Lumena I will put you in my Rosary tonight. If its any consolation most if not all of us are being increasingly tested in one way or another right now. It is so hard when I am in the midst of it to embrace it for love of Jesus. And you mention your age. That is surely a factor. Prayers tonight.
Yes! Exactly Terry. I find the Rosary will most often put me back to sleep. I try to see this night time sleep interruptions as calls to prayer. Sometimes I never get back and that makes a rough next day. But at least rosaries and chaplets got said
I have witnessed the discord between two people in my family in a way that has profoundly affected my emotional stability. I ask you to pray that God will strengthen my faith and bring reconciliation in my family.
I've had another very hard day today...just constant spiritual attacks to where I don't even know how I'm coping. God is allowing so many of us to go through this right now; we must be on the brink of something really good. We must take courage and press forward with our prayers even as we go through the darkness and wonder if we'll ever see the light. We will! It's like in labor...when I'm at the point where I just know I'll never make it and can't go on, my midwife knows that baby is about to make her appearance.
What a profound post. I am so glad to be on this forum, dear Josephite, dear all. Dear Mario and purple flower, you are in my prayers. I can't write much, severe pancreatitis. Always struggled with gluttony and fasting , now the Good Lord is forcing me to fast. You are all in my prayers.
So many here are having their sleep disrupted, myself included I have been up since 3:30 am. I have been gaining consolation in prayer. Though it doesn't always help. I sleep very little anyways. I have Graves Disease, diagnosed 20 yrs ago. I had radiation 15 yrs ago and still have it. My guess our Lord wants me to keep watch with him and pray. I cannot add anything more to some the well said posts here. All here are in my thoughts and prayers. May by the Grace of God and the support of our Gracious Queen we will one day have a peaceful sleep.
The Lord is forcing me to fast a little. I have acute diverticulitis and have to eat little. Severe pancreatitis is very painful I understand. I will keep you all in my prayers.
I just put in for a religious exemption from the vaccine at work. Please pray it is granted. Thanks. I pray for all the requests here daily.
Thank you all, praying for Luan too, and everyone I might have forgotten to mention. Family Rosary last night for all forum members and their families. Off to the doctor....
I am adding my prayers for all who have asked in a special way for a specific intention. I say prayers for the whole forum and their family members almost every day. I want to thank all of you who pray for me as well. God bless all of you with many graces.
Thats how I do it too. Specifics and then in general. Thank God for all the prayer back up the forum provides to all of us. We are so blessed. Many many thanks to Padraig.
You guys are great! Know that while I may do nothing but whine,‘complain and cry to God about my life; I always remember all MOG members in my prayers and bring you all with me when in front of the Blessed Sacrament! I am very happy to have found you all
