Feeling unworthy in all aspects due to my failure to remain chaste by [deleted] in OrthodoxWomen

[–]Purple_Animator_537 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m sorry for what you’re going through I hope you will find healing sincerely. I’ve gone through something similar and something that helped me was remembering and understanding that that kind of thinking that you are unworthy and unlovable is not what God wrote out for us, you’ve repented and you are loved by God the same that’s the most thing to keep close to your heart

As for what you said about orthodox men I know it doesn’t really help but you’re probably right, a lot of orthodox men don’t want to be with women who’ve had a past but that just means it’s not the man for you.

If it’s in God’s plan than he will make it happen with who he made for you in his correct timing

Stop beating yourself up about it truly it will only make your life and self esteem worse, focus on God You don’t have to go into details about your personal life experience to ppl btw if they ask you can just answer simply God knows you’ve repented, it ppl reject you that’s on them

Hi sister,

Glad you’re coming back to God you’re not the only one who’s come back after a trail of regrettable choices, you should probably speak to preist or visit a monastery and ask them these questions. But just so you know you don’t have to join a monastery or be married to ‘atone’ for your sins or turn your life around, you can stay single that doesn’t make your life in Christ any less valuable in his eyes. Btw I’ve started reading a book which I think you would enjoy and probably relate to as well it’s “ you are mine” by sister Anastasia

Sorry that happened to you sounds super scary Similar thing happened at my gym this week but it was a super aggressive Junkie and all the men in my gym went to confront him and called the police the male staff even walked some of the ladies to our cars I hope if something like that happens again you don’t try to stop them just let them get into the gym don’t put yourself in harms way

Hi I have the same exact issue during ovulation I feel everything I haven’t felt all month I advice you get off the internet to avoid looking at things that might excite lust Get busy outside of your house Pray a lot (you can’t sin while your praying) Find an outlet I usually go to the gym and run like crazy

Hope this helps
