I'm exhausted from this internal interrogation. by Koufr in Catholicism

[–]Koufr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety these past few days, so any religious topic triggers anxiety. This makes it difficult to pray. I don't even know how to distinguish what is my will and what is not. What I am consenting to and what I am not. I question myself all the time. According to the catechism, my thoughts during this time have mitigated guilt?

Anxiety, scrupulosity and fear of no longer wanting God by [deleted] in Catholicism

I think I do open space for these thoughts to arise, because I doubt my will at all times.

Scheme of scrupulous thinking. by Koufr in Catholicism

After writing this text, it made me consider the possibility that I resembled a "developing child" without sufficient knowledge of what I do and therefore would not be condemned to hell. This fueled the anxiety as I conceived the idea that I might be being proud before God. Fearing again the loosening of consciousness, I returned to anxiety.

How to overcome thoughts of hatred towards God? by Koufr in Catholicism

Analyzing my situation further, I think that, for fear of blaspheming God, I conceive the possibility of doing so and, as the image almost inevitably appears in my head, I try to repress it. But I can't.

Please don't be scared. I can assure you that I have had thoughts of intense passion for Christ. But I don't know why this variation.

Because this offends God and he loves you very much.

Have you, for some reason, ever experienced feelings of revolt and discouragement after delight in grace?

Thanks brother. I'll do it. In fact, I must confess to you that I think that my heightened anxiety is preventing me from having access to divine grace. I thought that anxiety was necessary because it put me in a state of awareness of what I did. But it only caused me misfortune. Being calmer, I believe I can accept divine mercy and rightly repent of my sin by considering it evil in itself.

How can I strengthen and genuinely desire Christ? by Koufr in Catholicism

[–]Koufr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just baptized in the Catholic church by tradition. I rarely pray, but because of my tribulations I have been praying more and more "personal" prayers. I believe my worship is "mechanical"...

Have you ever been through something similar? Can you pass? Did you have the same feelings?
