I cant help but feel my relationship with God is broken because of something I must have done. Or maybe I am broken and he is healing me to look at things positively. Going to medjugorje again soon, hopefully Our Lady has a plan.
I am going off to Adoration tonight and I will bring you with me Peter. All I know is we are all broken, sinful and have said or done horrible things. God sees all of this and yes it’s when we are at our weakest that He is present. I believe it at these moments when we come to him like the Prodigal He loves us. In fact he literally loves us to death! Peace. Peace.
Thanks miker. Hopefully God can turn things around for me. I made the consecration to Mary twice over the past few years so hopefully Mary can help me
I'm trying to trust that Our Lady has a plan for me. I made the consecration in 2017 and 2020. Things have been difficult the past few years. I hope Our Lady and Jesus can help
I have edited out my comment Peter. I should not be saying anything. I don't know your situation. Only God does. My job is to pray. And I am going to do that. God bless.
I suggest you pray Psalm 63:1-8 frequently! O God, thou art my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is. 2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary, beholding thy power and glory. 3 Because thy steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise thee. 4 So I will bless thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on thy name. 5 My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises thee with joyful lips, 6 when I think of thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the watches of the night; 7 for thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I sing for joy. 8 My soul clings to thee; thy right hand upholds me.
Psalm 42 1 As a hart longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me continually, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.
I dont feel God or Jesus's presence in my life at all. I keep praying and seeking but feel nothing. Hopefully the trip to medjugorje should help with it.
I think I might have to seek jesus with the heart, rather than relying on consolations. Fathet slavko in medjugorje also spoke about praying with the heart and fasting from the heart also from the little I know of saint john of the cross he says not to rely on feelings. I'm trying my best so I hope God can help me.
Peter, here's a piece of scripture I have to repeat to myself. It has often thrown him into fire and into water to kill him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 23Jesus said to him, “‘If you can!’ Everything is possible to one who has faith.” 24Then the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!” Our hope is in the Lord for we trust in His holy word that He gave us-He will be with us till the end of the world!
And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on all ages will call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”
I left hospital today and am struggling. I hope God is happy with me. Finding things very difficult being out in the real world. I hope God forgives me and won't punish me.
