Struggling and need guidance

[Liturgy_Geek_1]

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am currently without some of my psychiatric medications, so please keep this in mind when responding to my wonky thought processes.

Yesterday, I bought a floral arrangement for my mother’s grave as I could not get to her grave on Mother’s Day. I spent $37.50 at the Catholic cemetery where Mom is buried because those floral arrangements are designed to fit in the planters that the cemetery installs. I also bought $30.00 in flowers for my home garden.

I believe that I must have sinned because now God is punishing me. I discovered this morning that my psychiatric medications will not be shipping out to me because I owe $60.00 to the mail order pharmacy for these medications.

I keep trying to trust in God but my current wackiness is making it difficult. God doesn’t play games like this, right? Am I right? I know that God has shown in the Old Testament that He can get pretty angry at us but I really want to hope that God isn’t sitting in heaven thinking of new and different ways for smacking me if I make a mistake.

Thank you, everyone, for listening. God bless.

No God does not play games or punish people like this. He really does not.

You spent too much on flowers through YOUR choice and that is why you are in debt for what you really need,

Please take responsibility for your actions?

And take the consequences when you fail to do that?

Learn to see ahead to what you need before impulse buying? We all have to do that, believe me. Prioritise; with me that rent first. Communications next as I am very isolated here, care needs then eg taxes and so on.

You need the meds? So prioritise them?

And remember; God loves you and will never “smack” you. We are too good at doing that t ourselves are we not?

Take control? It feels really good.

Rather than the Old testament, Look to Jesus, the New Covenant.

Bless you and take care!

Thank you. Yes, I did fall victim to impulse buying. As my mother would sagely say, “don’t cry over split milk.” so I just need to figure this out. Thank you for your good answer. Sometimes, I feel like I exist in a vacuum and hearing from others helps me to snap out it. God bless you.

No judgement, but I’ll pray for you and your peace of mind.

No God is love and mercy, everything He does is for the good of your soul.

God is not seeking to punish you. Mother’s Day is an emotional holiday for those of us who have lost moms. Sometimes it affects our judgment. You also have a medical issue that is likely affecting your judgment.

You made a mistake, because you are human. God didn’t do it to you, you did it yourself. The best response to it is to learn from your mistake and take some steps so it won’t happen again. For example if you impulse buy with credit cards, perhaps you want to cancel those accounts, or when you are tempted to spend money, pray to Jesus for the help to resist the temptation. That’s what God would want you to do. He loves you in any event, even when you fall down.

Prayers are as lovely as flowers, you could pray for the repose of the soul of your Mom and say that if she is already in heaven the prayers should go to help a Mom who has no one to pray for them. That is a beautiful gift you could give Mom in the future, and it is Free.

I do pray for the repose of my mom’s soul and all the souls of the faithful departed 3 times a day. I have Masses said for Mom. It’s been 4 years since she died and it is still challenging. I also pray for my mom’s soul and the souls of all the holy souls at every Mass I attend. It is a beautiful gift. And you’re right, I miss Mom terribly.
