Sometime I question my faith

As many of us go through difficult times, we tend to turn to prayer and try to leave it in God’s hands. Well, it seems (seems being an important word) that prayers are sometime, and in my case, not heard-or so it seems. I am in the most difficult part of my life, career wise, financially, all seems lost and in my weakness, at times, I am beginning to question my faith. Well, I’m tired of praying for myself, if God’s going to intervene, he’d be doing it by now so I guess it’s time to accept my fate. I have been asking for a path, to use my God given talents to slog my way out of this earthly dilemma but I got nothing. Perhaps I’m expecting too much, I know I have been given much and maybe I squander it. As I read through some of the threads trying to find some wisdom, solace or support yet I see nothing. And for now, I give up on praying for myself, acceptance is difficult.

Yet as the Apostles and the early Church did, I think I will try to keep my faith by praying for others who also are in dark times, as part of our community. Perhaps my prayer’s won’t help them either, but I feel if I try and never know, at least I keep my own faith, my soul with the Lord. In front of you, my Brothers and Sisters, I will try to say prayers for others, everyday for a long as I can. In the morning, I will offer an Our Father and in the evening I will offer a Hail Mary, perhaps this will do some good for someone who the Lord can help.
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in your time of need.
 
Michael,

What an amazing thing that in your days of doubt and hardship you are going to pray for others.

Don’t forget you are not alone. Many, and I am no exception have had moments of questioning our Faith. Remember you can also pray.

Mark 9

23
Jesus said to him, “‘If you can!’ Everything is possible to one who has faith.”
24
Then the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!”

May God be with you and I will pray for your intentions as well.

Mary.
 
I am amazed by all of your thoughts and am realizing that God has not abandoned me, he is making me make the hard decisions and find my own way. I think I need to fight and I need to surrender to His will. It’s very difficult and the higher one falls from…

I ask you not to pray for me but to pray for others, I think that I need to make peace with myself, find that intended path and in doing so, find my faith. Perhaps I haven’t lost faith in the Lord but rather, myself.

I would ask that your intentions be for the weak and needy, for those that God will help with our Prayers. I need to face this and get through it. I believe my trials are His will, I must strengthen my faith in Him through my actions.

With Love, Thank you.

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen. †

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Amen. †
