Check Paypal. James 2:16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
I'll pray for you, Mark1. When I get emotionally upset, especially about financial problems (and my family has had them), it is good to consider the truth of God's help in the past. This is something that is constantly repeated in the Psalms: praise for the deliverance of God. How will God provide His Providential Care today? Take small steps. Trust. Pray! When God acts praise Him, and record the memory. And those memories add up. And thanksgiving multiples. I'll pray too for your struggle with depression. Safe in the Two Hearts.
....Padraig! I'm about to send you a message. Your help, as is prayer, is invaluable. But my sense of guilt runneth over. More in the message....
Certainly praying for you, I can obviously relate. I also recommend making extra efforts to console the Immaculate Heart of Mary today, even more than what is required on the First Saturday of the month; it is in consoling that we are consoled.
...I thank you. I talk to Mary, daily . And, along with the posts of others, your posts have not been lost on me, though I don't often post, myself. And I've prayed for you before, and will again.
St Paul says, 'I have nothing with which I can reproach myself , but know that at the End it will be God who Judges. So we must work out our Salvation in Fear and trembling. How wonderful that must be , to have nothing with which to reproach yourself. How totally , totally wonderful. I can't even take the dogs for a walk without having a shouting match with some poor person.
....I tell my wife and son I can't go one day without saying or doing something stupid. I sit before God and say there is nothing here but a mess. And I can't even go for a short "drive" without shouting at another driver (usually a rude one), whether they hear me or not (usually not). Thanks for the St Paul quote, Padraig
Praying Mark! Please St Joseph...shine a light on the job that is a perfect fit for our brother Mark!
Mark, you are under much stress. Don't let JoeJerk beat you up for every miscue! He counts, but the Lord offers Mercy. Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Prayers!
Agh Mark I hear you loud and clear I've walked in your path many times I once prostrated myself before a sacred heart picture crying for help.. He will not leave you orphaned my friend and remember when your brought to your knees its the best position for prayer.. God bless and keep you..
Mark I'm just catching up here. I'll pray for your situation. Whenever I am struck with desolation I keep praying 'JESUS I TRUST IN YOU' and it always lifts me and gives me consolation
....I cry for help, often. I think I must be wearing the Good Lord down, with so many prayers offered, here. Thank you for your kindness.
Mary Rose, and it may be I don't trust Him enough. I go to instant panic and despair. I'll try harder. Thank you
