Thanks to everyone who have been praying for me.
Things really aren’t going as I planned and am about to give up, how does God know I can bear all of this when I know I can’t and am being pressured?
How can I gain happiness when the things I want aren’t working out and things am uncomfortable with are the only things which seem to be available; I know( well I think) even if I don’t do God’s will He will assist me(when its something good which it is), but it seems as the opposite.

I hate when I’m pressured into doing things, and I don’t like being set back.
How do I know God is hearing me and wants to help me?

Please pray for me am at a really difficult time in my life and I’m praying above all that my faith is victorious overall. I want to have faith but am at a point where I really don’t know what I believe, like am going through the motions sort off.

I tried spiritual direction but the nun I started with we don’t connect and there aren’t much spiritual directors around(it took me about a year to find the present one).
Anyway what am saying please offer a pray for me. Thank you
 
O Lord, we call upon You in our time of sorrow,
That You give us the strength and will to bear our heavy
burdens, until we can again feel the warmth and love of
Your divine compassion. Be mindful of us and have mercy
on us while we struggle to comprehend life’s hardships.

Keep us ever in Your watch, til we can walk again with
light hearts and renewed spirits.

Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, increase in us our Faith, Hope and Charity.

Good Jesus, give me a deep love for Thee, that nothing may be too hard for me to bear from Thee.

Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of Thee.

Heart of Jesus, I put my trust in Thee!

O Jesus, You have called me to suffer because You on Your part suffered for me, leaving me an example that I might follow. When You were insulted, You did not return the insult. When You were mistreated, You did not counter with threats but entrusted Yourself to the One Who judges justly. By Your wounds we are healed. Help me to imitate You in suffering. Let me break with sin by means of my sufferings, so that I may no longer live according to the lusts of sinners but according to the will of the Father. Since You Yourself have suffered and been tempted, I know that You are able to bring aid to all who suffer and are tempted. I entrust myself to You and to the Father, my Creator, knowing that You will never fail me. Amen.

God bless you, Theresaavey.
 
Theresa, you have my prayers dear. Just keep holding onto the Lord, no matter what. Keep asking for His direction and He will give it.
 
Sometimes it really feels so ubearable and we cannot take anymore. But God knows us and will only give us what we can bear. In other words, to one he may have long pain suffering and to another he may just have a shorter pain because that is the maximum he can bear.

Do not forget that when we are at our weakest, we become stronger. When we are at our lowest ebb, others who pray for us help to carry our cross. This is the community support.

Only God can see the bigger picture and ahead. What you want may not be what He sees as good for you in the future. Hence you are not getting it.

Accept the will of God. Do not put up a resistance and you will not feel pressured. Go along with the flow and just let the Holy Spirit guide you with the gentle breeze. Live for the moment and pray and read good books.

When we feel low we do not always feel we have the faith hence we need our church to help carry our cross. God loves you even when you are down.

You will be in my prayers.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
Lord, grant your comforting angels to Theresa as her faith is tried during the difficult times in this fallen, perverse world. Grant her the grace to bear the crosses she has been dealt, that the burden thus become light. Magnify in her the virtues of faith, fortitude, magnanimity, and joy. Mary, pray with us. Amen. :harp:

Lord God, I lift up to Your loving mercy theresaavey. Please bless her with the graces she needs at this time. Give her strength, fortitude and an abiding faith in You. Grant her wisdom and knowledge so as to discern Your plans for her life. Open her heart and her mind to Your message. All these I ask in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. AMEN

Hello theresavey, I am praying for you. I recieved this email reflection this evening and thought that you might appreciate the message also. May God bless you as you carry your crosses. Amen.

The Blessing of the Cross

In the cross is salvation, in the cross is life, in the cross is protection from enemies, in the cross is influsion of heavenly sweetness, in the cross is strength of mind, in the cross if the joy of spirit, in the cross is highest virtue, in the cross is perfect holiness. There is no salvation of soul nor hope of everlasting life but in the cross…

Behold, the cross is everything, and upon your dying on the cross everythings depends. There is no other way of life and to true inward peace than the way of the holy cross and daily mortification. Go where you will, seek what you will, you will not find a higher way, nor a less exalted but safer way, than the way of the holy cross. Arrange and order everthing to suit your will and judgement, and still you will find that some suffering must be borne, willingly or unwillingly, and thus you will always find the cross…

The cross, therefore, is always ready; it awaits you everywhere. No matter where you go, you can not escape it, for wherever you take yourself with you and shall always find yourself. Turn where you will - above, below, without, or within - you will find a cross in everything, and everywhere you must have patience if you would have peace within and merit an eternal crown.

If you carry the cross willingly, it will carry and lead you to the desired goal where indeed there shall be no more suffering.
