No, it is not, because I even say, Jesus please help me, I need to know He is there over anybody else. I know he knows why I am like this, He knows all!
"God loves us despite of our faults. Shouldn't we be saying, God loves me because of my faults? My faults are part of my make-up. God wants me to be the way I am, handing those faults the best I can. You are the way you are because that's the way God loves you." Thank you, Sister.
Try your best anyway and if you fail say it to God and begin again in peace. Leave all concerns in his hands. To fail is to be expected but what matters is you keep trying.
Thank you for sharing dear Sister and I'm sorry you have also travelled this difficult path. I agree with what you are saying. It's learning to cope with what we are dealt. Due to a huge amount of trauma and my genetic make-up I have bipolar and a complex kind of ptsd that makes my daily life almost impossible to cope with much of the time. Every day is a challenge, it's hard to keep going but I do it for the sake of my family as I can't put them through the agony of loss. It doesn't help when one is unable to sleep more than a couple of hours at night and everything is so overwhelming. Praying for all those that suffer too. Hold onto life which is so precious. God loves us more than we will ever know. Don't be afraid to take the meds, I struggle with this. The challenges we are thrown often seem unsurmountable but just hold on. Struggle with sitting at Mass? Watch it live online. God sees our suffering and is sad for us but willing us on.
Yes, I have never had this full on before like I have in the past 12 months or more. Damn shocking, and nobody knows, and I will say it, nor cares, as they brush it off with, Oh, if you need to talk, just give me a call. That is not a friend, again, pushing it back on you to do something, but I won't. People I have found to be of no use and I have accepted that, even though you listened to them when they had problems. I have cut so many of these away from me, they were not helping nor did they want to.
So sorry you are suffering also. I understand how it feels, this year has been overwhelming for me too yet I've kept trying. Sending love to you that the coming year will bring peace and health in all areas of your life. God loves us and knows our struggles.
Pray, pray, pray. I think the mental illnesses all have an intrinsic connection to Jesus’ mental anguish in Gethsemane and through them we come to understand higher things. And Jesus said to his disciples “pray” right as he was entering into his Gethsemane hardship,
Isn't the fullest version of "me" my glorified self? I am not my faults right? My faults do not define who I am but rather destroy who I am... Perhaps she means how our strengths come from the same brokenness our faults do. Perhaps Sr is trying to say that we should not reject our proclivities and our inclinations which we often have no power over, because these sensitivities which are out of our control are not our fault or guilt, but rather we need to accept what God has allowed to form us. These sensitivities are what give us our greatest strengths and characterize our glorified self.
My question is, if he is a God of mercy, love and healer? Why he let people go into depression and let them suffer despite the fact they follow Christ commandments? Why he let people suffer even it’s not their fault?
Please pray for me I’ve been on an antidepressant for 30 years and I’m slowly trying to taper off of it and it’s very very difficult it’s hard to explain unless you’re going through it I keep telling myself that the Lord is with me and then he makes things all good but I’d like to be kind to myself right now
@@jodic8952 I want to see if I can live without it yes I’m on it and I live a great life on it no question about it I sleep well and I have had absolutely no depression or anxiety whatsoever on the 15 mg but I want so bad to try to have a life without medication
@@simonmic6653 Hi Simon, I gave up on people, but not God. God is everything to me! Please don't give up on your first love! He loves you beyond comprehension!
@@simonmic6653 they were remorseful and they repented. As for miracles; YOU are God's greatest miracle! Every time you look in the mirror; a great miracle is looking back at you! Life is a miracle! The ability to see with your eyes is a miracle! To hear with your ears; to speak; to breathe! Miracles are all around you!
@@simonmic6653 I think sometimes we feel that way like we wish we were never born when we forget that we were born for a purpose we may not know that purpose yet; but neither does a baby know what his purpose is but as he grows he becomes more aware. There's so much we don't know at this stage of the game; but we have to hang in there and fight the battles of life and know that we're going somewhere and it's not here on Earth; it's Heaven where we are meant to be for eternity. This life is just a test to show we will use our free will to serve God and to love him with all of our heart!
She is right nobody knows how depression feels unless they have gone through it ❤
Thank you for posting such honesty about depression, Sister. It is NOT a lack of faith.
No, it is not, because I even say, Jesus please help me, I need to know He is there over anybody else. I know he knows why I am like this, He knows all!
I wish I could give her a big hug❤️🙏

Amen 🙏
The BEST phrase ❤ LOVE LOVE LOVE this and thank God for shining through her!
Amen. Beautifully said, Sr Reed.

She’s absolutely right!
God bless you. This is exactly what I needed to hear.
Me too
Never thought of depression like that. Thank u
Thanks God for this Exactly what I needed

Is it me or there a rather big difference between believing
God Loves me in spite of my faults
Versus
God Loves me because of my faults
Jesus heal us all! 😇🌼🙏💙God bless u sister! 🙏🌼❤️🌼
Thank you sister. I worry so much. I am trying to handle it. The way you said it helps

Thank you for this..with my depression s..I've been told from other Catholics it's fr the devil Which spirals you further into the abyss

Oh no, it's not from the devil, but it's always from someone normally close, in my case my mother!

Please Lord,Heavenly Physician heal my daughter's right arm torn rotator cuff and all my emotional distress 😢😢😢.
Wise words
Yes
💫🌺🌹🌻💫
I have this problem yet l actually know god love me. Even knowing that there just no answer but accept me as l am a mess. Then again who isn't
God made my personal makeup. If you don't believe it, you're forever fighting and not accepting reality.
I don’t know why the Lord decided to give major depression again.Ill never know…I was doing so well after months and now I’m so low 😢
❤
I can't get out of bed, and feel like the worst slothful sinner.
My question is, if he is a God of mercy, love and healer? Why he let people go into depression and let them suffer despite the fact they follow Christ commandments? Why he let people suffer even it’s not their fault?

May I ask why you’re tapering off? If you were diabetic would you taper off insulin even if you needed it?

Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy.
Look into nutrition vitamin d , magnesium, fish oils. Maybe of some use to you.
Praying for you now and sending love.
I need help.
