Is simple, written in Lord's prayer, On Earth as it is in Heaven, ..the pursuit of excellence , think of an Italian garden, is it earthly or heavenly , its almost a bit of both , heaven and Earth held in balance . Heaven on Earth isn't something that can be bought on Amazon, it is also honesty, fairness, forgiveness, compassion , justice, generosity , personally speaking I find a bit of heaven in the professionalism of others , people that have pride in their work, that is Heaven.

God doesn't always answer all my prayers, but last year, when I was going through a cancer scare, God took care of me. I still pray that he takes care of me and the growth doesn't return. I was also in a major car accident several decades ago that has left me in chronic pain. While my prayers for a full recovery weren't answered, God did take care of me. I was able to walk even though the accident may have killed me. Also, even though I couldn't work again, God has made sure that I was taken care of financially and that I didn't live in poverty. I will always trust in God that he will take care of me even if that means not getting everything thing I want.

Why do you think god had anything to do with it? Why isn't his intervention in our lives a violation of free will? Why did he let you get in a car accident that led to chronic pain if he helped you with your cancer scare? Did god personally send you a check or did another human send it to you? Why do you conclude any of these average, ordinary events are god and not random chance in life?

Amen!!! As I was recently diagnosed with cancer, the fear of the treatments, the surgeries, and the future, brought so much doubt to my mind! Then one day God reminded me to surrender all to him! Although my prayer of it not being cancer was not answered, God has blessed me throughout all this! I am learning so much of Him, of His love for me, I am learning so much of me, so much of my faith! So I thank you Lord for never leaving my side! As I sit here going through my first round of chemo, once again you show me that you hear me, and you stand next to me! Maybe it’s not a smooth journey, but you give me the courage Lord! Prayers for everyone!

Fr. Mike just described me about 7 times in that video, except I was the timid child too afraid to ask my parents for anything. I was always considered the child that would become a priest because of my faith as a child, yet I was always afraid to even say the name Jesus in my prayers. Now that I’ve grown in my spiritual maturity I’m just now realizing how small and weak my faith life was that reflected so accurately my own timidness brought on by being so afraid to talk that I would say the wrong thing.

I grew up Catholic but I also don't ever remember being taught to ask God for anything for myself personally. I remember always being asked to be grateful for the little things I had since I live in a city next to Mexico aka third world country and from this proximity to that country I could witness first hand what EXTREME poverty is. Made it worse that I myself didn't grow up rich or even middle class for that matter and this always made me feel like I was unworthy to ask for more than what I had. As an adult I still have problems asking God for personal things due to all this I have in my mind. I think I am selfish and or undeserving of asking for things like personal help, better job opportunities and more so financial blessings. Please pray for me as well 🙏🙏

I have to say - I liked the use of the term "a crisis moment in prayer." It's not a crisis of *faith* for me. But the desperation. Feeling unheard. Devastated. Yes - a prayer crisis. Almost only in my prayer life for myself. I do recognize and believe that God loves those I pray for way more than I do. But when I'm praying for myself, it's more difficult to imagine he could love me, even more than I do though my love for myself is terribly small. And yet, glory to God alone. And all thanks be to Him for his grace and goodness. Whatever blessings I'm able to count in my life are far more than I deserve.

My son has alienated himself from his family and friends for "love" 8 years ago. I am struggling because I miss him so much. I have prayed for years that he come back to us. He also has abandoned his Catholic upbringing (and so has his wife) I changed how I asked God for him to come back to us a few years back and have asked in the past few years that God promote him and his wife allowing God back into their lives. I feel that if this happens then his hatred (and hers) will vanish. I love God and still believe in him but I am losing faith after my "cries to heaven" have seemingly gone unanswered. I worry that I will leave this world without ever hugging him again, and also meeting my 2 wee Granddaughters who are my only Grandchildren. My heart is broken and when I pray to God (and also pray to Mother Mary and St. Monica to intercede) my prayers are filled with tears.

I have thought of this some time when I was praying. I spontaneously asked "If I love them [my family] this much, and You - God - is Love and is the source of love, then you must love them a hundred or even a thousand times more than I do. And if I am hurt just by seeing them undergoing through this situation, then I can only imagine the hurt that you are feeling right now because you love them more than I do. And so I surrender to you in this prayer knowing that you love them more and that you know what is best for them because You are our Father. Let your will be done Father, I surrender them and my heart to You in love". When I say this in prayer, it gives me relief knowing that this is now a battle that I do not fight alone.

You should do your own research outside of class before joining, including reading the entire bible with your thinking hat on. Especially if your class is not very intense. I have taken multiple RCIA classes, and they were disservices to the students.

​@@eduardohoover2127 Classes were very low energy. The teachers were not very knowledgeable. They could recite some verses, but lacked real understanding and historical knowledge. They covered basic beliefs, but did not engage in substantial discussions. There was no bible reading in class and no requirement to read the bible or demonstrate basic understanding of the religion before joining the church. "Miraculous" things like appearances of Mary and hosts generating heart tissue and blood (red mold) when soaked in water got extra attention. Students were not engaged. It was a disservice to the students because they were passed through without understanding what they were professing faith in. It was a disservice to the church because their new members didn't fundamentally understand their beliefs, didn't know the bible, and will not be able to defend their faith in the future.

I asked God for two important things in my life; they were really important to me I sacrificed a lot to got them. But none of my prayers were answered. Even I can't see any kind of hope rather things are becoming more worse. I dread to not bing heard of prayers anymore and deprived something important to me throughout my life.

Thank you Father Mike Schmidt for explaining this to me. I greatly appreciate it. And yes I do feel that my prayers have gone unanswered. Or that God is ignoring me. And it breaks 💔 my heart. Because I pray for so many people and I pray for the whole World. For God to have mercy on the whole World🙏 And I pray for myself as well. But I also remember to thank him for some of my prayers that he has answered. Like thank you for always watching over me and my family and for protecting me! Thank you that I am not homeless. Thank you that I have food at home! Thank you for my husband's job! Thank you for blessing me with a husband who is a good provider! I do remember to thank him everyday! I have a lot to be thankful for! Again thank you for your explanation! May God bless you and your family! I pray that you have a blessed day 🙏 Thank you for all that you do! 😊

There is wisdom in your struggle if you choose to face it voluntarily with grace and humility. Often I prayed for myself but received no answer, but was reassured and given hope when my prayers for others were answered. I learned the hard way in hard times choosing acceptance and humility versus resentment and rage.

You know that feeling when you receive a STRONG impression NOT to do said thing (whatever it is you're praying for)? Yeah.. It's kind of disappointing in the moment, but RELIEF is knowing I'm trying to follow the Lord's will for my life, even if it isn't always what I want.. I trust my Heavenly Father even if I don't know what the future holds for me. Still a struggle sometimes though. Thank you for sharing Father Mike Schmitz! 🙏🏼💕

My prayers then and now we’re mental conversations with our Lord and the rosary (I did not say a whole rosary then , but I pray many now). My prayers were seldom answered. I’m losing faith because of this, but Jesus is all I got, so I trying to hang on but decided not to ask anymore, it’s less painful that way.
