I know there are many other young people out there who are going through the same thing, so I thought I’d ask for your prayers on behalf of myself and the others.
I’m constantly stressed out with school and my spiritual life. I have to start thinking about what it is I’m going to dedicate my entire life to, but know that I don’t have to make the final decision just yet. It gives me great anxiety in thinking about how there is a possibility that I choose to take a life-long path, at this point in my life, that could leave me miserable in the years to come, with no safety net to fall back on. I pray and pray and don’t seem to grasp a more dominant sense of vocation in my life. I know I need spiritual direction and I plan on getting it soon, but it’s a very frustrating process. Finding time for a healthy balance between both school and the spiritual life can be demanding.
I’m constantly frustrated and in just an overall cranky mood toward my family and sometimes my friends. I am saddened by this, however, because I know that they do not deserve this type of response at all. It’s just the struggles of daily, busy living that get the best of me. I’m already an overall anxious person which can sometimes lead to sad, negative thoughts, but I’m able to handle them. I find some peace in prayer, but I request that you pray for me and all the rest who deal with these types of issues, which is most likely everyone.
And may the Immaculata, the Queen of Heaven, Mary our Blessed Mother, entrusted to our care by Her divine Son on His cross, bring us the peace of mind that we so long for, this joy that can only be found in a life with Her Son.
Praying for all of you, as well!
Pax vobis,
Matt
