My Temptations

[pgnat1]

Hi Everyone… I am a Catholic teenager who is trying to seek and understand God’s call. However, many temptations have popped up along my path. A lot has been going through my head lately. The temptations have ranged from sexual temptations to people trying to tell me flat out “God does not exist.” I do not want to be arrogant by posting this. I know many others could use prayers more than me, but please keep me in your intentions… Thank you so very much and God bless you all.

I will keep you all in my prayers

I had a time when I could not pray without the “beast” interrupting me, distracting me from my thoughts. It was very hard to keep on communing with God and, for a while, I did stop praying. I then realized that I had given satan exactly what he wanted. I prayed really hard to St. Michael, who helped so much. Say this prayer when things get tough (there’s also a longer form of this prayer):

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have mercy on us.

These sound like fairly normal challenges for someone your age, you are so blessed to have found a place like this where you can educate yourself on your faith…the truth will set you free. So keep praying and seeking and you will make it. Educate yourself with some good books from Catholic Answers!!

The media and peer pressure is hard to stand at your age in an increasingly secular world where consumerism rules.

Be strong, pray often, read the Bible and always be positive.

I shall pray for you and others in your position.

God bless you

Dont’ worry, you’re not the only one who fights with tempations. Our human nature is still imperfect.
