Our Lord God has shown me **How Powerful His Hand **is that I should have never provoked Him to anger.
I have written in some thread what happened to me last year. Though, I would not go into its details, I would just narrate here how I was shown how Powerful and Mighty is God’s Hands.
I have been living a sinful life since childhood. But my sins became graver in the year 2000. I lost God, I lost my prayers, I sinned and sinned and sinned, became very lustful, wordly, proud, miserable and totally away from the grace of God.
For the past several yeras, I earned a lot of money from my projects as an engineer. And I should say, despite my sinful life God filled my pocket with overflowing financial graces. It was like that for the past six years (2000 to 2006). And I was very happy of course, becaus I was worldly. But in the year 2007, I made a wrong decision (though I would not detail its nature). It caused the faucet of the overflowing financial graces to be suddenly closed. Anyhow, I said to myself, “I still have savings, so it does not matter.”
Then in the middle of 2007, I invested half of my savings on a business which I thought would generate more money. But it did not turn out to be that well. Anyhow, I said to myself, “It is OK since I still have half of my initial savings.”
In the last quarter of 2007, my mother was hospitalized. She died after two months of hospitalization. After this, all my savings were drained out and I was left with loans which I am still paying now.
These events struck me so hard down, almost trampled under foot, that I surrendered myself completely to God.
After God brought me back to grace, during my prayers(especially with the Rosary) I was made to understand completely about the things that occurred recently in my life.
Here are the things that God enabled me to understand:
I thank the Mary - The Holy Mother of God, my Queen for interceding for my soul in those times. Had I not prayed the Rosary and had she not intercede for me, I believe everything could have been worst and I would be able to return to grace.
May God and Blessed Mother of God give you bountiful graces.

After God brought me back to grace, during my prayers(especially with the Rosary) I was made to understand completely about the things that occurred recently in my life.
Here are the things that God enabled me to understand:
- I continued to ignore God after so many callings and inspirations from above to leave my sinful life and return to Him, after several warnings, after series of my friend’s deaths, after my very own sickness. Thus, God was provoked to anger.
- I also realized that God is very generous, infinitely good and very slow to anger. That for God to be angry with me and to be provoked to take back the life of my very own heart …my mother, I must have really offended Him.
- I became dependent and secured with my money, and so first, God has willed me to make a wrong decision, in order to close the source of my income, so that my savings would no longer increase.
- Secondly, He allowed me to invest half of my money and not generate much income in order to split my savings into half.
- And then, when the final strike of God’s Hand came to me, I was scattered, in a snap all my savings were swept away. And now I was left with loans I am still paying.
- Te Lord God showed me how foolish I was for :
- depending on money for security. The truth - God is the only security we have;
- thinking that death is still very far since I am still young. The truth - Death is just nearby to each one of us, so we must mend our lives and direct them towards heaven;
- Lastly, God also showed me how much He loves a sinner like me. For despite all the things that happened to me last year, everything is a blessing, because He brought me back from sinfulness to His grace.
I thank the Mary - The Holy Mother of God, my Queen for interceding for my soul in those times. Had I not prayed the Rosary and had she not intercede for me, I believe everything could have been worst and I would be able to return to grace.
May God and Blessed Mother of God give you bountiful graces.
