Please pray for me.

I am struggling on many fronts right now. I feel overwhelmed and alone. I know God loves me and is with me, but I feel as if He is so distant from me right now. I barely have the strength to pray or to carry out my daily responsibilities. I’ve been dealing with these problems off and on for several months now. I’m receiving help, but so far it’s not working.

Hi,

St Theresa of Lisieux said she felt dryness in her spiritual life because in her own words " Jesus isn’t doing much to keep the conversation going".

It is natural, but perserverence bears fruits, Remember nothing happens without His knowledge and He trust you so much that He allows you to be purified and strengthend. So be cheerful. And great strenth is been given when we learn to say “Praise God for this” even at the worst of our times. You will see the change.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Cordially,

Joe

Let go, and let God handle it all. Keep working, etc. But stop worrying.

Offer up your suffering in reparation for sins (Redemptive Suffering).
 
Sometimes when I am struggling most … God sings … I know that sounds off the wall … but He sings songs like “Have I told you Lately that I Love You?” … try to find a little time to listen to some music …🤷
 
Lord, I am so happy that Leastofthese knows that you love him/her and are with him/her. Even though he/she doesn’t feel you near he/she knows that you are still here loving him/her. Please help Leastofthese to know that our feelings aren’t what’s important in the spiritual life but our willingness to keep faithful when our feelings lead us to believe we are all alone in our difficulties. May Leastofthese place all of his/her trust in your merciful love and be totally abandoned to your merciful love. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
 
“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands”

Isaiah 49:15-16

The Lord will never leave you, and you are His.

Praying for you,
Mark
 
You sound a bit worn out by your troubles so naturally God seems far, your emotions are too bruised by the struggles. I know how it is. I get that way. It’s been a couple of years of struggle on various counts, three quite serious…so my heart goes out to you.
And the weariness of it all does make daily responsibilities seem overwhelming sometimes. You may not be as alone as you feel.
My love and prayer, Trishie
 
Thank you all for your charitable prayers. For the first time in a long time I’ve felt a slight relief and I am certain that your prayers helped to bring this about. I don’t imagine the problems I’m struggling with will be resolved anytime soon, but I have faith that God will see me through all of this. A favorite quote from Blessed Mother Teresa comes to mind right about now: “I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.” 🙂
 
Prayed for you leastofthese…

Lord, I believe:
I wish to believe in Thee.
Lord, let my faith be full and unreserved,
and let it penetrate my thought,
my way of judging Divine things and human things.
Lord, let my faith be joyful
and give peace and gladness to my spirit,
and dispose it for prayer with God
and conversation with men,
so that the inner bliss of its fortunate possession
may shine forth in sacred and secular conversation.
Lord, let my faith be humble and not presume
to be based on the experience of my thought and of my feeling;
but let it surrender to the testimony of the Holy Spirit,
and not have any better guarantee than in docility to Tradition
and to the authority of the magisterium of the Holy Church.
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.

We all feel like this at times. I hope things improve soon. God never leaves us. Praying for you.

God bless you,
Clare

Lord, lift this young man up and let him feel your presence. Draw him closer to you when he hasn’t the words or the strength to do so himself. You can comfort him and bring him through when everything else is taking a toll on him. Help him in all his struggles and responsibilities and so that his life may settle down into a gentle rhythm of peace. I ask this through the intercession of Your Most Beloved Mother, Mary.

I just want to thank you all again for your charitable prayers. I’ve been too busy to check in on CAF for a bit and was surprised (though I shouldn’t have been) and touched by the number of people who remembered me in their prayers since I last logged on.

Since the time of my post the Lord has heard my prayers and yours. At the precise moments when I needed most to hear some words of appreciation, of assurance, of helpful correction, I got them. The timing, the way things were worded, and the specific people who spoke to me completely unsolicited make it impossible for me to see anything but God’s loving hand in all of this.

My problems haven’t magically vanished and I am still struggling, but the Lord has made my burden light and made His love for me so clear (not only through the recent helps I’ve received, but internally I can feel His unconditional love).

Thanks again for your prayers. And thanks be to God for the loving help He gives to sinners like me.
