Please pray for me, I am in sore need of your prayers. Please pray that I may have true contrition for my sins and also regain my spiritual strength.
I stumbled about two weeks ago and since then I’ve been falling further and further. In the last two weeks I’ve committed numerous sins, including several mortal sins. Among them was not going to Mass last Sunday simply because it was inconvenient for me at the time. I hardly ever miss Mass so this was quite out of character for me. It is also reflective of my current problems. In the midst of all of this I had also cut off my prayer life almost entirely. I usually pray the rosary every day along with the chaplet of Divine Mercy, and I also talk to God throughout the day when I am grateful for something or realize I need His forgiveness. However, for the past two weeks I’ve barely prayed at all.
I sometimes go through “hot” and “cold” times spiritually. Or what is sometimes called “spiritual dryness”, but this is a bit extreme and seems less like dryness to me than an all out attack by the evil one. I see this now that I am coming to my senses. When having a spiritual dry spell I may feel indifferent about prayer, but this has been outright avoidance rather than indifference.
Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough. I intend to go to confession tomorrow, but I still feel like I need the help of my faithful brothers and sisters. I am feeling quite weak right now and your prayers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
