I am reading my Bible more. Not enough but more and am somewhat praying more. Having said all that I need and want more. I want to get to the place where I accept what happens as God's will with no worry, anger, jealousy. Can anyone out there relate?

Please pray for me and my wife R.
We've only been married for four months yet our share of downs outnumber the happy ones. I've always been the one to initiate patching things up, but I don't know how long I can keep it up. Each day that passes, it's been getting worse. I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be, but she always makes it seem like I'm the worst person in the world. She refuses to listen or acknowledge what I have to say. It's always about how I hurt her, and how everything is all my doing.

Please please pray for strength, commitment, openness, humility, and understanding for us both. I love her and I really want to keep the marriage intact.

Thank you, and I pray that no one out there will ever have to go through difficult times that we are going through. ]]> Prayer Intentions silver216 http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=798458 http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=798442&goto=newpost Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:27:54 GMT I need your prayers. Im in a deep depression and anxiety. I've made poor and regretful decisions in life. The only way I fall asleep is with sleeping pills. First time posting. I use to enjoy reading threads in this forum and said a few prayers for other people that asked for help. I've never been this desperate in my life before. I'm coming off of drug abuse. I used steroids for about 3 months and I'm withdrawing. I sometimes have the feeling of just wanting to be dead. I never thout I would feel this way from using steroids. I have a 14 month old son and A girlfriend who I never had the courage to marry because I've always had someone else on the side. I've had 2 other girls that I lied and seduced just to have sex with them. My girlfriend has no idea. One of the girls was 18. Im 33. For some reason I feel I have to turn here for help. I believe in god and love Jesus but I've been living my life without care for sins. A lot of bad events have been happening in the past 4 years. I got fired 3 years ago and then fell into a depression and didn't start working again till recently. I survived cause I still live with my parents and had a lot of money saved up. A few days ago I called the suicide hotline because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I wanted to be dead but I would never have the courage to kill myself. It's just a strong feeling to be dead. I'm turning here for prayers. For help. I go to church but I feel dark. Nobody knows I'm suffering. I haven't confessed lately. I'm catholic and love being catholic. If anyone is listening can you pray for me. I'm in pain. This is the lowest point in my life. ]]> Prayer Intentions ocast8 http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=798442 http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=798439&goto=newpost Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:21:13 GMT I am really not feeling well at all and don't know what is wrong.
