Tips and Prayers for Spiritual Resolution

[jesusalright4me]

Hey guys!

Long story, but I’ll make it short and sweet. I am planning on simplifying my spiritual life. Lately, I find that I am learning so much about God, but yet I am so disconnected from him. Back in my conversion period, I was so on fire, reading the Bible, journaling, etc. Now, I am addicted to learning about the faith to the point where it eats away at my actual relationship with Christ. I even find myself question things such as the resurrection and other important doctrines because through my endless Internet research, I’ve heard so many different opinions and information on it it drives me crazy.

To make life simpler, I am first off deleting my account here. It’s too much of a distraction. I am going to fast from looking up theological and philosophical topics to prevent my mind from overloading. I may delete my twitter account, and will restrain from overusing my Facebook and the Internet in general. Finally, I am going to focus on reading the Bible and the long list of spiritual books I have on my shelf reflectively.

Before I go, do you guys have any tips on leading a simpler Catholic life? Like any ways of reading the Bible or creating a nice prayer schedule? I honestly just want to enjoy life like I used to while being faithful to Christ.

Also, pray for me on this journey, thanks!

In my own spiritual life, I have experienced many ups and downs (maybe more so than most do) and this should be expected, as it is what most Christians experience. Emotions come and go for just about everyone. The important thing is to stay close to God and obey the teachings of His Church. If you’ve got important spiritual/ religious questions, at least, please do not be hesitant to look up the answers. If you do not already have such questions, you very well might later if you’re like me, you will so you might want to reconsider deleting your membership.

I agree! You might also want to consider getting a spiritual director/adviser to help you in your faith

Download the Laudate app, a free Catholic app, it has the Liturgy of the Hours. Nice start.

Hey guys!

So I did reconsider. I am keeping the account. I guess sometimes I get really scrupulous and have to question everything in the eyes of Catholic answers. I think that solution is to worry less and only ask important questions.

I am considering getting a spiritual director, and I also already have the Laudate app! It’s awesome!

Thanks guys, I’m closing the discussion.
