I keep failing to trust God in the midst of trials. I dont want to grumble about what’s happening because I already have done it to my own detriment. As a result of my grumbling and reining against God, I’m going through mental torment and instability. I’m afraid of losing my soul and my mind and I’m filled with confusion and terror.
 
Please feel free to talk to make an appointment with a priest and discuss your concerns.

May the Lord bless you on your spiritual journey! He loves you unconditionally!
 
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. :gopray:
 
I agree with Dorothy and seek counsel with yor priest. I offer my prayers for you and your intentions.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and
snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, thrust into hell satan, and
all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. 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 death.
Amen.
 
Thank you all for your prayers. I have e-mailed my priest to ask to schedule an appointment. I believe that I’m in mortal sin. It seems like God has been trying to ween my off of my overattachment to the things I have done for pleasure and my dreams of the life I had always imagined for myself, and yesterday I just couldn’t stop coveting the things I was being asked to give up in order to embrace God’s will. Eventually I started grumbling at God and WANTED to imagine Him as cruel, petty and unforgiving. I realize I sinned the same way that the Israelites did, and even after the rosary I just prayed it seems like I can’t repent and get back up the way I usually do. I feel hellish right now, and I just want to escape this attitude I have because it will result in me being separated from God.

It really seems like what happened last night and this morning have resulted in a large setback in my relationship with God. My efforts since then to get back into a good place with Christ has been really difficult. I keep having this sense that I’m holding something back from Christ, and I’m struggling with fear of finding out what that is. This feels a lot like chastisement, like I’m going to have to go through a period of discipline to get back to where I was before all of this. I wanted to ask for prayer that I might be effectively sorry for my sins and that God would give me the grace and fortitude to do whatever I need to do to get through this period that may be ahead. I hope that when I get confirmed, and recieve the sacraments, this cycle of failure might end and I can finally become a true disciple (honestly I am struggling with even wanting that because of how painful that will be, but I know it’s worth it).

To summarize, I wanted to ask if you could please pray that God might have mercy on me, and give me a love for Him that won’t fail, especially during times when He seems to be asking more of me than I am prepared to give. I should love Him more than anything I am asked to give up, but these failed tests confirm that I have a divided heart. At this point, all I have is a servile love for God, and He is worth more than that.

Thank you for listening to my troubles, and thank you all for your prayers for me.

Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are 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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end
Amen.
