The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

What are some ways of penance and atonement i can do to pay fore sins? I blocked 4chan and hooktube after falling into lust. I want to make up for it anyway I can. I was praying for 2 weeks and felt loved. It was Beautiful. I have not felt loved that much in SO LONG. My Family loves me but I don't feel it. I crashed 2 weeks ago and tried Lust to fill my heart. I knew it wouldn't but like the IDIOT I am i resumed. I turned away from God even as I tried to help others with their faith. I put my rosary out of site in shame. I just want to feel loved, I feel Lonely and hopeless. i don't know what to do…

WHAT IS GODS PLAN FOR ME?! I DON'T KNOW AND I FEEL HOPELESS. I WANT TO FEEL LOVED SO MUCH

PLEASE HELP ME

Pray in Jesus' name. God knows you're tempted, he knows you struggle, he knows you try, etc. Just do things around the house, anon. Cut grass, clean your room, do the dishes, etc. Do things to get back to a normal routine. And keep going to church.

The dust thrown up by your fall blinds and disorients you, and you have thoughts which rob you of your peace.

—Have you sought relief in tears by the side of Our Lord, and in confident conversation with a brother?

(from St. Josemaria Escriva's "Furrow")

God knows your weakness and wants to help you. Don't give into that false kind of shame that makes you want to distance yourself from God, holy things, etc… this is a trick of the devil to keep you wallowing in your sin. It's good to feel shame, but bring it to Christ (in prayer now, and in confession as soon as you can make it). Shame won't do anything for you without His support.

As far as reparation goes, you might consider giving up meat, sweet foods, etc a few days a week, or even taking up a day of fasting. Don't go too crazy with this if you don't have a spiritual director. Another good one is to shift your wake up time earlier and use that time for prayer, getting out of bed immediately. These kinds of penances are great because sloth and gluttony both feed into lust, so not only are you making reparation, but you're also helping avoid future sin.

God bless you, anon. I'll pray for you.

Don't get overly emotional. It is a trap that saints warn us about. You see, OP, when you rely too heavily on feelings and emotions, especially when it comes to God, you are activating the dopamine receptors in your brain that make you feel good. Eventually what's going to happen is those dopamine receptors are going to get used to feeling good and you're not going to feel that same emotional High as you did before. When you start losing that emotional high you're going to end up thinking that God has abandon you. When you end up thinking God has abandoned you, you turn into a fedora.

It's tragic but the Trap that we should always be looked on the lookout for. Have you ever noticed in Christian artwork that Jesus and the Saints are always calm? It is for a good reason. The calmness that our Lord and the Saints are there for us to emulate so we may always remain calm and be at peace. We should always remain calm because no matter what happens no matter how we feel no matter what mood were in could always rely on the Lord to be there with us always. Even if you don't feel like he's there he's always there with you that's just part of the faith that we as Christians always hold.

Also feel no shame in what you feel it's what every human goes through. Right now you're just experiencing some spiritual warfare between you and demons. Be brave and pick up your sword (rosary) once more. Go forth and know that the Lord your God will always be with you.
