Dear friends,
Please pray for me. I am in an extremely complicated and difficult situation.
God has said that He will NOT allow us to be tested beyond what we can bear,
but it sure seems like that is happening to me.

I have committed many, many sins since my baptism, and since Catholic confirmation, and I know we “reap what we sow,” but some of these things were done unintentionally and in total, TOTAL innocent ignorance. Yet it is those latter which could cause the most problems.

Please ask God to grant me,
a New, Clean Heart (as King David asked for in Psalm 51 ), and a “right” and
courageous spirit, not afraid at all to do the Right Thing, once God has revealed it to me,
regardless of any consequences to myself.
Please ask God to thoroughly wash and purge all sin from me via the blood of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and powerful thorough Repentance. I must have supernatural help for this, as I am very weak spiritually and always have been. I also need to go to Confession, I know, BUT, going to Confession WITHOUT FIRST experiencing Divinely-granted powerful repentance, would be fruitless, and we all know that.
ALSO,
I am in a situation where I am holding back some information from people I care about.
It makes me feel like I am “lying” to them, and all liars will end up in the Lake of Fire.
The problem is, what do I do? If I tell them this information, it could very well destroy their lives I believe, And I don’t want THAT, either. So this is a “Catch-22” situation.
A No-Win situation. If I say certain things, I could destroy someone, but at least
my own conscience would feel better. I think it is horrible to be placed in this situation, especially as I did NOTHING knowingly or intentionally to bring this situation about.
I believe that harming someone by revealing information is JUST AS WICKED, if not MORE so, than holding the info back. So please, please pray for me that God will give me the Wisdom to do the right thing, whatever it is, and that God will not permit,
anyone to suffer ANYTHING because of my failings, especially as my failings were utterly unawares, unknowing, and utterly unintentional. And God knows THAT, too.
Thank you and God bless.
 
My prayers are with you but you need the special attention of a Spiritual Director (a parish priest) to sort out your sins and spiritual confusion. Then you need to go to confession to give a thorough list of your confessed sins.
 
May the Lord grant you courage, contrition, and wisdom. May you go to confession because even if you are only sorry for your sins due to a fear of hell this is enough contrition for the sacrament to be valid (it’s called imperfect contrition, and it suffices - you only have to be resolved never to commit the sin again). May you know that using “mental reservations” is permitted and is not a sin. I don’t know if you are actually lying or using a mental reservation by not disclosing information. May the Lord help you to do his will in this situation. May you speak with a priest and ask him if what you are doing is merely engaging in mental reservation or lying. If you are lying, may you find some other way to deal with your situation. If you are only using a mental reservation, may you not worry in the least. Amen.
 
Jaypeeto4, I am praying for you and all of your intentions. May our Merciful Father grant you comfort and peace.

Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity,
of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

May God grant you wisdom as he granted Solomon, but may you use it better than he did! Praying for you at Mass and during the Intercessions of Evening Prayer.
 
Thank you all so very much.

I am so freaked out.
Sometimes it really feels that the devil has taken my soul.
OR, that God has killed it.
Either way, I can’t tell the difference, the effect is the same.

I remember around May of 2010, I was feeling really scared and worthless because by then I had been without a job for over a year and there were no prospects. Then, while watching sermons, etc, on EWTN and other Christian broadcasts, while watching the programs I suddenly started feeling CONDEMNED (not merely “convicted,” which can be a good thing, but condemned) by the content of the talks. It was as if God were suddenly revealing to me the worthlessness of my soul. It came as a complete, heartbreaking surprise, and things only got worse from there.
My folks deserved a much much better son than me. My sister deserves an infinitely better brother. Sometimes I don’t want to even try to go on, it seems so futile.
I don’t want to suicide, but sometimes I feel everyone else would be better
off if I did, and I regularly pray to die in my sleep and go to purgatory.
So your holy prayers are much, much needed and VERY VERY MUCH appreciated.
God’s richest mercies to all of you. Thank you so very much.
 
Lord please surround and filled this, Your loved son, with Your healing light and love

Jesus, the ongoing suffering of my imperfections and failures, of continuing trials, of loneliness, loss, sickness, and pain sometimes overwhelms me. Jesus Your life was filled with many sufferings, please accept my sufferings with Yours and offer them to the Father.

Please help me to remain faithful even when things seem hopeless and I feel abandoned by God, as You did when Your cried out from the cross, "my God, my God, why have You abandoned me?

Jesus, even when we feel devastated or despondent, we desire to pray with trust and continue to live in practical charity and prayer for others.
Help me to accept humbly, without surprise or disappointment that I seem imperfect and unfruitful, and that life seems dark and gloomy.

Empower me to live Your dream of me regardless. Let me be the treasure You created me to be, for You and for anyone in my life. Please delight Yourself in me and fulfil Your will in my life regardless of my inadequacies in both my joys and my trials.
