I had a great aunt who had the poem "Footprints in the sand" framed and pinned on the wall of her bedroom to read it when she needed it and I also think it's a beautiful poem to read when one's facing some problems.(01-15-2022, 04:38 PM)NoliTardare Wrote: As long as you keep praying, your hope, your faith, it's no sin to worry. But then you have put yourself the three things on the same level "praying, hoping and not worrying were extremely difficult".Yes, and if the emotions are getting in the way you cannot help that too much. You can make acts of the will by simply saying the names of Jesus and Mary. The Lord hears you.
Stop praying-> lose hope-> worry
Lose hope-> you worry-> you stop praying
Edit: You pray more -> you have more hope -> you worry less!
I think that's the hidden logic
We all have different kinds of battles to fight.
