Family ? Knowledge ? Patients ? Inner Peace ? Spiritual understanding ? Anything at all ?
Code: 
What ?
For myself , a better understanding of self forgiveness And the power to forgive others
 
Humility. I’m a terribly prideful person. 😊

I also really like peace and quiet, though on the rare occasion I actually get it I spend much of it worrying about what trouble is brewing. 😉
 
Savings. We were already down to $800 in the emergency savings account and just got hit with a $350 medical bill. Right now my biggest need is financial security. Praying my husband gets the promotion he just became eligible for!

Spiritually, I need humility and patience.
 
Right now I need a lot of courage as I am joining a religious community.
 
A wife. I have everything materially and financially one could ask for. I dont have the love of a lady.
 
A car, I used to drive all the time, until I
got married and went to another province,
I let my driver’s license expire and used
the transit system. But now my financial
situ is improved somewhat, I look forward
to a time when I will own a cheap used
car.
 
A small increase in finances so that we’re not struggling, can gently get ahead, and maybe even have a little savings. Also, what ministry or ministries God is going to call me to. I spent more than a decade as an interfaith minister before becoming Catholic, but it doesn’t seem likely that the priesthood will be an option for various reasons. I just need to have a direction now. It’s been a big change. I am in formation with the Secular Franciscan order, and I do feel lead there, but that is only one step.
 
Peace. I suffer from anxiety.

Patience might be nice too, and a BREAK. Two small kids and no money for paid childcare, two aunts and a grandpa who will not keep the kids, and another set of grandparents who are willing but unable due to health issues. And that is it.
 
A break from life’s seemingly endless problems. “Smooth sailing” for a while would be nice. 😊
 
First, more patience and more trust in God.

THEN
A good, strong Catholic husband.
A financial breakthrough
The grace to endure any sufferings that come my way.
 
Tonight? Peace from the devastation of false accusations that has again hit me today… Immediately; that the phone line to my family be cleared as I need them and for some reason cannot get them on phone or email… For the future; a safe and secluded house.

I really, really wish I knew mutual love between a man and a woman. While all my peers are getting married, shacking up with a long term girlfriends, getting out of prison from stupid stuff they did in their 20’s and getting married right after they get out, here I am 31 with a good job, trying to do the best I can and I go on maybe 2 dates a year and I have had one girlfriend in my entire life and it was only for 4 months.

I get to hear all my co-workers talk about their wives and families and not be able to relate in the least. Women give me their phone numbers and I call them and a lot of the times they do not answer. I message tons of women on dating sites and I get maybe 2 to go out with me once a year and only once has any of these women liked me enough to go on a second date with me. I hate being invited to events where people bring their families. Such as company picnics or even celebrations. I just do not go to any of them because I never have anyone to take. No kids, no close family. No nothing. Going to Mass alone is a constant reminder that I am highly unusual when I get to see all the nice families and see the husband and wives kiss each other at the sign of peace.

I am not socially awkward. I do not know why I have such problems with dating. I cannot get a woman to give me a chance so that I have a chance at love for the life of me. I have tried trying to meet other Catholics my age. Its not as easy as people seem to think. All the groups seem to be secret societies that you need to hear about by word of mouth, well how do I find out if I do not have any practicing Catholic friends my age??? The diocese website is worthless in this respect. Its news paper too. I need to know where to meet the single women but that is elusive to me too.

All I ever really wanted from this world was to know mutual love between a man and a woman.
 
Wow, all these posts make my problems seem insignificant.

I need an increase of trust in God’s provision. I just got hit with a $6K bill for my husband’s stay in the nursing home, and that’s probably just the first.
I know God will supply all our needs

.
 
Innsiner peace, being able to surrender to God always, patience, world peace, and sin less.
