Hello all, this is my first “request” i guess. I feel a little guilty asking for prayers, but i think i need some. I’m a catecumen and i’m doing my best. I am so excited to finally have found my home. I feel as if for the first 22 years of my life there was this big secret that no one ever thought to let me in on.

Anyways, long story short I am battling with sin. It’s disgusting and I feel so weak. Has anyone ever been severely tempted? And they knew it was wrong, and knew the consequences, and did their hardest, but ended up doing it anyway? And felt bad doing it, but did it anyway? And even before during and after rationalized that they were going to confession the next day? This is all new to me, and I just feel so disappointed in myself.

It’s so bad that i’m downright afraid to pray, does God listen to our prayers after a mortal sin?

I need some help!

Thank you everyone, hopefully in the future i can turn it around and help you guys out 😃

My prayers are for you and that you may fight this battle and come out victorious. With God, anything is possible.
 
I’m praying Jesus will help you to focus on Him and not on your temptation - that to me if the first step in overcoming sin. God bless.
 
I have been in your shoes, many of us have. The best thing to do is pray pray pray. Even after mortal sin. With God’s grace you can overcome sin.

I will pray for you:

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.

God Bless
In Jesus through Mary

My dear Friend you are walking down a path that all of us walk. Anyone who says they are not tempted from time to time is lying. We are all in the same boat. To help with the temptation a Friend of mine described temptation as such: We can not control what comes in our mind in the form of temptation but we can control what we dwell on and let fester. Redirection is key to salvation. To repent from a sin is to turn away from the sin. (easier said than done 🙂 ) My prayers are with you. Oh yeah I wanted to remind you that you are loved as you are. God will always hear you. It says in Scripture that,

Romans 5​

8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

That to me is unconditional love.
 
You are not alone on your journey, my friend! Here’s one sinner that will be praying very hard for you! Pray without ceasing. Think or read about the Saints whenever you get really down on yourself for giving in to temptation. They were not always Saints, you know. 😉 St Augustine just popped into my mind - catholic-forum.com/saints/sainta02.htm

I will pray to our Blessed Mother for you.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.
 
Thank you all so so much! Last night i managed to get through a rosary, albeit a little depressed.

I will pray for all of you as well, that we can all overcome this terrible terrible thing (whatever your tendencies to sin may be).

I read the prodigal son parable, and that helped me out.

Thank you very much everyone, you will be in my prayers as well.

Even St. Paul struggled with this, and he tells about it in the Bible.
usccb.org/nab/bible/romans/romans7.htm Start reading at verse 14 and you’ll see. You are not alone. Do not give up hope! Jesus will set you free, but sometimes this freedom comes in baby-steps. Praying for you.

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.

God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
 
You are in my prayers because I know this road. It has happened to me more than once. After going to confession last Sunday though, I feel free from all of that. Just remember that God’s love is greater than any love on Earth and that he does have the heart to forgive you.

Jesus Christ, please help this person in recovery and in her walk towards the Church. Please let her know your love that she may forgive herself as you have forgiven her. Amen.

I just finished a longer post in reply to your request, but it wouldn’t register. So let me just say that I have been praying for you since I read your request. And that I find the Parable of the Prodigal Son to be extremely helpful. It shows how approachable our Father is, and how very much He loves us.

Don’t let satan keep you away from God by letting him (satan) make your shame more powerful than your need for God.

Hello everyone, thank you all for your prayers, i truly needed them. I did a confession today, it was amazing! There was adoration before so i had 25 minutes with the Lord, it was so healing. I know all those who prayed for me helped, it was so hard to walk into the confessional (only my 2nd one ever!), but all of your help was with me.

Don’t ever be afraid of the confessional, I am renewed.

Thank you all, in the future if you need prayers please p.m me or just post, i must repay the good will…

God bless and merry Christmass

Praise God! I am so happy for you!

After 43 years ( I fell away from the Church for about 15 years :bigyikes: ), I still get butterflies in my stomach when I go to confession. I suppose I always will.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
