Hi All,
Code: 
 I've been here before. I am in desprate need of some intense prayers, intercessions, and devotions. I have a long list if intentions to go through and they are very personal (which is why I always call them 'hearts desires' in public). I was wondering if you could all please pray for me that all of my intentions may be fulfilled by Our Lord. I know He will come through at some point, He always does. But then, it seems like He turns my blessings into curses (I read about that in the Bible a few months ago, though I am not sure where). I pray that my intentions may be His Will for me and that all of my intentions and hearts desires may come true. Also, why would He allow mt to develop feelings of friendship for a person and bring a person into my life, if it was not meant to be anything. Please, please, please pray real hard for me, I beg (I am getting a bit desperate) so that all of my intentions may come true and be a part of His Will for me.
God Bless,
Paul

It’s hard for us to know if all our intentions are God’s will for us. I find it safer to pray that the Lord’s will be done in my life. Sometimes we ask for things that may not be good for us or our goal of gaining eternal life. Kind of like a child wanting to play with razor blades and then getting mad at his parents when they say no.

Okay, let’s take a breather.

To begin with, I’m sorry you have been having a difficult time, but it is heartening to hear that you have turned to prayer to help you through it. However, there are a couple of things that I want to say, and I don’t feel that this is too presumptuous, as you opened the door.

First, prayer intentions are not like magic; if you’re going to enlist other people to pray fo you, it really helps that they know what it is that they’re praying for. There are a couple of reasons why, one being that a specific prayer may then also be addressed to a specific patron saint and enlist that saint’s help in intercession. Another is that a blind plea for a strangers intentions may accidentally end up having someone praybfor something that they are not comfortable praying for, which I am sure is not your purpose, but it can be inconsiderate of someone else’s spirituality.

Which brings us to my second point: this sounds almost dangerously close to you asking that God conform to your will, rather than the other way around, as it should be. “I pray that my intentions be His will for me” is a little bit of a red flag. So just make sure that you have a good understanding of whatyour praying for, and that, when you do ask for people to pray for you, you’re clear about what you’re asking them for. As it is, it sounds an awful lot like you aren’t really focused on Him, but rather, yourself.

This also is in the same wheelhouse of why God would “allow” you to develope a relationship that wasn’t “meant to be anything”. God’s will is beyond understanding for us. It may seem painful and contradictory, but I assure you, it is driven by Love. We do have to trust that.

Here’s a prayer by the late Trappist monk Thomas Merton that I find helpful when I feel lost:

"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, thoigh I know nothing about it.

Therefore, I will trust in you always though I seem lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone."

This prayer I will pray for you.

Blessings,
M
