How can one go from bad to good. What if that one person has allways looked towards the bad side and now wants to look towards the good side. what does that person have to do.

What if you were going to church and all of a sudden you just don't want to go anymore because your faith isn't all there anymore.You just lose everything. But now you just sitting around thinking about what could happen if you don't change.

How can that one person change so they don't end up where they don't want to go to in the end.

step out on faith- go to Mass as close to every day as you can- go to confession no less frequently than once a month- go to Adoration (even with Jesus in the tabernacle as opposed to exposed) for at least one hour a week- pray the Rosary everyday.

Do that- continue to desire to be transformed and grow in your faith -- and over time you will.

It WILL NOT be instant. A year or wo or more you will look back and realize how far Our Lord has taken you. But first you have to desire to change and then be willing to do things, actually do things, to enact channge. Merely wishing things were different won't make them different- you have to risk and pursue change with all you've got.

My life is living testimony to how far God can lead us away from our unfaithfulness and heal us of our brokeness-- it just takes TIME.....

I realize that going to church will help you restore your faith. I hope that it doesn't take that long to happen.

I hope that it doesn't take that long to happen.

All in His Holy Time, and not in our own. Also, I would go and talk to a priest if you're struggling with your faith.

I have to tell you in my case- it did.... and it continues- I have so far to go-- but one of the awesome things about the sacraments-- is that they give us the power- the real power- to perservere, to keep going, to keep trudging down the path to victory! To begin that walk, though you have to take a first step... and the another, and another, and another-- and pretty soon after taking one step at a time- you realise you can't even see where you began!! (It makes me think of the movie What about Bob?-baby steps!)
