Feeling Lost please pray for me

[WhiteTiger2999]

God Bless you all for being on these forums, posting - repleying, and praying for those who need it. As i am slightly new to this forum, I have tried my best so far to fit in, and as it seems I have done so pretty well so far. Thank you all for caring, in Gods arms we are all loved.

Though I ask for one favor, please pray for me, for in times of feeling lost, confused and alone in life the Devils temptations sometimes become way too strong. In my journey for the past few weeks to embrace my faith once more, and learn more about it, to strengthen my spirit and heart as it feels so broken from a few past events in this month and last, I find myself thinking I am praying in vain. I sometimes forget the great gift God gave onto me last month, to save me in such a way..(as in a way I feel my soul was picked up from the dark depths of Hell embraced by Gods hands, given a new jolt of energy and zeal for life again and just plopped back on the cement ground expected to go on with no guidence.) Are these thoughts those of one who doubts?

Thank God for your struggles.... every struggle that you defeat is stored in Heaven.

Do not let your shield down as I did recently.... "The sign of the Cross and the Jesus prayer."


Forgive me...

i will pray for you......focus on God and you will overcome.....i recently found myself backsliding and being overcome, i found that when I lost focus on God, temptation would strike.....keep your guard up.....

In Christ

Be careful not to define your spiritual health by your emotional climate. [I spent a lot of years in the charismatic movement where everything is viewed in light of emotions, so I know the dangers there.] Often the enemy attempts to lead us into despair by making us feel emotionally separated from God's love. This is merely an allusion, for we know that neither height, nor depth, nor any principality on heaven or on earth or under the earth can separate us from God's love. As you can imagine many have fallen into apostacy over feeling of depression and spiritual coldness or indifference. We must battle against such feelings with the truth, which is that God's love for us cannot be altered by any circumstance we may be suffering through. We must battle also with our prayers and fasting. We all fall daily (or hourly) so if we don't learn to get up over and over really well, eventually the enemy will succeed it tearing us away from Christ.

We are praying for you in your struggle. Pray for us.

My prayers.

Try to attend an Orthodox Bible study. This helped me tremendously in my walk with Christ.

Above all, faithfully attend all the Holy Services you can. Make that a habit.

Excellent advice.

I'll pray, too.

Thank you everyone for praying, I feel the love of God each and everyday become stronger and stronger. Though life may give us hard eight balls, we must just hold our heads up high in the air and scream out the Lord's name, fall to our knees and beg for salvation. Thank you all for praying once more, and I shall pray for you as well.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God.. Have mercy on us, sinners. We know not what we do, though please give us the strength that we may follow in your steps to live in the Kingdom of Heaven beside you. Though we may be doubtful at times, fill us with knowledge and love that we may spread the word of Truth and seek salvation for each other, for we are your children, beloved before your Fathers eyes. Pray for us Ever Graceful Virgin Mary, for all women to see you as the model female, that we may all follow in your path and not be tempted by the Devil himself. Amen.
