Prayer Circle
Related: About this forumLife is getting me down and my faith is being tested
May I please ask for prayers for clarity and purpose in my life? Im going through a difficult time right now but compared to some, I realize that I am so blessed!!!
I feel guilty even asking, but I need help in figuring out the right path to take. I need the frustration and confusion to lift and some peace in my life so that I can get back on track and think clearly.
I believe that God is teaching me something very substantial right now and I need the courage to surrender to that. I struggle with my faith a lot but I know that He has not given up on me.
I am grateful and I want to grow spiritually but something holds me back.
Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts for me.

(15,443 posts)Being outside and making myself take some down time have helped. I agree. I see God when I see nature and living things.

Because all love must be selfless to be real. Never expecting favor, or even thanks, for doing what clearly must be done.

(8,079 posts)God knows what s/he is doing. And the answer is inside of you. And all paths will lead you to where you want to go, but the best path to choose is the one with heart: I wish you courage! A long time ago someone gave me these words, I'll pass them along to you: Feel protected, and above all, feel that you are on a path in which what can happen is to simply become aware of your own preciousness and to live as a precious being.

(9,999 posts)everything that happens TO us, happens FOR us. There is a lesson in everything we experience but sometimes we can't see it until we get through it. Sometimes, it is simply a matter of having survived the worse and emerging stronger because of it. Wishing better days for you.

(15,443 posts)Its finding the lesson through a solution whatever that solution may be. Hard work to get there. But you are absolutely correct in that whatever it is will be FOR us once we emerge on the other side.
Thank you.
