/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

My grandfather passed away this morning. I don't believe he was a very strong Christian, I think he was lukewarm at best. Pray that the Lord may find mercy upon him, and that he may grant the rest of us, especially my grandmother, peace and solace.

Please pray for the state of IL and hope that they are successful in cutting off that liberal heck hole , Chiraq, from the rest of the state. Please pray that HR101 gets passed.

Same. Let's pray for each other

>Finally got a slot for confession after agonizing over it

>Continuing to agonize over it

I need the help but the embarrassment I foresee is killing me

>>799830

The perceived embarrassment is satan trying to fool you into keeping yourself damned. You may feel embarrassed, but after confession you will feel better like a weight removed from your shoulders.

Besides, is hell really worth saving yourself from embarrassment?

>>799837

No, but I am feeling better now. It's been a good day with many consolations. I'm Anglican and somewhat autistic and over-scrupulous, so I've been caught between wanting a confession, and feeling a that my inability to get over it the Protestant way is a deficiency.

But overall, the reason for the confession is not because I haven't gotten over it and restored that right relationship within myself, nor is it from masochism, I just want to go the extra mile. After all, if I have thrown it over my shoulder, it stands to reason that I should prove it by participating in the sacrament.

>>799895

You should go to confession at an apostolic Church.

>>799939

I don't know yet that what you've said is right. I was baptized into this even though my parents are not religious. I know they won't understand, and that they don't understand me. I believe that God can raise the dead, and I believe it because my spirit was broken, like Paul's at Damascus. Maybe its insanity; the devil has spent the last day and a half asking "are you sure?" and the answer is no I'm not, but I've learned to bless those who have brought me low, and even though my parents had a hand in it, I still don't want to lose them.

It's been a year and 2 months since I was found and I still struggle with this.

>>800080

I wonder what >>800000 was

>>800081

Too typical

A prayer for everyone struggling with impurity

>>780121

>I can't go to Mass. Every time I go, I have an extreme anxiety attack. Sometimes I can make it all the way through but this is rare. Most of the time I leave early. I don't know what to do.

I get anxiety attacks at home after Mass, but inside church it has no power over me.

I ran into a Catholic woman I'm interested in, I honestly thought she moved away. We're both too nervous to talk to each other. Please pray that if it's God's will, that he bring us together somehow. I'm very lonely, and having someone in my life would really help.

>>800183

If she’s nervous maybe she fancies you. You should say hello or invite her out with your family/friends.

Ask and you shall receive.

>>800200

Oh, I know that she does, we just can't seem to get over being nervous.

>>800434

Look, either pray or shut up. I came for prayer requests, not advice. Yes I'm being blunt because everyone seems to want to avoid praying at all costs ironically in a prayer request thread.

Infact, just forget it, I regret even ask this board.

>>800485

Hi there, that anon, different IP.

You are starting to make me regret praying for you. Maybe she would be better off without you.

>>800488

Whatever dude. I'm just going to walk away before I say something terribly unchristian to you.

>>800508

Well, God love you friend. I hope your day gets better :)

For my uncle Thomas, who was lapsed and is to be buried without proper funeral.

lel

My father-in-law is just a few blocks from a military coup in progress. Please pray for his safety.

Please, pray for me so I can get the will to pray for myself and other.

Been fapping way too much to stuff thats getting even more degenerate

Pray for me

>>803245

>>803260

carry on brothers, i've prayed for you and i wish you the best.

One of my friends is suicidally depressed, another is struggling with schizophrenia, and I'm battling psychosis. Please pray for us. Also, what's the best way to ask for a saint's intercession?

>>353817

I am currently away at college. My mom texted me that my dads heart stopped and he is in the hospital. She has told me that he is getting better and not to worry, but I have no knowledge of whether he truly is or if she's saying that so I keep my mind on my studies. I have now learned through my sister that he has total organ failure. Please /christian/, if any of you see this in this cyclical thread, please pray for my father. I have been praying for him, I love him, and I wish I were home.

>>353817

Friend in hospital with raging lung infection, please please live

>>804615

And I just said a prayer to counteract your little "spell". Whom ever taught you magick is a very bad teacher.

>>804728

>Jews and jew lovers jewing other jews

Why should I pray for that?

>>805037

Because it could deal a blow to Faceberg and the Zucc's ego and weaken their power.

>>805037

Because it could deal a blow to Faceberg and the Zucc's ego and weaken their power over silicone valley.

>>805597

This can sound polemic, but I think no one can be a true believer if they've never had doubts. As a child, it's impossible to understand what God and faith are, and the relations you have with them. A child's belief in God is closer to pagan superstition than to actual faith. At least in my case, my faith had to be reborn in a more adult form. It's normal to have doubts, and it's good to question everything; you're distilling your faith.

I struggle with the concept of asking God for things for myself or other people. It doesn’t make sense to me.

>fighting alcoholism following my ex breaking up with me

>drinking got so bad that I'm on academic probation and can't get my degree for another year and a half

>near constant despair and can't stop sinning to cope (lusting after women, porn, etc)

>friend dies in car accident

>dog is dying

>bills piling up because my car won't stop breaking down

>family is slowly get strained from both working parents and me still struggling to finish school

>i have no idea what to do

I just want to see the light in all this.

>>805791

I’ll pray for you anon. Sorry you’ve had to go through all this

Losing my faith

>>805971

Elaborate plz

I'm a father, anons. Like, an actual factual my wife pushed out baby though her birth canal father, and as much as that is its own prayer request, he's currently in the NICU because he hasn't gotten all the fluid out of his lungs. Please pray for him, for my wife (who is recovering from a natural birth, no epidural), and while I'm the one in the best shape of the three, I could use some prayer, myself.

>>806393

Congratulations anon! Having a child is a wonderful thing, and I pray that God bless you and your family!

Going to confess, first time and I know it is going to be really uncomfortable

>>353817

I am tormented by Lust anons. Please pray for me. I have strayed from the path and need guidance asap!

