Experiences w/ God Christanon 06/23/18 (Sat) 06:12:06 38e84a No.664663

Sometimes I wonder where God is. My life sometimes seems dark and just meaningless…not even depressing just meaningless. Please post your experiences w/ God or art/music you can see God in

Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now am found

T'was blind but now I see

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear

And Grace, my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares

We have already come.

T'was grace that brought us safe thus far

And grace will lead us home,

And grace will lead us home

Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

T'was blind but now I see

Was blind, but now I see.

This song always cheers me up. it's so beautiful, the story behind it is beautiful. i think i like the judy collins version best.

I used to be a satanist before I found Christ and repented. Back in the day I started having interest in Christian faith and my entrance was the most holy Rosary. In the beginning I wasn't even able to speak out "Gott" (because I'm German) loudly without utter disgust striking me. But I went on with it … because my reasoning back then (and I was right) was that when I can't speak out the word loudly in any other context than harsh blasphemy …. there is something that isn't right with me.

So I continued to go through, praying the Rosary … as good as I could (it took me months to get through one Rosary of 5 decades of mysteries). And then at one point I had an experience … at some point I was (and meanwhile I managed to pray it fully) praying the sorrowful mysteries - and when I came to the fourth mystery (Christ bearing the Cross for us), I completely broke down - mentally and physically - when I imagined Christ carrying the weight of the world (back then I didn't formerly know of the way of the Cross) so much that I fell and couldn't get up again. I went through with the decade and eventually I could get up again … and at that something .. someone … layed a hand on my shoulder. It was like all weight fell off of me, because I realized … I don't have to dwell in wickedness, I can repent, I can do good and reject bad and God and all His saints and angels will help me if I ask for it. A kind of feeling filled me like when someone's telling you "don't worry boy, it's alright - everything's going to be alright".

That was the day I decided to become Catholic and never look back into the abyss that was my life (spiritually).

Moral of the story is: If you feel empty, pray. Because supernatural faith (i.e., real faith, not the "I know God exists") is granted through God's Grace. It is a gift that you obtain by asking for it. When you're having troubles, go to a church (Catholic, orthodox, protestant - as long as it's Christian and not JW or mormon) witness a Mass/Divine Liturgy/service, talk to the people - but most importantly: pray.

I hope that helped. May God guide you on your ways !
