Same, I never get this much abuse or harassment even from atheists! The Prots really dislike us and I just don't feel the same way about them. I sometimes get a little frustrated with them, but don't hate them.
Hey no worries, like you said we're not alone, we always have the Holy Family with us. Yes I'll pray for you, please pray for me as well. I feel a little lost in my life right now, like I keep taking steps back when I know I have the ability to move forward. It's very disheartening.
You are better than me cause I get frustrated with them a lot, I just feel like it should be basic human decency, you don’t have to like me but in order to put an end to the horrible situation that we found ourselves in, we at least have to be able to work together. That’s great though cause I don’t hate anyone either, not even our enemies but we can seek justice without hatred, I don’t think it’s a sin to demand their life for what they have done. It is biblical if you ask me.
I am right there with you though, about feeling lost. I made tremendous strides the last few years and fell really hard recently so I get it and that is why I was asking for a little bit of prayers from your side. I will definitely pray for you as well. Sounds like we both need it greatly.
Oh trust me, I used to get very frustrated with them a lot, but I've kind of learned to ignore it, pray for them, and move on. What they do with their lives is up to them and is their choice. I can give them suggestions and advice but can't make them take it. Prayer is strong though, so we must always pray, even for those we don't get along with.
Same as you, I made a lot of progress in certain aspects of my life in 2020 (weird year for it but hey I wasn't complaining), then fell back on my face the year after and ever since then. I've been praying like crazy but perhaps my hope and faith in the Lord still isn't strong enough yet. Basically God sometimes makes your life so miserable that at some point the only thing you have left is Him and you run to Him. I guess that's where I'm at now. I need to be knocked down until I finally realize the only thing that matters is Him. Yes I'll pray for you! Even if I don't know your real name, God knows, and He'll send my prayers your way!
I think for now, that is where I need to be headed because I know I don’t think the same, I just often get very angry and ignore them and move on and what is funny is that never harms them, it only ever harms me. I was also on the rosary everyday and I totally fell out of it, that is something that I need to pull back too cause that is when I was at my strongest. I remember when I first started doing it I cried and to this day I still don’t know why but your totally right it’s the most powerful thing ever. I just need my spark back.
It’s so funny that you explain it that way though because we know the answers, we understand what we need to do and yet we do not do it or need a big reminder as to what the truth is. It is kind of wild when you put it into words. Thank for for that though it really means a lot, I will do the same for you back, I know we can both get back to where we were and maybe even better. God bless you friend, I truly mean it.
I've found the best way to keep me praying the rosary daily is to do long-term novenas, like the 54 day novena. You have to pray it every day or else you need to start over. In that way I'm able to keep going because I want to finish it in completion. I've done more than half a dozen at this point and I've found them really helpful. Hopefully it's helpful for you too! :)
I prayed for you last night too, after I finished my novena. God bless you as well fren! I'll always be around this site so if you ever need someone to talk to I'll be here!