: ' (

Thinking I'm going to resign my catechumate soon-ish. Whatever happens, pray for me to find Jesus Christ.

>>753297

I’ll be sure to anon. May God bless you through these unholy memories and may it torture you no longer

>>353817

Please pray for me to no longer have acid reflux

My girlfriend who I was sure I wanted to marry (she previously said she wanted to) just sent me message last night out of the blue saying she doesn't want to be with me any more. When I went to bed last night I brought my hands together to pray that I could repair the relationship, but I couldn't bare to ask God for that. I know that what I want is impossible and the best thing for me to do is move on and focus on my University exams which are a week away.

Shortly before she broke up with me I posted her a card that ended with

>You are the smile on my face every morning and evening, and now, the future I dream about. Love anon.

Pray that I can find happiness and keep focused so I don't disappoint my parents.

>>807057

Anon, sometimes things break up, which aren't meant to be.

In my early 20s I thought I met the love of my life. Later I found out that it wasn't mutual and I was just a stopgap. I was heartbroken for many years.

Luckily we tried sex only two times and God intervened hard both times, which was very embarrassing for me as a man. But this way I stayed pure.

Now, 15 years later, when I met who God possibly intended as my real companion, it all became clear, why the past happened this way.

>>807082

>>807082

is she named huang zhao?

my friend has been hospitalized due to her attempt on her life. Please pray for her

For healing of my neck

I think I'm going to lose my job, I keep messing things up and I feel like everyone thinks I'm stupid

I'm trying to break my addictino to energy drinks. Please pray for my success.

>>787244

Same age. Waiting for the right one as well. Not a virgin, but it was literally first and last time type deal. Lost 5 years of my life wishing she returned. Years went by and I made other poor decisions along the way. 33, wish to be married, wish I had my wife and family, but God has his timing. It has gotten to the point where I literally scream my prayers. I've lost a lot of my feeling for human beings in general because of this loneliness.. I look at women and know I feel no connection anymore, like I feel it just isn't going to work.. because God will put here there, in his time. Or maybe he simply wont. I dunno. But I hope he answers your prayers and gives you thr right one.

I ask you to pray for my newborn nephew. Pray that he doesn't have to grow up in a single parent household (his parents are unmarried) and that my brother's hatred for God doesn't inoculate this innocent new life.

>>807027

Done

At the moment guys I'm having a tough time. Trying to avoid lust is coming to me more naturally since confession, but now my bishop is suffering from some persecution I can only guess at and a good friend is staring down a stage III cancer diagnosis. Please pray for both that they be well again.

I lie habitually. I want to stop, but it feels so engrained in me that sometimes I don't think I can. Furthermore, sometimes I'm not sure I even want to stop; I keep finding myself in situations where I end up lying because it seems convenient, or being honest seems disadvantageous. I know it's wrong but I feel like I know I'm going to lie again even though I don't want to do something knowingly sinful. It feels like I can't not lie sometimes.

The worst part was, I justified this to myself earlier with a hideous lie; I told myself that even Jesus lied. (I was thinking of John 7:8-10) I

Please pray for me both in regards to stopping lying and that I can be forgiven for calling Jesus a liar.

>>808953

Well, are these white lies, or falsehood with intent to harm? I think there is a difference. What Jesus does in John 7:8-10 doesn't harm the disciples. I sometimes tell self-effacing lies, or fail to mention one friend group in front of another.

I pray however that you learn to be more honest, but what is most important in your dealings is to set out reasonable expectations, so other people are not deceived. Don't say for instance "I will definitely" when you mean "I will perhaps." This has been a problem for me in the past.

This is also good however, because you can make reverse lies using the "Scotty" method. This comes from Star Trek; Scotty (the chief engineer) would always price in extra time in which to do things, saying for instance "I need 12 hours to do x task" when in reality it required only 9. This technically isn't a lie, because the task could take up to 12 hours hypothetically. This always kept the type A personalities on the bridge content in the show. Making such self-effacing fibs is harder than it seems though because you have to acknowledge your weakness and inability, and the possibility of failure.

I don’t understand praying for things, like praying for someone to not be sick.

Please pray for my dad anons. He was in a car crash earlier today, and his vehicle was totaled. Looks like it’s his fault for the accident too. Fortunately both parties sustained no injuries, but please pray for the wrath that will soon befall us

>>808998

Often it's avoiding admitting to wrongdoing, such as to avoid being rebuked, or to make excuses for myself, or for personal gain.

Nothing justifiable.

>>757973

>I'm scared of being sinful. Everything I do, I worry about slipping up and sinning. It's interfering with my faith and with me being able to function. I'm scared of false teachings when I read about my faith, I'm scared of misconstruing or twisting scripture if I try to talk about my faith. I know it might sound ridiculous, but I got a 666 get on this board earlier and I was even scared I sinned then.

My scrupulosity comes and goes, but bumping because it's resurged recently.

>>809090

So God cures some children of cancer and not others?

Lord, I can't do it right.

Help me, Lord.

I owe all my blessings not to myself, but to You.

There's no one who can make it better other than You.

Father, I'm troubled.

I don't even know what to ask for to make it better.

But You know what will make it better.

If it fits into Your plan, please make it better.

If it doesn't, please make me happy to accept my wretched state and in so doing, let me bring You glory.

You know I'm very sad, but I know You hear my prayers.

Thank you, Father.

Amen.

>>809298

Ah I see, prayer done then

>>809572

She's in my prayers

I feel selfish asking for prayers but I will here anyway. It's good to just vent, I guess.

Since childhood I have felt isolated and unable to connect. I feel there is a wall between other people and myself. I don't feel truly bonded with anybody (except my dad). I feel like I'm 'acting' and trying to force a normal relationship. Even with past boyfriends I've felt isolated and fake. I love my friends dearly but I can't shake my loneliness. It's every day. I try to numb it or forget about it through keeping busy with activities, going to church, focusing on school. I read scripture and pray.

