When the Best Decision is to “Stay the Course”

[@j.m.8008]

I totally want to escape my PhD in the final stages of my dissertation. Stay the course. Please pray for me to finish. Thanks for the encouragement Fr. Mike / God.

[@franciscogerardohernandezR1979]

You will make it, I was in your position a month ago. The rewards for submission will be enormous, none if you surrender. May God grant you the strength, wisdom and inspiration to graciously conclude. Respect.

[@consistentbass]

J.M. may God comfort you and strengthen you. May the Lord grant you the grace to endure the final stretch with courage and resolve just like Jesus did, so you can also say in the end "It is finished." And once you have your Ph.D. you can use it to serve for the glory of the Lord. May He bless you with a tangible presence of the Holy Spirit and give peace that surpasses all understanding. Remember Jeremiah 29:11 ("For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.") Thank you Lord because you are our very present help in time of need. Amen. 🙏

My son had many setbacks but he gave them to God… he waited upon the Lord… in the end, he went on to achieve something so meaningful because he did not give up. Hold on and listen to the Holy Spirit, and know something good will happen!! God bless!! ✝️

"Don't leave the ship when the ship needs to be steered" is an encouraging idea and one I needed to hear today. Just putting it out there that not all ships can be steered out of the storm though! Don't make yourself stay in an abusive relationships or toxic workplace waiting for things to get better.

Just waiting is not good. Holding your ground on good principles is. With God’s help, and with the help of His friends.

[@GarciaVideoProductions]

Most people think this applies to men considering leaving seminary, but it can also apply to men considering leaving their Godly relationship for the priesthood! My girlfriend (who I will marry soon) has made me a much better man of God and vise-versa, it’s truly a sensational relationship and marriage is talked about all the time happily. (And as we know, Satan hates nothing more than a truly holy matrimony.) I have no desire at all to become a priest, but I thought that the thought “am I called to be a priest” popping into my head was a sign from God! But after riding that alarming thought out for a while and taking it to adoration, I’ve calmed down and realized I’m called to this beautiful relationship. Minor “scares” and intrusive thoughts are no reason to jump ship. God bless!

This came at the perfect time. I’m in the middle of a dilema of immigrating to another country. Not that my current situation is bad. It’s just that an opportunity to migrate has opened. The thing is I’m not sure if I should do it or not & if I’m just deciding because I feel uncomfortable with my current situation. But it’s not that bad at all. In fact I still consider myself so blessed & lucky. But at the same time, I feel like if I don’t take this chance then I might miss out on a good oportunity. But migrating to another country is not also a guarantee of success. Thank you Fr. Mike for this. In a way, this message gave me comfort & I’ll just trust the Lord with the outcome of my application.

As always, great advice! And there was actually a humorous component to this video, too. Coming from an Irish family, we are familiar with the "Irish Exit".

But an hour later, we still haven't even reached the door! 🤣 🤣

This is the second time I heard someone talk about the idea of letting God lead, instead of trying to lead God.

But I haven’t even taken the time to talk with the team leaders, or even church pastors! I have to trust in my Lord, the same Lord who created me with my giftings.

This is very wise advice and it makes very good sense. The old saying comes to mind "any port in a storm" in which a person will take any kind of comfort and safety in the midst of chaos or difficulty.

Also, your confidence and pride in finishing and succeeding is valuable in itself. That can never be taken from you. Also don't be shy to ask advice from faculty.

Thank you Father Mike, that answer has given me much clarity. My life has been such a patchwork of different roles I have difficulty seeing it as God’s plan. These days I often feel like I’m just living mechanically, and gone is the joy, “innocence”, and hope for the future I had many years ago. I’ve stayed my present course for nearly 5 years, and very few things have changed for the better. But it’s comforting to know that if God intends a change of course for me, the signs will be unmistakable, and free of doubt.
