That little sentence keeps going through my mind lately. So now I’m wondering how exactly does one search within one’s heart as it pertains to a relationship with God and what exactly do I need to do? Am I doing something wrong? Did I neglect to take care of something that I should have?

Does one just pray and think…what exactly do you do to search within your heart? I would appreciate some direction, (name removed by moderator)ut, advice on this subject.

Thank you!
 
You have received a great gift. God often gives just small, very succinct, yet very pointed instructions like this to us.

Unfortunately there is no “instruction manual” to go along with these “key” phrases of guidence. So it is very hard for anyone else, especially on an open forum, to offer much help.

Obviously there is something God wishes you to learn. Just what we cannot say.
My suggestion would be to begin with prayer for discernment.
Couple this with reading Scripture - The Gospels in particular.
See how that the praying and reading call to mind. It might be specific things done or not done, but it might be more general - just a sense of how your general outlook effects your spiritual life.
Then seek to simply be near to God in your thoughts and rest in His presence. Don’t cling to a single thought or insight but let it come to you, impress you and then move on…
Make this a daily routine.

This is how one is open to the Spirit and how one learns the deep insights that can truly change one’s life.

What I’ve written above is a snmall part of the great wisdom shared in the book that I recommend in my signature. If you can get ahold of it, I think you will find it to be of immense help.

Peace
James
I hope that this helps.
 
Thank you! That is a tremendous help, more than you will ever know. I’m going to follow your advice and get that book as well.
 
Pray as often as you are able.Also if you can recieve the Eucharist more often and even confess.Since the sacraments give grace is a good idea.
 
I just try to think about what I’m doing with my life and try to make sense of it all. That’s it. 😛