I've lived alone for a few years with my cat, and most weeks the only communication I have with people is on Sundays at church. My mom doesn't try to talk to me, my sister has a serious illness, my brother lives on the other side of the country and dislikes me (as admitted by other family members). All I have is my dad and step family, but as a 20 something adult I'd like to diversify my social life obviously.

I feel cursed by God. I feel horrible saying that, and it's probably sinful to think so. I can't count how many times I've cried and asked God why I can't connect. I am terrified I'll feel this lonely my entire life. I've felt this way since age 9/10. My biggest fear is I'll have children one day and I won't be able to feel that bond with them.

I've been diagnosed with chronic depressive disorder for about 8 years. I've been on medication for it for about 4 years. I can't sleep without sleeping pills. When I'm off meds, I have obsessive/compulsive thoughts. I've tried every sort of therapy, I've done everything. I regularly see a therapist and my psychiatrist is SO proud of my progress. I live alone, I'm in school, my medications are working.

But nobody addresses my core issue of loneliness. I know God hasn't abandoned me. But I feel defective. I feel lost. I see a bright, shiny goal of having lots of kids and a husband and a little farm one day. I want to be surrounded by nature, God's land, I want to raise my children properly. I am stuck in a cycle of meeting other people's expectations. I need to graduate, get a good job, succeed in a career and make people proud. I am hiding a secret of desiring a quiet, simple life.

I am afraid I'll never have my dream. I am afraid I'll never make God happy. I'm afraid I'll always be alone. I'm afraid God will punish me for my lack of faith.

Please pray that I will have faith and patience in His plan for me. Thank you.

>>809706

Thank you so much for the prayer, the reassuring words, and the resources you linked.

I only have NIV bibles, would you suggest having a KJV as well? My church doesn't use that version so I haven't gotten around to getting one.

Thank you again. I pray that you find good company as well.

I realized that even if I were to find a wife, I have nobody to be my best man. I have nobody.

I talk with older saints on Sunday, but I don't have peers and I don't have my own people.

I've never had a girlfriend and I'm 28. I'm the rare man who, like Paul, could live a celibate life, so this isn't a complaint, just an observation.

I've been blessed in so many ways, but I feel like "what good is it without a squad and a godly lady to share it with?"

God gives us suffering so that we can bring glory to Him in the way that we deal with it: accepting that we deserve far worse, accepting that humans are impotent, and laying everything at his feet.

I realized this during a decade of physical illness and pain. What a blessing it is to follow in Job's footsteps in some small way.

>>353817

Pray to God for whomever is spammimg the board. Maybe God will give this person(s) a life so they can do something better with it.

>>809716

Thanks anon

>Usefulness of KJV?

If you don't have a KJV, get a hymn book and maybe also a prayer book if you like. I bought the KJV because it was cheap and at the used book store I frequent. My bishop did much eye-rolling when I mentioned this.

The KJV is not brilliant, it just gets the job done.

>>809784

Amen

>>809722

I can relate to your feeling. I'm 28 and never had a girlfriend.

I didn't want to marry until March. I used to feel ok about being single for the rest

of my life. But the fact I was far from the church and Christ, and, in general, was considered a cold

person (my father words) played a part on that.

I decided to change everything this year. I went back to church and now I'm trying to find someone.

It's being really hard. I have no idea what to do since I never had a girlfriend before. I'm just letting things happen

naturally… I guess.

I really want to have a family and the responsability of being a father and husband.

>>809928

I want to point out that the current elections were EU parliamentary elections, not Presidential elections. The next presidential election will be ~2022 according to google. Macron is still the President of France.

>>809964

Ahh okay, thank you for the correction.

My rooster is sick and not eating all of a sudden, I don't know why but I am going to take him to a friend of mine who's good with chickens tomorrow, and then a vet if it's necessary (good chance it will be). Please pray that he will be okay and pull out of whatever this is, I'm trying the best I can to give him a good life and do everything right. I love him so much.

I'm afraid of asking for so much and being seen as selfish but I'm really scared and lonely so I have a list of things I'd like prayed for in regards to myself

>That I gain strength to overcome my pride

>That I find wisdom to know truth and pursue it

>That I gain awareness of when I am acting in good faith and when I am just being self-congratulatory

>That I learn to love others and myself as well as God

>That I may possibly be blessed with friends and a wife similar in temperament who will accept me in honesty and keep me on path to what is good

>That I put my gifts to use rather than let them go to waste

I know this board sometimes gets sick of these posts, but I'm afraid I've blasphemed the holy spirit. At first it was a single curse, and it was without thinking, might have been an intrusive thought. I don't even remember what led up to it or whether or not it was in a dream.

But since then I've been panicking, and the blasphemous thought keeps repeating over and over through my mind without end, which makes me worry that I'm being obstinate in this sin. I'm constantly chanting in my head (not a formal chant, just repeatedly saying "praise the holy spirit" because it's the opposite of the blasphemous phrase) to drown out the blasphemous phrase and I'm not really functioning at this point. I don't think this is what God wants for me but I'm to sacred to think straight. I'm caught between the fear that I've committed an eternal, unforgivable sin and the fear that I'm sinning by daring to worry my sin can't be forgiven, which is also unforgivable.

>>810662

You haven't blasphemed the Holy Spirit, you're just having intrusive thoughts. Everybody gets them, don't worry about it. It will go away eventually. Acknowledge before God that you're having foolish thoughts, ask for forgiveness (ask once, you don't need to ask forgiveness for every individual thought as this will just cause you to dwell on it even more) and pray to be delivered from them. Of course I'll pray for you as well.

You don't need to panic. Relax and understand that the thoughts will stop soon, just get on with your day and occupy your mind with other things. When blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the Bible it was when the pharisees witnessed the miracles performed by Jesus and accused him of working by the power of Satan instead of that of God - they knew he was from God and yet they accused him of evil because they truly hated him and didn't want people to follow him. It was a real hatred and wilful rejection of God and they didn't want to be forgiven. That is not what you've done, if it was then you wouldn't be worried about it because you wouldn't be seeking forgiveness.

