Jesus please renew my faith because Lord these past three years have been so hard on me and my children. I want to give up. But I trust you Heavenly Father and I keep faith even as I struggle to pay bills and as I struggle to put food on the table for my two sons. As a single mother things are so hard on me. My husband passed years ago and both of my sons are autistic.Lord I’m overwhelmed. Father take away my fear of homelessness. My hours to work are limited because I’m now homeschooling my sons and what a difference I now see in them. Father God I’m so tired of constantly struggling. I’m so ashamed. But I choose to have faith as a christians that’s all I can do. Please hear my prayers. Faith is all I have left.
@@LiliGoof-gh4chwe’ve all seen it for years. She has many aliases; Minniemiller, etcetera. Maybe it’s therapeutic for her.
@@LiliGoof-gh4ch In that case, I’ll pray for her need to solicit attention. Either way, calling on Jesus to renew faith is never a completely bad thing. 🙂
This conversation was like the angel I have needed to sit on my left shoulder to tell off the devil on my right shoulder, who's been feeding my so many lies about my identity as a beloved child of God.
What is said in this video is the truth. I know it and I recognize it deeply, in an almost foreign place in my heart and being, because it is so unfamiliar to me - yet I know it is the truth and I want to know it far deeper... I want to truly believe that, but don't know how. So I guess what I must do is to trust that Our Heavenly Father is trying to teach me that at His own, perfect, pace
What a wonderful lady. Thank you, Mother
What has helped me on the path to holiness was the realization and understanding that I have a Blessed Mother who loves me and wants to form me as a worthy brother of Her Son Jesus. Just as Jesus subjected Himself to His Mother Mary in His youth, I strive to subject myself to Mary as Her son in all my thoughts and actions, and to do Her will, which always conforms perfectly with our Lord's will.
Matt, we are on the same page when you said "if God said 'don't cause your family any unnecessary grief' I'd be like oh well I'm screwed." It occurred to me just a couple of months ago that maybe the path to Heaven for me is as simple as being patient with my parents, but how can I possibly learn to do that?! Some wounds run deep. Big ask. Bigger God though. Still figuring out how to let Him do His thing.
I must say that strive 21 has been a godsend. There was one of the most moving testimonies from a woman who turned her life around by the grace of the Lord. Day 15 I think it was.
It has been the best way to reframe the issue. Don't be afraid to give it a go.
Thank you Matt and mother Ilana. Very insightful.
This one is truly difficult though. Who doesn't want to be healed or perfect? Some of my sinful tendencies are downright ugly, petty, prideful, and annoying.
Holy crap I needed to hear this. I pray nearly daily for St. Therese to intercede for me.
Hurt my ears your two first words.
This was great. Thank you🙏🧡
Yep ! God is so good .

I really wish more people could find your channel

Nuns are so inspiring 🖤

I pray that you get the strength to continue to care for your children. I'm so sorry that you are struggling . You are doing work by yourself that is very hard and I commend you. God bless you
So good for the scrupulous to hear.
I love this nun. What order is she from?
What's always confused me about this way of achieving holiness is how completely juxtaposed it is from something like, say, the Exodus 90 crowd who literally does the opposite: Attempting to beat our bodies into submission with raw will, the "child" *does* attempt to fix their own problems, and often become exhausted in the process. I'm having a really hard time understanding a logical synthesis between these two methodologies.
I’ve done the female version of Exodus 90 (Modify 90). It was nothing like you illustrated. It was very difficult…but I saw my weaknesses…the struggle helped me so much…& I physically felt better after all the sacrifice. I hope people will try it for a hard endeavor…but with hard earned rewards at the end.
@@mraemartinez I appreciate your experience, but do you not see the incongruity? Mother here repeats the refrain, "What happens when we try to fix things? They get worse", but how is imposing difficult tasks upon ourselves *not* trying to fix things?
@@wierdpocket You may be right in the long run, but for people who really need a spiritual boost & a primer on mortifications & ascetic living, Exodus 90 (& Modify 90) are a good place to go deep & sacrifice for God & others…maybe down the road what you put down will be proven. I will see after Jan 1st when I do Modify 90 again. The men have a way more difficult program as well. We women did not have to do the rigorous workouts nor the cold 🥶 🚿 showers 🧼 for 90 days.
@@wierdpocket Also, I am open to what you said RE Mother stating what happens when we try to fix things. A Protestant Reverend who I listen to preaches the same thing…& I believe him…& your point RE what Mother said solidifies his point…
I’m not entirely convinced of what I’m about to say because I’m still working through this paradox myself…but I think you can take on devotions or disciplines IF you don’t turn them into a religion of their own and don’t beat yourself up when you fail at them. It’s hard to moderate but that middle path can be very fruitful. You’re right that too many people focus far too much on their disciplines without accepting their weaknesses.
Is there anyone that can give me some Bible verses that would line up with this episode? I have a Bible study coming up in a week and I would love to incorporate this
John 15, all❤
Love these clips but the sponsor placement is horrendous. Especially in the one episode with Mother Natalia and the very sensitive and vulnerable conversation. It’s so jarring and seems distasteful because of the interruption
Ad placement is bogus, and especially for that ad.
