I don’t know if I’m writing in the right forum, but since I had to pick one I picked this one.
In the last 4 years I’ve had pretty much nothing good happen to me. I met a guy and started dating him. We were together for 2 years and then I found out he was married, so I moved away. Then I got sick with this mysterious illness that no one can diagnose and I’m up to my eyeballs in debt from all the testing and still no answers. I’m nauseous every day of my life and nothing helps. I finally thought I caught a break when I passed all my tests for teacher certification, but no one will hire me and $480 worth of tests will expire at the end of the school year. My sister has expressed that she no longer wants to have any kind of relationship with me and says things were better when I was gone. I have been trying to schedule weight loss surgery since June. Now that insurance has finally approved it the only day the facility has for scheduling is the day AFTER I am dropped from my parent’s insurance plan.
I truly feel that God hates me. I must have done something terrible to make him mad at me. I feel like I have nothing to live for anymore. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take anymore bad stuff happening…anymore bad news. I truly want to die. I don’t understand what I did to make God so mad at me, and I don’t know what to do to redeem myself to him for whatever I did.
 
I’m sorry that this is happening to you! :hug3: The only thing I can give you are my prayers, and a piece of advice: I know that things seem really rough, but life will get better. Also, I know you probably already know this story, but it always helps me when I’m down: footprints-inthe-sand.com/index.php?page=Poem/Poem.php
 
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.
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Praying for you…although it seems hopeless don’t give up…God is with you. I pray for God’s will to be done and that it may work out to your advantage. God bless.
 
You know… at times i think to myself why does this world have to be so horrible. But when i get stressed over something or i suffer. I thank the Lord for my suffering, do you know why? Because John 12:25 “The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” The more suffering you have the more of heaven you will inherit. I love christian songs because they bring me up and help me keep fighting, putting all the faith in Jesus Christ. We love you because we are all children of God and know that there will always be someone there for you. Pray to him and he will see your faith and love you unconditionally. This earth is temporary, remember that.

There is always hope, my friend. It is we who refuse to seek and embrace it. I think are foolish to imagine that God hates you so, sister. Some things in life occur with hidden purpose that we do not recognize until after it is fulfilled. Despair not, and take comfort in that perhaps one day, all your questions shall be answered, and that eternal love alone shall rule all. In Chinese, after all, Xi Wang (希望) itself means “hope”.
 
Hi Katie,
Congratulations on passing your tests. It’s pretty common for teachers to substitute for a year or two prior to getting full time employment. It’s an opportunity for you to get to know schools and for administrators and teachers to get to know you. In time, you will find the right permanent position. 👍
Prayer is a great way to address your problems and praying in community can be so helpful. We know that when two or more meet in His name, Our Lord is there. I pray that You will be open to His direction, and that you will find peace in His love. I pray that you will be able to determine what is causing your nausea and eliminate it from your life. And I pray that if you are unable to have your surgery, this will in time prove to be a blessing in disguise as Our Lord leads you to new activities and habits that safeguard your health, and friendships and relationships which are gentle and supportive. May the peace and healing of our Lord soothe your heart during this difficult time. Amen.
 
I pray that the Lord gives you wisdom adn knowledge to discern His plans for you. May He bless you with the graces you need and provide for your needs-- temporal and spiritual. I pray that He bless you with gainful employment that will inspire you, enable you to provide for your needs, save for the future and contribute to the good works of the church. AMEN.
 
Mother Mary, I commend Katiedid786 to you. Please ease her suffering and help her to carry her cross courageously, patiently and lovingly. Please intercede for her constantly and help her to persevere in a state of grace. May she trust that God has a plan and that all things work out for the good for those who love Him and do His will. May she love God with all her heart, mind, soul and strength; and may she pray ceaselessly, rejoice always and give thanks in all circumstances. Amen.
 
Thank you to everyone who prayed for me and provided emotional support during a very difficult time for me. I found out today that the surgery will happen and it’s scheduled for 10/19. Y’all are truly angels sent by God to help me make it through the last few super stressful days. Thank you.
 
Thanks be to God!
Take care Katy. May your surgery be a complete success and may your healing be swift and sure. Amen.
 
I am truly sorry for everything you are going through. But you must be assured that God does not hate you, that He never abandons anyone and that He has not caused the things that are happening to you. We live in a sinful world, both in itself and the sins of people, and these are the cause of all our problems - not God. When there are consequences for our sins, they are much more obviously connected to our sins than the problems you’ve described. No matter what is happening to you, God still loves you and cares for you and wants a relationship with you. This truth must be a constant consolation and solace for you, no matter what problems you are dealing with, just as it was for the thousands of martyrs throughout history. They must have felt just as helpless and abandoned as you do now, many probably crying out “Father, why have you forsaken me?” as Our Lord Himself did on the Cross. Yet, they remained faithful and obedient to God, and were rewarded with the eternal paradise of Heaven. Allow this truth to grant you interior peace and hope and to be a source of faith and love in your life, even when you are having problems of any severity. I know this can be incredibly difficult, as it is for everyone, but it is truly our only means of escaping the deep despair and sorrow that can come from life’s tribulations.

I pray that you may find hope and peace in the knowledge of God’s constant love and that all of your problems may be fixed, especially your relationships with other people and particularly those in your family, and that you may be forgiven of all your sins. I ask for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, your guardian angel, and St. Thomas More, a martyr who was rejected by his family, his king and his country, lost all he owned and even lost his life because he remained true to God and his Faith. God bless. 🙂
