Good advice! Would only add something: if it’s not good for you and you ask God if He thinks it’s not good, than he helps you to figure it out or it suddenly just stops. So that’s what usually happens to me as I’m bad at choosing. So I made this deal with Him that he bewares me of the wrong ones. And He does a very good job doing it and I‘m thankful for it!

It’s true! There is always our free will but the more we allow God to guide our path, the more He provides what He would like for us. I prayed about my career, my house, my relationships and God has shown me what He wants in those then I have said yes. I don’t see why God won’t do that with a spouse. Sometimes God says, “No” and we don’t listen. God has given me graces I didn’t ask for. He can definitely provide a spouse because it’s natural. Every marriage is a service to the church so why wouldn’t He provide that?

Thank you, the way you explained this topic made me picture myself in a garden with God asking me to choose which fruit trees I want to plant, He offers me all good seeds that can bear good fruits it just depends which fruit do I like and if I want to learn and apply His method to grow the tree or not. Garden = My journey in life Fruit seeds = Options and choices in life He will guide indeed and bless the journey for He is God. God bless you all brothers and sisters ^^

You need to binge watch youtube love stories. You will find out that those who receive the knowing who their future spouse is all began by first asking His help in finding one. And by doing so they are asking for an arranged marriage from the Father. A common theme among the stories is that knowledge of who there future spouse is can be given well before meeting that person. This of course leads to some very interesting love stories like for instance a woman continuously rejecting a man persuing and then has a complete change of heart and marries him.

Very good teaching! When I was a senior in high school (1981!) I prayed and prayed about a career decision, and I got a pretty distinct answer: "I want you to go ahead and decide".. I puzzled and puzzled if that really could have been the Lord's voice, because I'd never heard that He might say something like that..

Got it! Become a good catholic and everything that follows would be fine as God could work through you and in you.

@alisterrebelo9013 Ай бұрын

Not only will it be fine, it is more than that. A short hand definition of righteous are those who follow the will of God in their lives, example, Abraham, St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The challenges that come with following God's will, are a part of what God either permits or desires that you experience. God knows that with His grace, you'll survive, thrive and come out the other side to become what he intended you to be.

Absolutely! I'm still single, I long for partnership but learned how to be single, and never stopped being of service to Him on the daily, whether it's outside the family, or my parents. Just be loving, real, useful, helpful, and stop over spiritualizing the "discerning" and "what is the answer"....just be proactive, patient and work on not just being a good catholic but. healthy person. - soul, mind and body. So much dysfunction out there and people think "just praying" will make it all better. WORK - effort. Humility.

@Jennifer-gr7hn 25 күн бұрын

Yes, thank you. It's very important .....we can't hear HIM,if we can't hear ourselves! I'm very thankful for a very rough childhood that brought me to Him very young..He was ALL I heard, thank God. I'm still single and struggling, but it taught me very young to listen well to others, and helped me with my patients. Listening is SO big and Catholics have a big problem with it as they say prayers a lot and possibly deceive themselves into thinking it's a connection but it's more so talking at God vs talking with and listening to Him. So big. I'd add another element.....prayer, confession, etc but also mental health, learning root wounds, attachment styles, etc. Important to know ourselves as well as possible.

What about when you feel like there are no choices?

@alisterrebelo9013 Ай бұрын

Father Timothy Gallagher has a series on discernment which would be very helpful. One thing you can do is, spend time in silent adoration and there in the presence of Jesus, ask God what He desires in your life, and if you've learnt how to distinguish between your voice, the voice of God and the voice of the evil ones, you may hear what your next step is supposed to be. Perhaps, there are other things you need to be doing before you find your spouse. There are loads of stories of people who found their spouse in the course of following a calling from God in some ministry.

@stevensedlmayr3562 Ай бұрын

That also is a choice..no is a choice. I did not find the right spouse until I told God I would not have anything to do with women until He chose for me. Until I submitted to Him. He must lead me.

@Jennifer-gr7hn 25 күн бұрын

@@stevensedlmayr3562 that's you and that's great, but sadly, many males use that as a lazy way to bail out of pursing and courting a woman. I'm glad that wasn't you, but as a single, chaste women mid 40s? I'll tell you, since the antisocial media came out? People changed...big time. So did the whole landscape, of..everything. Very sadly, internet addictions are real and have replaced the natural desire to work for the woman.

