Hi, I’ve been trying very hard through prayer to open up to God, but I just can’t seem to get to that point, I can’t seem to just let go and trust Him… I’m discerning something very difficult right now and I can’t seem to have the courage to just open up to Him about that and not care what the answer is. This has really affected my relationship with God and made it more distant, I am aware that I am not coming closer to Him, and that this is a dangerous way to be. I’m very scared. Please pray for me because I don’t know how to solve this problem anymore 😦 if there’s anything that you could share about God’s mercy that would encourage me to trust in Him… that would be great also. Thank you :hug1:
 
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
 
Well the fact that He died on the cross for us shows that He loves us a lot. So much that He would rather die an excruciating death than see us lost forever. I’ve also heard it said that if even only 1 person- 1 person!!- went astray Jesus would have done the same thing to save just them. Check out my YouTube channel (it can be found in my information on my profile). I made a video about God’s love for us. Maybe that can help demonstrate His mercy in a more visual sense 🙂

Try praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. That could help. Also try praying to Mary. If one comes to her with a contrite heart and a willingness to change, she will pray for them and help them immensely (a good book on this subject is The Glories of Mary by St. Alphonse Ligouri).

I’ll say a prayer for you in the meantime.
 
St. Maria Faustina, pray Monica be able to trust in God and His endless mercy.
 
Monica,

I have seen your thoughtful and encouraging responses to others who were experiencing difficulties. May you feel His arms reach out to you to protect and guide you.

Glory to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen

May the Lord bless us,
protect us from evil,
and bring us to everlasting life. Amen
 
Our Father Who Art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day out daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen
:highprayer:
 
Lord, may Monica pray every day for the trust in you that she truly needs to have a blessed and peaceful life. May she know with conviction that you are all good and most merciful, and that you only desire and will what is best for her. May she know that she is totally in your loving care, and that your goodness and providence are most dependable. May she read St. Fausina’s diary to learn about how incredibly merciful you are to sinners. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Trust God is listening in the big and in the small. He will meet our needs. Listening is the easiest act but for some reason I don’t do it enough. Someone told me last week that GOD WANTS US TO ASK FOR OUR NEEDS TO BE MET- he is OUR FATHER and we can have a conversation with him asking for help and listening for his response. I imagine him holding me in his arms, listening to me, patting my head and taking his time caring for me. He is here.

Our Father Who Art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day out daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen
 
I tried to delete the above because I couldn’t get the link to work. Sorry
