As I have become considerably more active in my spiritual and prayer life, a feeling of unworthiness has crept over me. I don’t know why – but I feel quite frightened. I don’t suffer from scrupulosity. I’m not tormented by certain sins. I’m just scared. Please pray for me to find some peace because these feelings are creeping me out.
 
You are a child of God. Be not afraid, for he is with you always. God never leaves his children. Praying for your intentions.

My friend you are indeed worthy. To God you are a precious Jewel, more sacred and important than his own throne. Satan does not want you to believe that or know it, he wants you to feel like trash and then he strikes when you are weakened.
Be strong for our father, you are far stronger in Christ than the enemy is in all his power
 
Try to vision how worthy you are in the eyes of God and that He loves you more than you can imagine. Keeping you in prayer.
 
Dear Njlisa,
Can’t personally think of anyone MORE worthy than you. Despite constant physical pain, you give of yourself unstintingly to everyone in need of help or prayers. Those same prayers must have touched so many hearts, easing worries, calming fears etc.

Please try to ask yourself how you, in your wisdom, would help someone in your own situation. Would you offer some of your wonderful,always apposite prayers? Would you write with conviction of the unfailing love of Our Blessed Lord? Would you assure that person that she is His beloved child and that His loving arms are always around her? You might do any of these and more (I haven’t your ability, so can only hazard a guess!).

Please Njlisa, try to be as gentle to yourself as you are to others.
You are very much in my prayers.
God bless and comfort you.:hug3:
 
this is exactly what the prince of lies wants …to creep you out…to make you fearful.
Call upon the name of Our Lady…MARY…and demand he leave you alone.

Pray the Divine Mercy chapel in the evening, to give you peaceful sleep, and ask your guardian angel to stay extra close.
St. Michael the Archangel, be there for Lisa…bring her peace.

Njlisa,
Because you are interceding for others, you could be under attack from the Evil
One. I pray for Jesus to cover you with His Precious Blood, so that nothing can harm
you.
“God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but the Spirit of power and love and self-control.”** - 2 Timothy 1:7
And “By His stripes we are healed.”**–
  • “Never worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition with thanksgiving, and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will
    guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.”* - Philippians 4:6-7
 
Thanks, everyone, for your support. My friends, you are right. I think the devil is trying to scare me away from my prayer duties, which I find very rewarding.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Listen to the words Jesus has for you:

“Behold, you are beautiful, my love,
behold, you are beautiful!
Your eyes are doves
behind your veil…
Your lips are like a scarlet thread,
and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil.
Your neck is like the tower of David,
built for an arsenal,
whereon hang a thousand bucklers,
all of them shields of warriors…
Until the day breathes
and the shadows flee,
I will hie me to the mountain of myrrh
and the hill of frankincense.
You are all fair, my love;
there is no flaw in you.
Come with me from Lebanon, my bride;
come with me from Lebanon.
Depart from the peak of Ama’na,
from the peak of Senir and Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
from the mountains of leopards.
You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride,
you have ravished my heart with a glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
How sweet is your love, my sister, my bride!
how much better is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!” ~Song of Songs, 4:1, 3-4, 6-10

I’ll be praying for you. And stay close to your guardian angel, St Micheal and Our Lady of the Angels, Queen of Heaven. And remember the words of Christ to Pilate, “Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matt 26:53) Remember this is within His power, and He can send them to guard you,
For he commands his angels with regard to you,
to guard you wherever you go.
With their hands they shall support you,
lest you strike your foot against a stone." (Psalm 91:11-12)

Also, read Psalm 91 at least once a week before bed, perhaps even every night.

And may the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His face toward you, and give you peace.
 
May the source of infinite love beyond human reason find you and reside with you this day. While we were still sinners God gave His son to human life and death to show us His love. Lord, dispel the fear of doubt in that love. May Your petitioner’s battle in faith be won against foes that would attempt to discourage it. You are Lord, we are Your people. May our restless and discouraged souls find rest in Thee. Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Blessed Mother, I ask thy intercession upon this child. May she feel God’s love and warmth overwhelm her. May peace be showered upon her like an everlasting stream.
 
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help
or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
We fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother;
to thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not our petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer them. Amen.

Jesus, I trust in You!
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amoungst women,
And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of death,
Amen
 
My prayer for you today: “Be anxious for nothing but in prayer and supplication and thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6
 
Dear brothers and sisters, I have to find a way to overcome my fears and feelings of unworthiness. Your prayers are helping.
