Contrabass101

Guest
I would like you to pray for my situation.

I am experiencing something that -if I had a bit higher thoughts of my stage the spiritual life and myself in general- would call the “dark night of the soul”. I don’t believe, however, that I quite qualify, so… well…

The point is, that I’m in a state of spiritual distress and unrest.

Some moths ago, I made a decision, which I have very much regretted. It was a choice about what to do from then and until June. I chose not to continue on the Bible school I was on, and instead finding a job. To make a long story short, I don’t like the job I got, and I only got part time. I don’t see the point in making the money either, since I don’t really need them at the moment.

I also appeared far less self-disciplined than I had (naïvely?) believed I was, so my routines from Bible school (morning prayer, quiet time etc.) have vanished almost completely.

Furthermore, I am getting cold feet in regards to actually joining the Catholic Church and likewise am beginning to doubt the Christian faith in general.

I am as a consequence of all this, a bit depressed.

Pray that God’s will may happen, also in my life. That he will use what I have in whatever way he sees fit.
Pray also for an opportunity for me to talk to a Catholic priest.
Pray that i may be able to be open about this to my parents.

Praying for your intentions:

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.

God Bless
In Jesus through Mary

God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Author of glory,grant me spiritual wisdom and revelation,Enlighten the eyes of my mind with a deep knowledge of you and your holy will.May I understand of what nature is the hope to which you call me,what is the wealth of the splendor of your inheritance among the Saints,and what is the surpassing greatness of your power towards me.In the name of Jesus Your Son who lives and reigns in unity with the Holy Spirit with you.
 
Contrabass101, the Lenten season was especially poignant this year. Many were suffering as never before. You are included in that count. Offer your suffering up to our Lord Jesus as a penance for sin. Remain faithful, even to the point of pain, as you will be rewarded by the Most High God. Remember that, the closer you come to God, the more relentless the attacks from the evil one become. You might offer a spiritual warfare prayer up, as they are very effective against such attacks. In any event, now that the Lord loves you so much that He is allowing you to be tested. That itself is cause for praise, as He has found you worthy of testing for the Kingdom. Our prayers will be behind you and we lift you up to Him.

Father of Providence, You created Contrabass101 as an irreplaceable part of Your Divine Plan. Graciously provide Heavenly strength at this time of testing. Command that Saint Michael the Archangel defend Contrabass101 in battle against the evil forces that seek the destruction of the soul. Hear our prayer that the burning faith this heart will be rekindled by the winnowing fan of Christ, our Savior. We ask this through the same Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
