Thanks AED. Praying to Our Lady of Good Counsel at the moment. Felt drawn to her for some reason. The enemy seems to have me believe I'm a walking target at the moment with people, life etc. Have certainly felt that way the last 12 months whatever is going on.
Saw a quote from Mother Teresa recently, she said "we might not be able to perform great works but we can do small things with great love." Seemed like a nice quote.
Sanctus, I cannot offer any further recommendations then those who already spoke. Offering prayers for spiritual, physical and emotional healing and endurance.
Though we have our personal struggles and things appear dark at times, we must always realize that God is in charge and that He brings good even out of evil. No one can foil his plans! In the Abandonment Novena, Day 4 stands out in this regard: You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: “Thy will be done. You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor, and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say “You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you. Also beautiful Psalm 33. Who can approach the beauty and truth of God's Word! 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD, let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him! 9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood forth. 10 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nought; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. 11 The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! 13 The LORD looks down from heaven, he sees all the sons of men; 14 from where he sits enthroned he looks forth on all the inhabitants of the earth, 15 he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds. 16 A king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. 17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save. 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 19 that he may deliver their soul from death, and keep them alive in famine. 20 Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and shield. 21 Yea, our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. 22 Let thy steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
Feel I'm going through a form of healing experience at the moment. Scary but hopefully I'll come out the other side. I listened to satanic rock music as a young teenager and unfortunately it left quite a mark. I also did reiki, new age and other alternative spiritualities. I hope everything will be OK, trusting Jesus can deliver me.
Yes He can! He has! Or you wouldnt be where you are today. Have you forgiven yourself? I found that the hardest thing. But I think it is a very necessary part of healing. You can do it as an act of will in Jesus's Name.