Take heart, sister. I am also asking God to take the fear of marriage away from me. I now want to do what God wants, not what I want. I've been doing what I wanted this whole time and now I've had enough. I've been tormented with doubts and fear concerning marriage and I wish I could just flee and become a nun, where I would be more comfortable. But I want to be brave, and do what God wants me to do. I like this guy, but I'm too selfish and scared to commit to something serious, to love him. Pray for me, sister and I will pray for you. ❤

Whenever I'm told that it's up to me to choose and do it under God's commandments and guidelines from scripture, all I can think is: I'm doomed. I'm so, so doomed. In my case, it's been impossible for me to not only find a high-caliber woman that I can both feel attracted to and admire, but also being worthy of said woman, having the stuff that she wants her man to have. So I'm pretty much counting on God to perform a literal miracle to meet this hypothetical woman, because I refuse to choose someone that makes me say "meh, she's fine, she's cute and nice, doesn't do much but hey, at least she said yes". And God forbid she thinks that about me, too, that would be pathetic. Where I come from, we have a term for this: "un peor-es-nada" (a worse-is-nothing). God please don't let me be that.

I know we have free will but... isn't the whole point of it to freely choose to obey Him??? 🤔 Seriously, I've seen multiple times that the angels and saints who are in Heaven technically don't have free will anymore... so I guess we should try to know His Will so we can do as He wishes? Isn't so? However it seems to me that He only exposes His Will in very rare special occasions, and not for everyone though...

@alisterrebelo9013 Ай бұрын

God is not going to announce His plan to you when you're not ready to listen and obey. For example, God saw Saul persecuting the Christians, but waited at least 3 years after the crucifixion before He reveals Himself to Saul on the road to Damascus. Why? Amongst many reasons, one reason is that God knew that Saul would repent at that moment as he had a history of doing evil things. God knew that Paul needed a mighty exposition of Himself because Paul was so stubborn, but God also knows when it is the right moment. I've heard stories of people who've had strong conversion experiences but didn't act on them sufficiently and their faith diminished. The idea that God doesn't reveal Himself strongly or that people don't freely reject Him is obviously false when you talk to enough people and learn about their experiences. Arguing that the angels and saints don't have free will is like arguing that God has no free will. None of the above commit evil, because it is against their perfect (God) and perfected (angels, saints) nature. Having a perfect or perfected nature is not a lack of free will.

@user-mv2tg8hc8c Ай бұрын

We are called to pray, discern, and do God’s will. We have free will to choose God’s path for us or not. He also gives us freedom to make choices and let’s us know when it’s not good for us.

@shadamyandsonamylover Ай бұрын

So, you spoke about free will - but how does that make any sense in the story of St. Therese’s parents? When God told her “he’s the one” as she passed him on the bridge? It’s a beautiful story - but completely derails your argument for why God does not do this for everyone else. You can’t claim “it’s because he values free will so much” when you also claim that Joseph and St. Therese’s parents had free will anyways.

@@albertodove4125 “Prayer” doesn’t mean “worship”. It never has, and never will. “Pray” literally means “to make a request”. Prayer to the saints simply means to make a request of the saints. The prayers of the righteous hold more weight in God’s eyes, see James 5, 1 Peter 3, Proverbs 15, Psalm 34:15, and Job 42. The saints in heaven are perfectly righteous, therefore, it is advantageous to ask for their intercessory prayer (just as you’d ask a friend or family member to pray for you, except the saints in heaven are undeniably more righteous since they are already in heaven). If you’ve ever heard the expression “pray tell”, that comes from the old English “pray”, which as I mentioned means to make a request. Catholics do not “worship” Mary. Worship means “to make sacrifice”. In fact, the Catholic Church has specifically deemed the Collyridians as heretical because of their worship of Mary, which the Catholic Church correctly identified as idolatry. Respectfully, you clearly haven’t done much charitable research into the topic of “Mary Worship”, as this topic has been addressed literally thousands of times in the past 500 years. I would invite you to do some charitable research into what the Catholic (which literally means universal) church actually believes before bearing false witness against your neighbor (which you did by spreading false information about what Catholics believe). I’ll be praying for you, and may God bless you!
