls which do nothing except look at what other people are doing, and the soul’s won’t actually pray. They do things just for the sake of doing them, not with any real intent. This is wrong. God will NEVER give us anything we CAN’T handle. God Bless you, and I am praying for you.

you have very much hope, don’t worry, when God is speaking of people like that, He is referring to those who do not know themselves, or do not care even if they realize what they are doing,
you are aware of this problem you have, and you do want to correct it…that means you have very much to hope for, God will help you because you want His help, that is how He works, He helps those who accept His help, and does not force His help on those who do not want it.
it is not complicated for us, God has made it easy for us because we are so weak, and He knows that better then anyone.

just pray on it and perhaps talk with your priest about ways of overcoming your particular faults, and also keep in mind when you read, that God is all fair, and He loves you very much, He would not abandon you and would not leave a soul who wishes to please and serve Him, so when you read something like that, just remember, there is always hope, because God has said “My grace is sufficient for thee”, there is no sin impossible to overcome with the grace of God.