I feel selfish asking for prayers on this board, as it makes me feel self-centered, but i have very few people to ask prayers from, and even fewer who I'm not embarrassed to share this with:

I've been talking to this girl for about a year now. We really hit it off early on. However, she's very ambivalent as a person, has trouble connecting with people (especially romantically), and suffers from very bad mood swings. Things were great otherwise, she even told me she'd like to marry me and I was helpful in her walk with Christ.

Her emotional instability proved even worse the closer she got to me though. It was as if speaking to her made her happier, but then, the more she *thought* about us together, the more it terrified her. I talked to her brother, and it seems commonplace in their family, as he acted the same way with the first girl he ever got serious with.

Unfortunately, I reacted vindictavely to one of her emotional outbursts. From what I know, I broke her heart, even though I still apparently have a place there. She refuses to talk to me. I'm doing everything I can to fix my error, but it's an uncertain, if not hopeless, situation.

I humbly request that you all will pray so that this girl and I will fix our issues, and that God will bless us with a prosperous relationships. And, if things don't happen the way I may like, that God will give us the strength to endure that.

Please and thank you all.

Pray for me, please.

I have lost my job and cannot find a new one.

Pray that I can sell my house and that I can start my life all over again.

Nan is in hospital again, pray for my mother please.

>>811202

I will.

>>353817

I just found out my wife and I are pregnant. Pray for us so that the pregnancy goes okay and pray that the Blessed Virgin Mary and out Lord Jesus Christ allows it to be consecrated to their immaculate heart.

About to break up with my girlfriend, I have been living with her in sin for almost a year but we already made plans to move apart. Please pray for her and our relationship. I pray for forgiveness from God regarding the foolish decisions that I have made.

>>811594

Same anon here. I want to add that I fully deserve what I'm going through. How I've treated people in the past. How I have bullied others, how I have hurt others ever since I was in grade school. I'm a terrible and awful person, it's not cliche, I truly am. I don't deserve to have any of this. On top of that, living with my girlfriend yet fully knowing God's commandments and His Laws, I was living in willful disobedience of His Laws because it was convenient for me and I wasn't able to take my eyes off the worries and cares of this world. I was worried about money, caring more about my bank statement rather than storing up treasures in Heaven where it will neither be stolen nor rust. I deserve what I get. Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.

Please pray for me to find the will and words to finally finish this letter I have been writing for someone. I'm to depressed to even pray for myself and I don't feel worthy of asking God for anything.

>>795387

>>795425

Update for anyone who read this. Thanks to the efforts of my home parish I was received the sacraments at the Easter Vigil.

Now I come with more prayer requests. For any Catholics, that my family would convert and that I may be a good witness to the faith while I'm home for the summer. One of my sisters has been struggling with Crohn's Disease and has been in and out of the hospital lately. My other sister says she's "Pan-romantic", and is telling my family she might be an atheist. Pray that for her she would change her ways and that bad influences at her school would not affect her.

I thank the Lord for all that he has given me. I'm thankful, first of all, that he has restored my desire to seek Christ. I'm so thankful that in my lowest times, when I thought I wasn't worthy, he spoke to me and all became clear. I'm thankful for the welcoming people who have accepted me into their family in Christ, and I pray that I continue to grow in their fellowship. I pray for the strength and the courage to go out and seek a new job, and to swallow my pride when my current employers get in my face every time I make a mistake. I pray for peace, and love, and I pray that others see it in me. I pray for deliverance from the toxic atmosphere I have relentlessly succumbed to for the past 3 years, so that I may find a new place where I might actually be able to stand on my own two feet without a roommate in order for me to maybe find a gf who is wife material.

I will pray that she will see the light sooner rather than later, but I fear the damage will still be done; which is why I pray sooner, rather than later so no more momentum can build up within her choice to act out against God

Show her all the love and kindness in the world, anon. Be there for her no matter what, as a brother. Show her that love, and the Lord will work through you.

>>810702

Anon, it's time to let go. You must use this time to reflect on yourself. I will pray that God may give you the strength to accept the fact you need to seek another person. As someone whose mom swung moods more often then the doors to the tavern, you need to seek someone with more stability. If you got married and ever had kids, and she just up and left you and relapsed into her her life of sin(as my mother did with my dad) the toll would be great. It's better now than later that you accepted this fact. Besides, she could end up abusive towards your kids, like slapping them until they turned black and blue just so she could take her frustration out.

I used to attend a Presbyterian Church, but it's becoming increasingly clear to me that the Presbyterian Church is not the right Church. My mother told me she left for another Church, and I was hopeful for a moment until she said she was going to a Unitarian Universalist Church. I think I was able to express to her why I think Unitarians are wrong, but I don't think she intends to stop going. My father doesn't go with her, but on the other hand that means he isn't going to Church at all. Please pray for both of them.

I feel sick but I have a fishing trip with my father tomorrow. I leave for the military in six weeks so this time with him is important, and I just enjoy fishing in general please pray for my healing.

Pray for me, anons. I'm feeling so depressed, i feel like i have no future, i live in morally and financially broken country and there are no jobs here and everybody is getting more stressed and violent. i don't know what to do anymore to overcome these negative feelings.

I’m scheduled for a job interview this Friday.

Please pray that I get the job so I can get enough money to visit my mom and to make sure my girlfriend and dog will have a roof over their respective heads.

Friend, I obviously don't know you, but from what I can tell, you seem to have a big problem with pride, commend yourself to Jesus and Our Lady, and pray the Holy Rosary asking for them to show you how to become a more humble man at heart.

[Proverbs 11:2] When pride cometh, then cometh shame, but with the lowly is wisdom.

God Bless. I'll have you in my prayers along with all of my brothers in Christ that need it in this thread.

