So very true, Padraig. So many times I have to remind myself that they must have had to keep lifting their eyes and hearts to God which I must do as well. I contemplated this at Mass today as I asked forgiveness for the lack of placing all in his hands. Divine Will is my go to for lent this year. Oh most Merciful and Loving are you o Lord, I humbly beseech thee to look kindly upon me as I surrender all to you. Mary, mother of our Lord and to all of your children please pray that we be made worthy in the sight of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanks again everyone for the prayers. I keep saying that I claim Jesus's authority over all aspects of my life. It seems to be working, thank God! It has been a tough battle but getting there slowly.
So true! I also feel like I've been under some kind of attack in this house thru silence. I could almost think I'm being paranoid or self conscious. That's when my prayers lead me to a real sense of spiritual freedom! I have wondered if I'm here to be Christ's light when the Warning comes. Rather, I've now been given a 45 days notice to vacate. A week prior to that she canceled the internet. I strongly suspect she has a new provider and chose not to share the password with me when asked. My Dad offered me to move back with him. I can't yet afford somewhere else. So tomorrow I'll secure storage. I have 2 strong leads, one that will enable me to save enough for a downpayment on a modest condo plus a cushion. The other is far better. While I have until March 31, my goal is mid month. We are ALL UNITED HERE in prayer! Some of us also have our tight people off forum. Though "open" I am grateful for open wifi & high data limit on my phone.
I have no idea of whats meant by spiritual attack? How can you tell if its a spiritual attack or not? One type of attack that i received was my passport stolen and my baggage gone missing when i arrived at LV airport. It was very strange cos never lost passport and luggage together. That was 6 years ago. They found the baggage after 40 days as it was going around baggage carousel for days. They informed me that my bag was missing when i landed at LV airport then BA passport officer took sveral passports from us travellers as he never returned it back which led me to report to LV police next day,. Strange experience.
Thanks Mary's Child. God is also revealing to me not to delay in forgiving people from my past if I want to heal from certain wounds and how in pardoning we are pardoned. I think this is important - that if I expect His forgiveness I have to forgive others.
Just included you in my Divine Mercy chalet. The gospel for yesterday Sunday was the necessity to forgive our enemies. I'll continue to remember you in my prayers
It's never easy but remember it is in the will. If you will to forgive--and say it to Our Lord in an act of will-what you feel doesnt matter. He accepts your act of will. If you are struggling to get to this point ask Him to forgive within you. To do it for you. He will. Truly.
Prayers Joan. Such a good person, you have my prayers and for what it's worth my great sympathy. A big Cross.
