Hi everyone,

The last few days I have really been struggling with my mental health. My life seems to have taken a turn for the worse - I was finding less and less reason to live. Last night, I went to bed early as I had neglected my prayer life so I started reading yesterday’s scripture and prayed.

Before I went to sleep I felt something come over me - I suddenly felt great and all the dark thoughts I had went to the back of my head - it was as if God was talking to me at that moment.

Never had an experience like this before but I wondered, do you think it could have been God?
 
Straener, yes the Lord does things like that. He can suddenly fill you with love, peace, or calmness when you approach him in moments of distress.

Even though you thought you were neglecting prayer, reading scripture is a form of prayer…and it is good to do that when you feel you can do nothing else. It is HIS word.

Thanks be to God for touching you in this way!

I do worry that about you feeling so despondent. Please do not neglect seeing the doctor when things are going so badly.
 
Thanks for the reply - it is appreciated. I see the doctor every week and am lucky to have a big group of mental health support.

Thanks again and god bless,

Andrew
 
It is called experiencing a Moment of Grace.

And it is a wonderful gift. They don’t necessarily come often, but the memory of them can be called on whenever you need them, and, in my experience, that memory can be as good as the experience itself, if you let it be. Our Blessed, most Wonderful Lord has given you something precious. He wants you for this world… you have already moved me this morning, who knows what other good may come of this experience in the days, months, years ahead?

Good luck, God bless you and Peace be with you.
 
There is a website www.MaryTv.tv and it has video clips of testimony from people who have all kinds of troubles in this world and how God has touched their lives much like the situation you have described. It is full of Catholic stories. Go there and look around, especially Stories from Denis, Tea with Rosie, and Fruit of Medjugorje…
 
I had a similar experience, and I m 100% convinced it was God; it actually spurred my return to practicing my faith. Take heart, God know you are trying to live for Him!