>>812810

>Problem with pride

I do have a problem with vanity, but not pride. I'm fully aware of how bad I am. I am constantly trying to please everyone because I'm a fool. The difference between vanity and pride is that the former is all about what we want others to think of us, rather than pride, which is what we think of ourselves.

And you solved my problem, it is because I have no spine, and I hate myself.

>>812810

You know, maybe you were off base, maybe not, but I've decided that the only option is to submit fully to whatever my parents say, following the 5th commandment I will not be angry at them. I am still a dependent, therefore still under authority. I will renounce my plans if called upon to do so, for it is God's will as stated in the scriptures.

It just hurts.

I am going back to confession today first time in months. Please pray for the holy spirit to guide me back onto a righteous path and I do not get lead astray again. God bless.

>>812775

You likely hold hidden resentments towards your parents, possibly for justifiable reasons. You seem to be denying the truth to yourself, causing undue stress and straining your relationships with others. It would be the type of thing to talk about with a counselor if good ones existed. I'd pray and think about it or talk to someone you trust and try to think about what happened in your childhood to cause this strained relationship. I'll pray that you gain insight.

>>812948

Possibly but it seems like a test of faith; there just isn't any other way.

I want to come back on the right path. Please pray for and with me.

Also, please pray for me to be able to resist the urge to watch porn. My urges are so bad I got turned on by a sock advert

To all my brothers in Christ ITT, I have prayed for thee, I had you in my prayers last night while reciting the Holy Rosary and again during the morning when I woke up, I asked our Lord the most high, and Our Lady, to guide you in the right path. God bless.

Pray for you. Keep on, keeping on, man!

>>813062

I'll try to give some advice, even if i'm young myself.

First you've got to remember that you must first seek the kingdom of God and after that, all things will be added unto you. I congratulate you for trying to be righteous, however, i think you might be doing that so you can get material good and sucess. But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is saving your soul and reaching the kingdom of Heaven and pleasing God whatever it takes, with shooting yourself or attempting to get a deal with the devil as options, it's clear you don't have the ultimate goal in mind. I am not doing this out of malice or to chastise you, just trying to guide you. Read the book of Job. The lives of the saints.

Also you are so young! You definitevely hasn't wasted your life or something, you barely started out! Relax a bit and don't be so hard on yourself. Talk with your parents, i'm sure they will understand your struggle.

Listen, all of us here don't want you doing anything stupid. I'm praying and rooting for you!

God love you

>>813086

Genesis 22. God asked Abraham to sacrifice the gift God had given him back to God. Once God could be certain that Abraham feared Him, he could keep the gift.

Ask yourself; could you offer your life plans upon the same altar, with nothing but hope? I'm going through a similar phase, where my plans may not meet with reality, and I was angry also, but there is no need to be. It is because (so I've read) you have found favour with God that He tempts you like he tempted Abraham.

Be detached from your desires, and you will get what you need, rather than being estranged from what you want.

Losing faith, pray for me

>(ask once, you don't need to ask forgiveness for every individual thought as this will just cause you to dwell on it even more)

Yeah, this is what I struggle with. I end up praying for forgiveness after each instance of an intrusive thought (and I have a ton of them). It makes it difficult to function.

>You don't need to panic. Relax and understand that the thoughts will stop soon, just get on with your day and occupy your mind with other things.

I think this is part of the problem for me, I struggle with scrupulosity and feel guilty occupying my mind with other things when I think I should be worrying about these thoughts.

dear jesus, please forgive me for being born

>>813484

"Resist not evil". Resitance will make you dwell on it. I discovered it when going no-fap, the thoughts would slip into my mind at every possible time, and I ended up thinking about it more than before. Do not resist it, just ignore it. Easier said than done, though.

Self loathing is the previous state to really accepting Jesus. I'll pray you'll come to love Him and appreciate your life, for it allows you to love God and be loved by Him.

Hey anons I've been on SSI for the past 5 years for a panic disorder. I'm 25 now and finally got my drivers license. I'll be moving to a new state and looking for work but I'll probably start by doing volunteer work at a church to get to know others and get closer to God. I've been putting off all my problems for years and now I have to face them head on. It seems daunting but I have never felt more confident with putting my faith in God. Please pray for me as I will be praying for all of you also.

Pray for me brothers. I live with father and we're having arguments to the point of insanity, it seems all he wants to do is get annoyed with everything I do driving me mad while at it. Its getting to the point where he is thinking of taking on me physically.

Now he is a old man and I try my best to be patient, but I just reaching the breaking point. Now he is getting annoying with my smoking (in my own room), and you know how stressed smokers can get without their smoke.

I know I'm already too old to be living with parents, but its just something I don't have the conditions to deal with right now.

Please pray to give me patience, to end his stupidity, and for conditions for me to move out.

>>813742

I'll pray for you, and also pray that you can stop smoking.

A couple of my friends are suicidal. Pray for divine peace and joy to be in them

I might be donating marrow sometime in the next few months, not sure yet. Apparently I'm a good potential match for someone in need, but I still need to do a few more tests and screenings to be sure. Please pray for me, I want to help out but I'm also kinda nervous because I've never done this before, the most I've done is donate blood. I keep telling myself that I can put up with a little pain (or a lot, I've heard it's pretty painful) if it means saving someone since that's what Jesus did for us.

Anons, pray for me and my family. There are some crazy people who are trying to take our money, they unfairly sued us. But the real problem is we live in a very violent country and the people who sued us are sociopaths and they know where we live. I'm very afraid of being murdered by these people, pray for the protection of me and my family

I had you in my prayers this morning. God bless you and all my brothers in Christ in this thread.

Jerimiah 29

29:4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:

29:5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant orchards, and eat the fruit of them.

29:6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters: and be ye multiplied there, and be not few in number.

29:7 And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be carried away captives; and pray to the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall be your peace.

This poster here again. I wanted to say that this person is on their way to recovery. Thanks to everyone who sent their prayers. I thank God for helping him defeat his illness.

