I know that I’ve sinned against God today and have put Him to the test. I don’t really know where to start, other than that I am really ashamed. I keep nurturing this sense of victimization, and sabotaging myself. This whole day I’ve been giving into the voice of the Accuser who tells me that I’m a failure, and that I’m a loser. I haven’t stood fast in faith and I have grieved the Holy Spirit.
There this huge opportunity for something I’ve been working on to actually go somewhere. However, from the beginning, I haven’t gotten any peace from the Holy Spirit about it. I was really struggling with getting anywhere with my work, and it came into my head that God wasn’t going to bless my efforts because He didn’t want this to succeed. My parents did not want me to walk away from this project because of some mystical “woo-woo” feeling that this wasn’t God’s will, and my Mom (who is a devout Christian) told me that she sees this as God opening a door for me.
My problem is that I have a lot of selfish ambition as an Artist. I see other Artists on facebook and on Tumblr who are so prolific, and they have thier own projects and it seems like they’re having fun creating great stories and fun characters. I have come to covet that sort of success, and I realize it is sapping all the joy out of what I really love doing, which has more to do with the joy that comes from the art itself.
It is good to put all the doubts and anger into words now, and it really helps me understand what I need. I really need God’s mercy, particularly the grace of trust in Him. I don’t want to sin against Him again like I did today, nurturing feelings of victimization until I finally believe that I am right and God is wrong. I don’t think there is ever I time I feel more Hellish inside than when this happens, and I want to ask for your prayer that I would repent of this, and avoid near occasions of sin like this again.

** ((Note: I see a spiritual Director about these things, and since I have scrupulosity, I would ask that you please not give advise, as I want to defer to His direction. What I do ask for is your prayer, that God would grant me the grace of conversion from these sins)). **
 
Praying that the Lord may mercifully strengthen you and grant you all necessary graces.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
 
**My Lord and my God
I have realized that whoever undertakes to do anything
for the sake of earthly things
or to earn the praise of others deceives himself.
Today one thing pleases the world,
tomorrow another.
What is praised on one occasion
is denounced on another.
Blessed be You,
my Lord and my God,
for You are unchangeable for all eternity.
Whoever serves You faithfully to the end
will enjoy life without end in eternity.

Amen.**
 
Praying for you.

Memorare

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do 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.
 
Prayer.

Lord, I am in this world to show Your mercy to others. Other people will glorify You by making visible the power of Your grace by their fidelity and constancy to You. For my part I will glorify You by making known how good You are to sinners, that Your mercy is boundless and that no sinner no matter how great his offences should have reason to despair of pardon. If I have grievously offended You, My Redeemer, let me not offend You even more by thinking that You are not kind enough to pardon Me.

Amen.

Peace
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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 our death
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.

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.

Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity,
of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
