Hi Everyone
I was baptised Catholic as an infant, went to Sunday school occasionally and attended scripture classes at primary school. Then did my first communion and confession at the appropriate age...was it about 10 years old maybe?
Since then I turned away from the Church, lost interest if it was ever there to begin with, as perhaps many children do if they are not forced into it. I always found it boring and not for me.
I've lead a happy life, with loving parents who provided well. Good friends and many opportunities and pleasures.
But my life has also been filled with much sin. Drinking to excess constantly, drugs, sexual promiscuity and infidelity. I have been dishonest and chased money and material things.
I'm now married with young children, and through my own sin, now find myself in deep, deep trouble. I can't even begin to explain it all. My family love and support me, but due to many reasons including but not limited to covid I am separated from them and have been for almost a year now.
Its now when I'm down and out I've turned back to God. To ask for forgiveness, to ask for comfort and the hope that I can be reunited again with my family soon in peace and love and tranquillity.
I'm attending church regularly, I go to confession to ask for forgiveness and I pray every day and night for help.
I realise I have come back to God, only when I have found myself to be in desperate need of help. The priest at my Church reminds me of the prodigal son, and that God welcomes me back, which I take comfort in.
I try to think of all the good things God has given me in this life. He has showered me with blessings. And now I fear my sins and poor life choices are about to take it all away from me.
So, hello everyone. There are more people more deserving of your prayers than me. But I pray that I may find comfort here, to learn some things, and bring myself closer to God.
