I am struggling with trusting my Spiritual director. I wanted to a spiritual director to escape the subjectivism and trying to discern God’s will on my own, but I also feel convicted that I don’t really want to do God’s will. I am afraid I’ll miss my vocation, because I still love the world, and I get disgusted by the way certain religious texts dismiss marriage and normal life as if it’s somehow sinful. I am deflecting though, and I realize that the real fact is that I am self-willed and selfish. I get messed with really by by mental issues and scrupulosity, which I hope mitigates my guilt to some extent, but I really do believe I am corrupt. I was going to go to confession tomorrow, and wanted to ask for your prayers that I would desire to desire to change.
 
Tell you what. I’ll pray that you relax. I’ll pray that you see things for what they are.

Because marriage was the first sacrament created by God. I mean Adam wasn’t first made a priest, he was made a husband. So there’s no hate on for marriage in the Bible. If you’re finding that you should try reading it with the light on.

Hope that helps.

Peace Bdonoho.
