Let us pray that we remain watchful that the accusing spirit does not tear apart our faith and wear us down spiritually, in order to render the competed work on the cross as nothing. On the cross, Jesus Christ finished the long night of his suffering for our sins. 1 Corinthians 1:18 – “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
So much disrupted sleep. There is a lot of good guidance already given. One thing I would suggest, for any one getting disrupted sleep is to try and relax when you get into bed, then make thanks giving prayers or read a praise psalm. When God sends Elihu to answer Job, he tells job in - Job 33: 15-16 For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction.
I "ditto" all you said ....Ananchal! I too pray for all our members every day. Im so glad to be part of this group of "heavy duty" prayers!
Lord, in Your loving care, bless sterph with the exemption she desires! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Thanks miker. Went to rosary Mass and Confession this morning which was a very joyful experience but was hit with darkness after for some reason.
Luan, I believe the Lord wants you to detach from this discord and to love both parties as He Loves them. This may be hard because of personal beliefs and generalised assumptions. But I believe God is calling you to this. I realise you have your own interpretations of the situation and that is ok; Because God knows our human hearts (He knows what influences our beliefs and thoughts, and this is not a Sin). However He calls some to an even greater path. I believe God is calling you to stand outside the turmoil and to be a person of prayer and contemplation, handing all over to the Most Pure Virgin. Our Lady, will lead you and be your mother; keep Her in your prayers and she will mother you and the whole family, providing calm to all effected in the family. God sees all things (good and bad) and Our Dearest Sorrowful Mother brings all things to light, so we can clearly see that which is good and praise God for and also that that which is bad so it can be expelled with Gods Love, restoring good and truth to the place where it has been compromised. God Bless
Very helpful post, Josephite!!! God bless you as well. And may Luan see miracles of grace in his family through Our Lady.
Thank you dear josephite, what a way to pray! I am going to pray this way in my novenas, St. Andrew's Christmas novena and the Immaculate Conception novena.
IMHO.. you were hit with it exactly because you went to Mass and prayed the Rosary. The evil one sees what you are doing and is throwing the “kitchen sink” at you. So as hard as it is, it’s actually a good news.. your on the right path. Will continue to pray for you .. please pray for me too. I need all the help I can get!
