Hi
Since my last thread on suspecting I may be able to discern spirits or have the gift of the discernment of spirits, I have not found a spiritual director, or rather, spoken to any.
During Lent, aside from Sunday mass, I have not been observing it the Lenten period at all. I went to the desert before Lent and stopped praying.
After Resurrection Sunday, I started praying again. I pray the rosary with my husband. My “heightened awareness” of things is back. For example, when I sat beside a woman at the cafeteria, I felt burning anger from her, and it was so overwhelming it hurt me and I stopped my lunch. I couldn’t even pray until I regained some composure. I’m really not sure what’s going on. I really hope someone can enlighten me. Meanwhile I have started praying for a friend or someone, to start guiding me to a priest who can be my spiritual director.
Today something strange happened. I stepped out of a building and suddenly felt immense “unpeace”. I walked and walked for about 15 minutes and my heart beat faster and faster, I felt an anxiety attack coming on. I felt being attacked. I walked right into a Catholic church and called my husband, and cried. I felt being attacked. I did enter the Adoration room to pray, to ask God to reveal to me what was going on. Nothing.
Out of desperation, after getting out of the Adoration room, I prayed to God to guide me with a verse from Random Bible Verse Online.
I got this verse from Ephesians 6: 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
I should also add that I am currently journeying with the Secular Franciscans as an inquirer. I’m wondering if it is a spiritual attack. I am going mad.
