Is this possibly the Devil's work?

Hi,

I’ve been noticing that I’ve been able to do a lot of good things lately for people, and have been getting a lot of people to start praying more and ask each other for prayers and to forgive people they’ve been bitter at and stuff. And I just feel like I am getting physically sick and nauseous the more I do this. As I said in another post, I get queezy when I start to pray the Rosary. Right now I am going to pray it and I just feel like throwing up, literally vomiting. I did not feel like this until I told my friend I was going to pray a Rosary for him.

I am reading your responses to my posts, and I am trying to take them all into account, but I just feel physically sick right now. It seems that whenever I get the sense that I am doing God’s will, and that I am bringing people closer to got I get these severe nausea attacks and severe migraines and such. I can’t even explain what I feel like right now. I just want to go lie down. I want to pray the Rosary and I am going to try to, but it seems that every time I even THINK of the words of the Sign of the Cross I feel like I am going to throw up, and the only explanation I can think of is the Devil doing everything he can to keep me from praying it. Just keep praying and praying and praying. I feel dizzy right now, and I need to send this becuse I need your prayers and to stop typing.
 
Go to your priest. This sounds like something beyond the advice we can offer here.

You are in my prayers.
 
It could be a million things…from legitmatly connected stress (It can be very overwhelming to take on all those problems) to it being cold season and you getting run down and sick.

First, make sure you’re physically healthy (eg. physical) if there are no physical reasons make sure you’re not running yourself into the ground.

Once all physical and social reasons have been eliminated then look at the spiritual. Very likely it’s one of the first two.
 
Call on your Guardian Angel before you pray the Rosary.

Angel of God, my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day, be at my side
to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.
 
What’d you eat for breakfast? Or not eat for breakfast. Take your temperature, you might be coming down with the flu.
 
Well sir, I had a similar situation, years ago I was overdoing myself. I ended up in the hospital, and it sent me to the mental health part of a very good Catholic hospital. I thought it was the devil, too just put myself out there everyone else. I was not thinking of myself, as the saying goes " first take care of you first, then WHEN you HAVE THE TIME for other. I am only a consumer of mental health, knowing from others also my experiences, burnout will eat you up so to speak. So be a little selfish; means you come first, then others will follow. Whether seek advice from your Medical Doctor then you may ask him, whether you need to mental outpatient consolidation. I cannot speak for you, take the steps or not. Believe me both all is okay speak too a psychiatrist. Sometimes it is even hard to pray to God or not. Time to time it hits me too. You may see a priest, as well. You will get better. Trust in the Lord, he will see you through it, I imagine even the Apostles needed time off, from helping, teaching others, so always remember, it is a fight, just say to God " help me, please help me." sometimes it is all one can say/ HE hears you. so go onwards for God and you. 👍🤷
 
Lord, may Joshua discuss this problem with a good holy priest and with his doctor. May he pray short ejaculations, and try praying one rosary a day until he gets better. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
You never know for sure without “ruling out” via good Catholic open doctors. If not any mental or physical problems, yes it can be the evil one. I will pray for discernment for you.

a more likely explanation is that you are coming down with something, or you have not been eating right, or that you may be having anxiety attacks. Demonic activity is the least likely therefore the last explanation to consider, until you rule out other more probable answers. meanwhile, when you feel unable to pray, we’ll pray for you
