Ready to die

[clairdelune7]

I’m so exhausted. I just don’t feel i have the ability to fight through all these daily battles.
I know that my issue is lack of spiritual strength and trust in the Lord.

The Lord told us that following in his path would not be the easy road, but the long hard road and that we as Christians would be persecuted. Case in point the Lord knows I will get through all of this, and gives me obstacles that I may grow, but I am just ready to give up and cease to exist; I am so tired. And there is such a long life ahead.

I feel the Lord isn’t in my heart and my spirit is so weak

I want to find joy, peace and trust in the Lord

I want to find joy, peace and trust in the Lord

The challenge and hard part is this…
Understanding that “joy peace and trust in the Lord” isnt the same kind of joy and peace and trust that our culture has defined…

It’s not about this life.

Please don’t give up. Yes, being a Christian is a long, hard road. Believing in and following the rules of Someone you can’t see is an extremely difficult task, but people have managed it for thousands of years, even when others try so hard to pull them from their beliefs.
Be strong. Keep praying even if you feel like no one is listening. Surf these forums, read spiritual books, be happy and grow in your faith.
Praying for you. :hug1:

Take it one day at a time, one thing.

well at least you know where you are weak, lacking spiritual strength and trust in the Lord.

people here will give you plenty of good advice, mine is; to find a priest in your area an schedule a time to meet with him to just talk. Who better than a priest or even a deacon to help you build that spiritual strength an trust in the Lord that you desire.

Don’t give up, a lot of us feel like giving up and we have to persevere there is no giving up.

My prayer for you :

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hollowed 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.

Don’t give up. Keep the faith. You are not alone, God is with you every moment of your life. You are a child of God and He loves you. Keep praying for spiritual strength. I’m praying to the Holy Spirit for you. God bless.

O Lord,
My heart is not proud, nor haughty my eyes
I have not gone after things too great,
Nor marvels beyond me
Truly I have set my soul,
In Silence and Peace,

At last, like a child in a mother’s arm
So is my soul.

Let yourself rest in the Lord’s arms. Perhaps set smaller goals for this year. Whatever is distressing You, be sure it is not the Enemy lying to you. Trust someone to view your problems through other eyes. PM if you want.

Today I was reminded that the Sacraments bring us closer to Jesus, and He tells us that true happiness comes from the 8 Beatitudes:

1. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
2. Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land.
3. Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted
4. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill
5. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy
6. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God
7. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God
8. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

Also, when I feel down, these songs really help cheer me up and inspire me!
Don’t give up, You are loved - youtube.com/watch?v=I-G8IfjPAII
You raise me up - youtube.com/watch?v=aJxrX42WcjQ
Brave - youtube.com/watch?v=dyAfjUHlFSM

Don’t feel sad, its not worth it. God put you here for a reason! When you feel lonely, talk to family, go and adore Christ in the Eucharist, talk to a priest or friend that you can trust to help you see the beauty in life. There is so much to love in the world, even in the most unexpected places. Pray constantly. Pray the rosary daily! God brings peace and joy to everything. Pray so that you can trust in Him! May God bless you!

You’re in my prayers,
Sarmad

I don’t know you or your age. But, if you are suffering from chronic and/or severe fatigue you need to see a doctor. There are a lot of things that cause this and there may be a hidden answer to your sense of exhaustion, besides spiritual struggles.

One example that causes a lot of people such suffering is sleep apnea. Please see your doctor for a general physical.

PRAY!-no matter how you feel about it.

I suggest telling Jesus about it personally in the flesh. Seriously.

I have more info. about Eucharistic Adoration Which is what I am going to suggest for you here if interested. Or . . .

. . . Go to an Adoration chapel and tell Jesus in the flesh what you just told everyone else here. Then just sit and be still for a half an hour (or even an hour if you are up to it). There is almost certainly an Adoration Chapel near you (here, or here).

More info. on this here.

Try going back once or twice a week and without asking for anything – just worship Jesus (yes ask for things sometimes too and tell Him you are sorry for any sins you have committed and be sure and thank Him for everything but sometimes just go to sit and be with Jesus and worship Him. He will give you what you need.).

Hope this helps.

God bless.
