Please pray for me

Hello all,
Please pray that the Lord bring sorrow to my heart.I have had a difficult year.I went through a divorce,my sister was diagnosed with cancer. I have been engaging in all kinds of sinful behavior since,and even back to smoking,which i had quit for years,and drinking at night. i want to be cleansed from all of this and back in Gods graces,but I dont feel sad enough I guess and its whats stopping me from going to reconciliation. I feel like my heart is hardened.
All prayers would help,and any advice you may have.
Thank you

I’m sorry for your situation, but His Mercy is greater than your sins. If you truly want to reconnect with the Father of all Mercy; go directly to the cross and lay it all out at Jesus’s feet before you tackle confession I think. Then you will know what to do, I will pray for you

I will pray for you. I am praying very fervently for another intention for myself and my son so I will unite those prayers with yours. Keep in mind that your reaching out to this forum is a small step toward reconciliation. You see the need for forgiveness and believe in His mercy or you would not be asking for prayers. Pray for the healing of your conscience. The life of sin is temporarily fun. But ultimately leads to sorrow and destruction. Remember the abundance that God promises to those who love Him. Come back to Him. He will show you the abundance. In His precious mercy we pray. Amen.

Beth, I know this will sound strange, but thank God that He loves you so much as to give you a Good Friday in your life! Without it, you can’t get to heaven. We can either have our heaven here on earth in this life, or in the next. The next is for all eternity.

That being said, you are in my prayers. May God show you mercy and support you in all your sufferings (which you should offer up in reparation for sin -VERY powerful -called redemptive suffering).

You heart isn’t as hard as you think it is. After all you are already seeking a way to forgiveness through your post here. It sounds a little to me like you don’t think you’re worthy of reconciliation. God doesn’t worry about that though. All He worries about is that your soul should find peace in Him.

Jesus said “Peace I give you. My peace I leave you. A peace the world cannot give. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.”

If you seek reconciliation with Our Lord in the Confessional, He WILL give you his Peace. Do not deny yourself this wonderful and redeeming grace. It’s yours and is just waiting for you to ask for it.

Jesus isn’t waiting to condemn you. He’s waiting, through the priest acting 'in persona Christi", in the Confessional. The only thing He asks you is to come to Him and be loved.