Feels quite selfish to ask for prayer for myself, and no one else.

but i feel like shit, and not good. my prayers do not work to fix this. if you have the time please pray.

also please pray for forgiveness for calling god the N word in anger. this is not a joke.

Hi Anons,

My wife and I live long distance and we have had a good relationship for 3 years (we are only legally married). We were meant to get married under God this year after paper-work was sorted out. She feels God is drawing her away from this relationship or that we have produced "bad fruit" and some aspects of the relationship were ungodly.

We have had our ups and downs, however, I believe God doesn't want us to split up and simply, this is a trying season.

If you could, please pray for reconciliation in our relationship.

Thank you and God bless you Anons.

Update: There was a lot more going on internally than we thought (cancer, thickened intestinal wall, low heart rate,etc.). We couldn't watch her suffer, so we had her put to sleep. She was in my arms, curled into me because she was always super attached to me and I didn't want her to be scared.

I said St. Basil's and St. Francis' blessings while we were waiting, and offered a prayer for her (even though I know animals aren't fallen like we are). I know a lot of people don't think animals go to heaven or have souls, but I was taught otherwise. I just ask that you keep her in mind. It's honestly really hard to type this atm. My grief is pretty surreal, but I don't know where else to go. I know God has a greater plan, and I know I shouldn't get in the way of it, but still it's a bittersweet thing.

Please pray for my niece, it seems she was suffering from gastritis due to meds, she's being treated right now and my family is worried because she's so little.

I repent.

Flesh is nothing but a cloth you wear on Earth. Christ is eternal, the Kingdom of God is eternal. I refuse to indulge in ungodly pleasures of the flesh. My poor soul has suffered enough.

I chose death over life too many times. I want to be with my lord Christ.

Please pray for me.

I was a Catholic inquirer a long time ago, but I've fallen so far, and I'm afraid to start taking steps again.

My grandmother was murdered recently. The police said she passed in her sleep, but she was found nude with bruises all over her face with the bed covered in blood. She and my father were estranged but recently had been talking more. My dad is about three states away cleaning up her home now and making all the arrangements. He's been harassed by her neighbors (bad people) I wish I had gone with him but I couldn't get out of work and he wanted me to stay home with my mom. Please pray for his safety and for the soul of my grandmother.

Sorry I accidentally deleted and reposted that post.

>Have you ever been diagnosed with autism?

Suspected but never diagnosed. I was a smart kid growing up and read a lot of books so I quickly caught onto the fact that my therapist was testing me for autism. She stopped seeing me soon after that.

>>817092

why is this post still up

>>817092

Well you clearly have it

>>817269

Thank you.

I had her since I was 9, so she was with me for 12 years of my life, and was always super attached to me. And obviously I was likewise attached to her, so it's been really rough the past few days. I was about as close to her as any other family member if not more so she used to sleep in my room, she would knock on my door even when I was at college, she would rush to meet me whenever I got home from school, she sat with me when I was home alone or sick, etc Like I said, I was taught animals have souls and god cares for them, so all I can really do is pray. I hate posting in this thread because this seems so minor next to all these other issues, but I don't know what else to do.

Again, thank you.

Boo hoo

Life ain't fair

Get over it

Also, newsflash, prayer doesn't work the way you think it does. Spamming an anonymous italian rosary praying board your desire for wealth won't win you brownie points with God.

God will give you what He thinks is best for you, and getting an injection of over $300k dollars won't magically fix you problems in the wise words of Biggy Smalls, Mo' Money Mo' Problems

Learn some humility and accept the situation you are in. Read the book of Job and be more like him.

I had a lower back injury, and now I injured myself again by squatting too low. I wanted to get in shape and do something with my life, but now I will be bedridden for the next weeks. I know this isn't as grave as most other requests here, but please pray for my speedy recovery anons, I can't even sit down for more than a few minutes at a time.

I received a text message from my friend informing me that a different friend of mine committed suicide on Wednesday. We weren’t incredibly close, although we would talk and joke with each other and I considered her a friend of mine. Please pray for her loved ones to be alright during this troublesome time, and for those who drove her to death to improve

You think this is some kind of joke?

Please pray for me that my feet stay planted with this solid roof over my head. My fear of homelessness is very real. Causes me an great deal of anxiety,stress, fear, and suicidal thoughts.

Hey anons, I thought about coming here and ask you to pray for me and this other person, but after a lot of water under the bridge, what is the point of just keep asking for stuff? What about a prayer for you instead!?

>anon just wants a roof over his head

You got your prayer anon.

>anon who wants to be a ZOGbot

What one can say? You got it anon.

Struggling with intrusive thoughts and scrupulously. Please pray for me to be able to function. Also that I can resist the urge to masturbate. (I know there's a thread for that, but I thought I would ask here too while I'm at it)

I've been through countless failures these last 6 months. I lost my father, and my dog ​​was like a brother to me, and everything has gotten harder in my life. I think suicide, but I hope God's mercy covers me.

Hello, Brothers.

I humbly ask of you all to please pray for the nice gentleman that returned my wallet to me after I drop it at the gas station literally not even 2 minutes ago.

He could have easily made off with a lot of money but instead he chose to do the right thing. Please pray for him and ask God to bless him with many blessings.

Please pray for this woman, and for her child, and for her father, and for her lover.

So, i have 2 requests, which are wildly different, but such is life.

First of all, father has a weird mole that got biopsied.

Preliminary tests show it's likely to be non-cancerous, but still, we are holding our breaths a bit until the results come in during the second half of the week.

Secondly, i have a date with a really sweet girl monday night.

Pray that it all works out, my heart is charmed in her presence.

Please pray for me guys. Life be hard but these last days mean many more, thinking of checking out early. I'll pray for some of you aswell

Hello,

I've been turning in sleep a lot and I can't seem to get quiet in my space. I was hoping that someone could pray for my peace and sanity and I have been having a lot of suspicious dreams as I feel I am being decrypted. I almost feel like there is nothing I can do about it.

