Please pray for me my brothers and sisters. I have fallen astray and feel away from God. I have fallen into wretched sin so much that I’m discusted, angry and very depressed! I need to see a priest. Please pray that God will forgive me, lead me back to Him and renew my spirit, please. Thank you.
 
I know that feeling but I think avoiding sin and its near occasions will help you feel closet to God again. To paraphrase Bl Anne Catherine Emerich a bit: “What is not good to put in the pot is at least good to put under it.” Of course God will forgive you, you just have to get yourself there and getting there is already half the battle.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum

The Catholic, been there, done that. I got myself into such a whirlwind, didn’t seek help, and got swept away and into such a lifestyle of sin. I couldn’t even see the culture of death I was embracing and expanding.

Through God’s mercy alone, I returned to Him, slowly. As I draw closer to Him through Holy Mother Church, I see ever more clearly the multitude of sins I committed, prided myself on, and the ways I led others astray. My heart breaks, and I wonder what I can possibly do to atone for my sins.

Thank God for Lent! Now is the time to listen to the whispers of God in your heart. Let Him heal you and love you. Put His love for you into a living action for others. If you dwell on your sin, you are not being with God but with your own thoughts and feelings. Focus on God, and He will break your heart so that you can share it with others.

Blessings. And many prayers.

God will forgive you. His mercy has no bounds.

SO much of the last few days, I felt such shame I told God I
wanted to die, even though I feared that I would not allow myself to receive God’s foregiveness.

Pray this simple prayer:

“Jesus help me have the willingness to allow you to love Me.”

“I know I am separate from you but even King David after he
committed adultery with Bathsheba and had Bathesheba’s husband killed found mercy.”

“Even after he denied Jesus Christ 3 times, St Peter found foregiveness, please help me to do what is impossible to me
to believe, foregive me.”

“I do not know if I still have one, but if I still have a guardian angel, please help protect me and aide me to get to confession.”

“St. Mary Magdellan you washed Jesus’ feet with your tears,
please help me to discover God’s real love for me as He sees me not as I see myself.”

Regards
 
Dear The Catholic,

The advise of everyone here is wonderful advise, and I would just add one thing. Make an appointment and get to confession as soon as you are able.

God bless you. I will pray for you also.:gopray:

And to Adoration, be still and know that he is with you, TRUST in HIM. We are all sinners, forgiveness starts within ourselves. Be new, be grateful that our Lord made such a sacrifice that we too as sinners can be redeemed. God Bless you, and keep you strong in body, mind and spirit Mary
 
The_Catholic:

In addition to the other suggestions, read Luke 11:15-32, the parable of the prodigal son.

And Luke 7:36-50 - the repentant woman.

And it says somewhere else (sorry I don’t have the verse) that the angels in heaven rejoice much over a repentant sinner. You will make the angels rejoice and God too!

Dear The Catholic,

Everybody has fallen astray once or two or maybe all the time and felt away from God,but God is a Merciful One.You will not be abandoned by our Merciful God and He always will forgive you whatever sins you have commited.Our Creator know His people are weak and easily fall astray and commit sins again and again,but again and again God has forgiven and has never abandoned us and He always will forgive and never abandon us till the end of time,remember that The Catholic.In return don’t abandon our God regardless sins you’ve commited.

God bless your heart and soul…

PS : If you are ready to move on do pray rosary everyday it’ll
renew and strenghten your faith.
 
There is not a question of God forgiving you. There is only the question of you asking Him to forgive you. There is no sin to great for Him to forgive. His mercy is as great as His love. Your Almighty Father is just waiting for you to turn your back on your sin and come to Him for reconcilliation. What an awesome God He is!!

I will pray for you to have the courage to talk to your priest. All you need to do is confess and repent of your sin.

I wasted five years of my life, away from the Church, because I was too embarrassed to confess a sin (which I had long before repented). One of my greatest regrets in life is not the sin itself (which was serious), but rather that I didn’t trust God enough to forgive me. That almost lead to my self destruction. Please don’t make the same mistake!

I agree. God’s mercy is greater than any sin. Jesus did die for us in the first place. He will always forgive a contrite heart.

Indeed, pray for the courage to and strength to overcome depression. It’s the devil that’s making you feel worthless. Don’t listen to him one bit. You are worth more than that.
 
The Catholic:

I believe that God will use this low time for you to deepen your faith and love for Him (as St. Paul wrote, “where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more”). Knowing that you are away from God itself is a grace that your conscience is working… trust in the immense mercy of God… let His grace be your strength. Be assured of prayers.
 
Thank you all so much my brothers and sisters. 🙂 God bless you all.
