Maybe because I work as a researcher, but I always feel the need to know why such and such happened, how to change, how to improve, ruminate on why something didn’t work, etc.

Did I not pray enough?
Is God angry with me?
Should I have fasted while praying?
If I had prayed the novena, would the outcome have been different?
Is this a coincidence, or did God lead me here?
Am I fooling myself into thinking such and such was divine providence?
Why is God doing this to me? Does He hate me now?
Is this punishment for my sins?
Has God abandoned me finally? Is it entirely up to me now?

It drives me a bit crazy because I know I will never have the answer, but I feel the need to improve the outcome of my next attempt at XYZ.
 
Live in the present- the past is the past, and let it go.
one of my favorite Padre Pio quotes - ‘Pray, hope, and dont worry- God is merciful and will hear your prayer.’
 
I’m just scared He has finally gotten tired of me and now I only have Divine Justice left…
 
He hasnt. Dont worry. His mercy, oatience, and kindness is everlasting.
