Fr. Gallagher pray for me. I struggle to feel the Lord near me when I pray. I feel as though he has abandoned me.😪

[@Sporington]

I think it might help to ask yourself these questions 1 are you moving towards God or away (If one maintains a habitual mortal sin or does not go to Confession that counts as away) 2 do you get correct sleep , leisure ,exercise and take care of your health? 3 have you prayed and meditated on why the desolation is there #I think that give you a starting point

[@juditthkilach4724]

FACTS. God said I will never leave you more forsake you. Trust in God and His Word even through tribulations.....Tell God how you feel but also read His Word, that is His Love Letter to us.

@@Sporingtonhank you this helps, i have allowed my prayer time to go from 2 hours to 10 minutes a day and the desolation is bad, it’s so hard to get back up there but I’m trying to start praying more again. The desolation thoughts make me think God is fake and therefore there is no point in confession, resisting those thoughts is so hard when God feels distant. I haven’t been to confession in 13 years and have a lot of anxiety about it and those thoughts put me over the edge. Please pray for me, I’ll pray for all of you in my rosary tonight. Father Gallagher has been amazing at helping me realize these are the schemes of the evil one (I’m glad he’s not that creative so it’s easy to spot), but that doesn’t make the attack any less painful. The first step to treating a disease is knowing you have it, Fr Gallagher has shown me these are the evil ones thoughts but the medication and healing from it are going to be super painful. I’m scared.

Her voice sounds so familiar! Does she do librivox? St. Teresa of Avila? Sounds just like her. Anyway I love these talks and spiritual books.