>>818259

I will pray for you.

>>819505

Well I just started posting so it won't completely die

Please pray for this child and his father:

https://savejames.com/

https://youtu.be/kUG-3Yh8RYY

His mother tries to indoctrinate him into thinking he's a girl, and tries to terminate the parental rights of his father (an Orthodox Christian) for refusing to go along with it. Please ask the Lord to fight for them in court, to protect the child from his mother and from this whole transgender madness, and to lead the mother to repentance. And ask the Lord to glorify His name through this.

My scrupulosity and intrusive thoughts are really bad lately. Whenever I do almost literally anything I feel guilty like I've committed a terrible sin if I'm doing something other than reading the Bible or being at Church, etc. I then get intrusive thoughts along the line of saying WtP God. It terrifies me and I almost can't function.

I ask you to pray for my baby nephew. My brother is an atheist and likely won't baptize him.

Please pray for me, I'm terrified that I may have let Satan enter me. My mind is a mess right now and I can't even keep track of what I was thinking, but I think I, unintentionally or not, said the Devil could enter me, possibly with the reasoning being that proof of the Devil would also be proof of God. I was dealing with major scrupulosity issues so I wasn't thinking straight. This isn't the first time I've had the thought of letting Satan enter me, but usually it's clearly an intensive thought. This time it felt like it might have been at least partially intentional. Like I said, I'm struggling with intrusive thoughts and scrupulosity, so my mind is a mess and I can't keep track of what I'm thinking, but please pray that I'm not possessed and any evil will be cast out.

Some loved ones are in a pretty unusual situation but they are having to go to place to place as they do not have a stable place to stay and it changes day to day. Please pray for them. I don't believe they are Christians but the point still remains.

Please pray that my digestive issues be healed. It's become unbearable.

Pray for my aunt that is in her last stages of Cancer and can't walk or hardly do anything, she's such a giving and unique person, always faithful to God and to her family, she's gone through so much, we're trying to believe for her miracle. And she's trying to believe. Praying for her healing. Some days I believe for her, others I feel doubtful. She taught me a song on guitar once that's a christian adaptation of Snow White's song; someday my prince will come, except it's about Jesus coming for his church, she's such a special person.

Apparently her health is improving, but I'm still really, really worried about her. Please pray for her.

>>823278

I'll pray for her.

I'd like to ask /christian/ to pray for my friend Natalie. She's made a lot of poor life decisions in the past few years and even struggled with drugs and alcohol. Thankfully, she's sober again, but she's still a mess. She's still young and we don't want to give up on her yet. We've done all that we can. The only thing we can do now is pray. Her aunt was the one who asked if I could get my friends to pray for Natalie, so I agreed and brought my request here to you, anons. Please pray for Natalie that God can intervene in her life and deliver her from sin. Thank you.

Please pray for the soul and the loved ones of the child that got murdered in Frankfurt today, and for his murderer to be brought to justice.

I’m falling prey to my anger and wrath too much, I frequently slander God and use His name in vain and blaspheme. Years of this nonsense is hardening me, I’m beginning to hate prayer due to the repetition of these emotional cycles. Pray I’ll get better or die before I lose my love of God entirely.

>>821355

I realize looking back that this post might have seemed like concern trolling, but I'm genuinely terrified. Last night I told myself, or maybe it was an intrusive thought, that it wouldn't matter if I couldn't tell anyway. Please pray for me.

pray for me brother, for i have gravely offended Our Lord.

i'm going to a seminary, but i have a great problem with luxury. wat do?

what kind of flesh mortification can i do?

>>824654

Is luxury associated with greed or gluttony? What kind of luxury are you attached to? Physical riches or just rich and extravagent food? Or both?

If it is food the solution is easy. Go on a fast for a couple of days and try to limit yourself to only one meal a day. If it is physical riches, im not too familiar with but what embed related suggests is to give.

Remember, God is the one that gives you everything you own but He also gave it to you so you may freely give to others as well. Give and share your luxuries with your fellow seminarians.

I believe your seminary director might require you to live like a homeless person for a period of time in order to help you understand what it means to be poor in spirit. For there's is the kingdom of God.

I'll be praying for a brave man like yourself. God love you. Also, consult your spiritual father as he would know more than an anon like me.

Looking to join the freemasons. But the fact that there are christians out there who oppose the fraternity is worrisome. Pray for me that I might have absolute clarity in this decision

yeah, i was struggling with women and porn and this kind of stuff. the father at the church i go, is very liberal. the church here, where i live, is very strong in the theology of liberation, so, i cant really ask him stuff like this. don't get me wrong, i love the guy.

>>824833

"7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us." 1 John 4:7-12

Pray for me to be able to forgive all the people who've wronged me in life, but mainly my mom, who has caused much of the problems I have today due to how she raised me.

This seems to be one of the hardest task that I've been given as a Christian. I know it's the right thing, I know it's something I'm SUPPOSED to do, but I just have very little will to do it.

Please pray a rosary for my divorced and remarried father's conversion to Catholicism and the conversion of every other non Catholic

Life is really shit. I'm not sure for how long I can continue like this.

I don't believe in prayers, how can we interfere with God's will? Why would God want contact with corrupt immoral beings?

>>825149

>Why would God want contact with corrupt immoral beings?

Cause he love us, even if we don't deserve it.

>I don't believe in prayers, how can we interfere with God's will?

We can't. Instead, we pray so God's will may interfere with us. Why do children collect flowers and bring them to their mothers? Surely the mother has no need for those flowers. Yet the children need to show their affection, to praise their mother. In the same way, we pray to praise the Lord, not because He needs our prayers, but because we need to get closer to Him.

Please pray that my best friend will come back to me soon.

Please pray for me as I am having intrusive thoughts about Holy figures in inappropriate ways.

