Thank you HH. Lately it seems that so many members here have been expressing so much pain and suffering. I don’t know, but it appears to me to be more than usual. It’s heartbreaking to read all of it...by so many. Besides praying for their intentions, the only consolation is to know that the suffering has real value eternal value. Knowing that sometimes is enough to accept their pain....and knowing that we’re probably all dealing with suffering. It’s the human condition. Not everyone knows it’s value. I’m grateful for those who taught me how to use it....very grateful.
Boy, is that the truth! Every time I see someone opening something with their teeth...or using their teeth in a way not intended, I cringe. Losing a tooth, especially in the front is no fun
Speaking of teeth. Thought some might like to get their theoretical teeth into the following and oh boy does it taste good. I found the following message on the DFOT updates and thought of Heidi and any other soul who might be suffering from anxiety. Would like to share it; (We continue our cycle of monthly messages for 2021 with the message for March 1, 2005 for our prayer groups and personal reflection. ) March 1, 2005 Jesus My children are distracted in this time. I am sending great peace upon those who allow me into their souls, and I wish to be present in every soul. Do you want my heavenly peace? Do you wish to experience a foretaste of Heaven? Dear friends, this is available to you if you ask me. This is not something you can buy. It is not something that the world creates. It is a state of union with me. Peace comes from the experience of being part of the family of God. Each of you belongs to this family, but some of our brothers and sisters have chosen to move away from me. This results in isolation and sadness. Confusion soon creeps into the life away from God and the person then seeks to clarify his existence by searching through the worldly balms offered by the enemy. Alas, none of these balms will satisfy a child of Heaven because there is only one true balm for the soul. It is I, Jesus Christ. I offer the balm that will heal. I offer the balm that will clarify and soothe. I will come to any person who seeks me and bring with me the heavenly peace that cannot be bought. Little children of the world, call out to me and I will come to you. Confusion is not from me. Sadness and despair are not from me. Peace and serenity are from me. Ask me to bring these things to you and I will do so. Please visit our website at: www.directionforourtimes.org
I am late to this thread Heidi but I am offering my holy hour this morning for your intentions and all the intentions of forum members. God bless.
I believe any priest can pray what they call "minor" deliverance prayers--a good devout believing priest. But a trip to the MD is essential. For some reason I am thinking hormone levels should be checked. Maybe a whole profile of blood work? Never hurts to get a full check up. The physical and the spiritual are so entertwined.
I’ve had that done, they didn’t find anything. I’ve tried medication, counseling, etc. all with no relief.
I think a lot is unappreciated by the youth - I remember my mom used to complain about driving at night and I just didn’t get it and used to laugh at her - now, I look out and think it’s getting dark I better wait till tomorrow to do (whatever). Lol I now have so many aches and pains and look at me elderly mother and wonder how she holds it together. I wish I had more wisdom and listened more when I was young.
I will keep you in my prayers - I went through a very dark time when my agitation, anxiety and depression was more than I could deal with. That’s when I learned the grace of spending time in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Sometimes I would do nothing but cry,’other times I would sit almost stoic with no thoughts just my anxiety - I always thought as I walked one I don’t have time for this - but amazingly always found afterward I was able to get done what needed to be done. My life has gotten much busier since those days and I am no longer able to find a place open to just sit with the Lord. I look forward to retirement and even more to eternity when the Lord and I can spend time just looking at each other
I have gone online to savior.org which has live, real time Adoration There are other websites One is in Poland at the Divine Mercy chapel I think That way I can adore the Lord while doing chores, just a short visit here and there
I can imagine how frightening and frustrating this must be. I offered special prayers for you at my holy hour this morning. I will keep praying.
Me too! I wish I could sit down with my MIL and say "I'm sorry. I didn't understand. Please forgive me." I pray for her soul and ask my guardian angel to tell her.
