After many years of counselors, therapist, and psychiatrist I found God to be the best and now the only one I go to for mental help.

[@kipchumbabrian2002]

Same here.❤❤❤

[@Faye-el1bz]

Clearly it wasn't a chemical imbalance it was your perception that was off still you either haven't read the Bible in its entirety or you love the selective passages And you must already have children because the pope frown on contraception and IVF If you're young I strongly suggest that you date and sleep around a lot that way you'll really know what you want instead of ending up like so many idiots following god and end up with whatever is available because you're afraid you'll end up alone don't marry for the wrong reason don't listen to the Bible find your happiness

It is so wonderful when a person has such strong faith. I can only hope that I may be so blessed one day.

[@pierreaucoin2480]

I feel better now. Never felt I should pray for myself. I’ll give it a go.

[@genevieverose931]

What a wonderful instrument you are Sr Mary Grace, I wish you were speaking in our schools here in Australia, no matter I will follow your lead, pray and believe. I was crying and laughing during your talk, God has gifted you with a rare quality, humour in times of adversity. Bishop Fulton Sheen was also extremely gifted and has some fantastic jokes in many of his gifted talks. Holy Love and prayers Sr, people can relate to you and especially I'm sure the young. You are bridging the gap and reaching hearts and souls for God. Holy Love and blessings, and prayers for this ministry.❤🙏💕💖🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@thingamejignobodyknows4346]

I stopped and spoke to two Catholic nuns in my local store! She said we just had a little prayer! I held her forearm and she looked up then I conversed and gently held her hand and big her farewell

[@debbiehunt2800]

What a sweet teacher you are Sister Mary Grace, thank you for what you do!

[@isabelcastillo2394]

I did the Camino 2023 Sarria to Santiago and in September 2024 my husband and sister-in-law are doing the Coastal Route with me, starting in Oia to Santiago. So excited to show them the Cathedral.❤

[@ChildofGod98765]

Please pray for me and my children prayers are all I NEED. I know Jesus is coming back soon! So it is vital to trust in Jesus even when we are going through a challenging situations. Jesus I trust in you even as I struggle providing for my children. Jesus hear my prayers. Since covid I fell on a terrible hardship. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m a single mom, my husband is with God. My children are autistic. I’m overwhelmed because I’m struggling to provide for my children. I’m now waitressing and I’m so thankful but not making nearly enough. Jesus hear my prayers. Every month is a struggle not to end up on the streets with my boys. Every month I have a hard time coming up with rent. I receive so much hate for simply asking for prayers! It’s discouraging and making me question my religion. My faith is getting weak. The devil wants me to give up but God won’t allow it. I have faith that God will provide he has this far. All things are possible through Jesus Christ Faith over fear! ❤

[@juanvelarde9839]

Dear child of God, you are in our prayers. I am saddened by all you are having to endure. Trust in Jesus, He truly loves you. Reach out to your local churches and St. Vincent de Paul Society, they(we) are here to help in situations like yours. God love you and bless you for the courage to reach out in this comment section. I trust your request will not go unanswered for you and many others who are not as courageous. Much love and many blessings. Keep the faith!

[@mattnieri1202]

[@user-wo2kr1gu1c]

That is so true Sister Grace, when negative things enter my mind, evil thoughts I just repetitively say/ pray, "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want", until that evil/ negative thought goes away.

[@jamesgeorge5222]

Thank you sister Mary Grace, let’s keep praying for the youth including my granddaughters to find God and respond to his love🙏

[@mursahxiirow1501]

I have been crying out to God for years. I seem unable to get anything right. Everything falls through that I do. I am not picking selfish endeavors. Two divorces-1 schizophrenic and the other addicted to gaming, no career, but tons of schooling. I am beside myself. I am full of tears. Several family members have passed. I feel such despair. My heart is broken again and again. I feel like God does not want anything for me but suffering. I need a break through. I am 53. When will he care? I have done everything I can do that I know of. I know God hears me, but never says, "Yes". How can I always be wrong in everything I do?

[@Johnny285]

It is your way, our life is difficult, and it has to be. It’s your experience, and you can offer your suffering to Him.

[@jenh.6882]

When you say “God does not want anything for me but suffering” understand this. God does not cause suffering or death. He is not of those but he allows it. Why? To seek him, rely on him, and grow deeper in prayer/relationship with him. Every pit of grief, loss, and despair Jesus is right there with you. You are not alone. Jesus is suffering with you, let his will be done. Offer your life and suffering to him repeating “your will be done” no matter how bad you feel. Following him, he never promises your suffering will cease, but you will be the peace amidst the storm. I may not know you, but I believe in you. I am praying for you

[@cr3364]

I had the same issue. I cried out to him for 38 years. Then God sent the Mother of God into my life. Here is what I realized through Her. She always says yes to Him. No matter the ask. Her answer was yes. Do whatever Jesus Christ says. Read the Bible and go to church. Imitate Christ. He carried his cross in humility. He was a blameless victim. If you carry your cross with a humble and open heart He will change you. Your cross will be your victory. I am praying for you sister. You are a child of God don't forget that!

[@cynthialoza6295]

…"If My people who bear My name, humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and turn from their wicked ways, I Myself will hear from Heaven and forgive their sins…" (2 Chron. 7:14) I’m "You will see that in prayer you will find more knowledge, more light, more strength, more grace and virtue than you could ever achieve by reading many books, or by great studies. Never consider as wasted the time you spend in prayer. You will discover that in prayer God communicates to you the light, strength and grace you need…" (Sr Lucia dos Santos)