Anons, I was raised baptist, but it never really stuck. Looking into it I realized the Catholic Church was the one true Church, and I started going through RCIA as soon as I got out of the house (freshman in college). When I come home, though, my parents refuse to let me go to mass (no car, they won't let me use theirs), and they drag me to baptist services instead. They constantly guilt trip me with my dad's poor health, or threatening to completely cut off my finances for college, and I don't have any friends that could take me anyways (I tried).

Please pray for my endurance, and that my family's hearts be opened to the Church.

Please pray for me and my girlfriend. We were tempted into sexual intercourse and I’m worried she may be pregnant. I know she will not keep the child. I pray that she is not pregnant and we have learned our lesson.

I have just returned from my Great Grandmother, who is now on her death bed. She will most likely leave this world tonight. Upon my return, I have found my sibling and my father fighting in denial. My sibling is blinding himself with attempts to make this a drama like the cartoons he watches on television. My father is blinding himself through wrath towards the latter over matters of respect to him. My mother, grandfather, grandmother, and even myself are all in panic and sadness from this. I ask of you all to pray foremost for my grandmother to have safe passage into God’s kingdom, as she was one of the most God fearing woman I have ever had the honor of meeting. As well, I ask of you to pray for my family to be guided by the light of the Lord and out of this darkness.

Walk the path of sadness and be saved - Saint Ephraim, this is one cross you have the capacity to bear with great suffering, yet dignity and withstanding, which is the best thing to do for the both of us, sharing in this avenue.

Please pray for me, Im afraid my friends are converting me to a nazi

Please pray that I find Truth.

I am considering converting to Christianity but I am not sure yet. I can't lie I have many doubts. I had a deep conversation with a friend about this yesterday. I have tried taking the apologetics route but I feel like I need some kind of spiritual experience.

Anyway just pray that I find spiritual Truth wherever it may lead.

My friends, please pray for me and the church I've begun to attend. I've been raised a Christian for a majority of my life. That being said, I haven't been that man that He would want me to be, and I haven't necessarily lived in Christ in a long time. Recently though, I've made a friend who has reintroduced me back into the church and has revitalized my interest in my religion and relationship with God. I've only attended this new church two times so far, but I've made a concerted effort with my current job to allow me to at least get Sunday morning off so I can attend. So far, they've made me feel very welcome and I'm extremely grateful that they've allowed me to worship the Lord with them, but it seems that the church will be running into some strife here very soon. Our current pastor and his wife are moving across the state to tend to family matters are will no longer be able to attend the church near the end of the month. As well, the best friend of the friend who invited me is moving out of the country for a long time, and she's been a long-time member of the church. On top of that, another member who has been there for 10+ years is moving within a month or two. So this very tiny church is going to get even tinier. Please pray that we might be able to find a temporary, if not permanent replacement for the pastor, and pray for those of us who attend who are losing their fellow churchgoers.

TL;DR pray for my new church to find a sufficient replacement for our pastor who is moving. And as selfish as it sounds, please pray for me. This is the closest to God I've felt in a long time. Thank you all.

I am still very young, but nonetheless I have fallen into despair and depression over the thought of growing old and facing death. I know heaven is a place I should want to be, but the thought of leaving everything I love here behind is still crushing and terrifying to me. Please pray that God gives me peace.

Please pray for her well-being and salvation

Those demons at MSNBC are trying to say that our President Donald Trump is a criminal. They are attacking our friend and ally Roger Stone. These athiest liberals are ruining our nation, and I just want to pray for our dear President and his loyal friend in these trying times. These are good Christian men that are being persecuted by the liberal media daily.

Has anyone noticed? I suspect trump is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. He is the pale rider. There is some kind of order to what has been going on.

We already had the “The First Seal: The Rider On The White Horse” an no one really noticed. It was ronald reagan. The false prophet reagan established the twisted beliefs many have right now: privatization since the government can’t do anything right, the fake story about the welfare queen to solidify the hatred of the poor and those who need help, ketchup is a vegetable for poor kids, the belief that the corporations have all the answers and so on. He was the false prophet bring all this crap and making it sound pretty. He also open the door to Osama binLaden. He laid the foundation for everything that has happened since and is happening now.

This brings us to “The Second Seal: The Rider On The Red Horse” otherwise known as W (bush). He made sure we wound up in the perpetual conflict we are in now. He called it a “generational war” remember? He made war cool again.

Things are going so great we seem to have skipped “The Third Seal: The Rider On The Black Horse” — famine. Maybe the order is wrong.

Who do we have now? Noticed all the disease? Notice how the government area designed to address this type of problem are slowly being destroyed? Notice the same thing happening with anything having to do with science which is need to fight disease, famine, ? How about the Katrina-like treatment of Puerto Rico? I don’t need to point out anything more about Puerto Rico. Even the bees are being threatened.

Trump is “The Fourth Seal: The Rider On The Sickly Green Horse” — death, disease and so on. The main disease he is bringing is the mental disease that seems to be spreading all over. It is the hatred, fighting and killings we now see more than ever. The boy who was hanged by some idiots. Have not heard about any real penalty. Lt. Gen. Jay B. Silveria, Superintendent of U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, had to tell the racists to get out in a speech due to racial slurs.

It is as if people are being infected by some kind of virus. They have always been there and they know it is now time to come out. Is there a better way to spread all the other diseases?

The trump disease continues to spread now in Las Vegas. Once again we hear “the worst mass shooting in history” and we can expect to hear it again the next time. The shooter was not Muslim or Mexican in case trump somehow tries to make a connection.

Trump is bringing out the crazies just like reagan if you will remember people “going postal” in the 80s.

Why do I make it so hard on myself to pray? I almost overwhelm myself to the point of failure……

I cannot stop masturbating. I pray everyday for the strength to resist, but I fell like nothing is happening. I feel like I am getting nothing out of my prayer. Please pray for me.

Pray for me that the Lord may give me the wisdom I desire to further understand him and his methods. I feel like I tend to struggle with whether what God does is right or is not but not so much is there a God. Hopefully that makes sense.
