I’m new to this forum but I want to get back on track and deepen my relationship to God. My life has been getting better in one part, but worse in another or slowing decreasing. I can feel it for some reason. It has probably been because I stopped going to church, but I started going again and I feel a little happier that I committed my self to go. I feel like I’m searching for something or longing for something but just don’t know what it is… I want God to help me find it. I also want that he helps to heal my mother and make life easier for her, as she is having some problems with her liver and Needs a transplant but is to expensive( I think she pays for me to go to catholic school). Im sorry if this sounds crazy or dumb I’m a very complex person and don’t open up at all. I feel different at times about how I feel depending on my mood. (My mother is catholic and goes to church every sunday)

I want God to help my mother’s health and help her find a better Job to support our family.
I want God to help make my life better, in both my view and his view.(I want things like to lose weight, build muscles, be better in basketball)
I want God to help me do better in school and back on track.
I want God to protect me from evil and the devil.( I just got robbed today…)
 
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.
 
Loving Father, Giver of life, we beseech You to have mercy on your servant and our sister. May she find comfort in Your love through her very young son.

We also beg for the grace of a discerning heart for Your young pilgrim son, so that he may be able to recognize Your will and Your love in his search.

We ask You this, through Your Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
 
Hi. First of all, I’ve come back to my faith in the last 2 years. This website and forum is one of the principle reasons for that re-conversion. Working hand-in-hand with the Holy Spirit, it lit a fire in my heart and in my mind. Now I just crave the knowledge I receive from his Church on a daily basis (I have to constantly remind myself to show the same enthusiasm for prayer, sometimes all I want to do is read and learn Catholic theology all day!!!).

That said, even though I’m 39 and a life long Catholic (13 years in Catholic school), I feel like I’ve had to relearn my faith. As such, I can’t give you advice from the standpoint of an expert but more as a brother on the same walk you’re on right now. Trying to find the answers, trying to let him lead me to truth, and learning from people that more spiritually mature than I am. So take my advice with that caution.

God is calling you. He longs for you. He knows every hair on your head. He loves you more than you do. He’s known of you since the beginning of time. He wants you to give your entire life over to him. He wants you to spend time with him in prayer (imagine this… you have to make an appointment to get a lousy haircut, yet you get a forum with the creator of the universe at any time of your choosing… wow, we are blessed!). But also understand that our ways are not God’s ways, and he is on his own timetable. Be patient. And don’t give up! Our spiritual walks can be emotional highs one minute and grind-it-outs the next. This is true for everyone, not just you. So don’t despair, but have hope that the Lord will not let your efforts go to waste!

Take this one day at a time. Perhaps set some goals for yourself? Pray a couple of times a day, maybe a rosary once a week, and if you are in a state of grace please get to mass and receive communion regularly (if not in a state of grace, go to confession!). A few steps forward, and occasional step backwards, but if you keep it up-- watch what he can do with your life. Some day you will cry when you realize that the Lord was always present in the darkness, but you were spiritually asleep and barely recognized him.

I could go on, but this is enough. I have lifted you and your mother up in prayer. May God bless you both, and clothe you in his Holy Spirit. God Bless!!
 
Praying for you and your mother.

Here is a prayer for you and your mother…

Grant, O Lord, Thy protection
And in protection, strength
And in strength, understanding
And in understanding, knowledge
And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice
And in the knowledge of justice, the love of it
And in the love of it, the love of all existences
And in that love, the love of spirit and all creation.
 
Lord, please help Idkkid678 to live a life of faith. Grant him/her the graces he/she needs to persevere in grace. May he/she pray a lot and continue to receive you every week in holy communion. Grant him/her your love so he/she will love you and others to the max. Please heal his/her mother in accordance with your holy and adorable will. Grant her the graces she needs to carry her crosses faithfully. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
