Sometimes, when you are in the thick of a mental battle, all you need is prayers.
No one is going to come save you, no one has all the answers for you, and no one is going to come tell you exactly what you want to hear.
Today at church I didn't honestly hear a word of the sermon and I couldn't tell you what the gospel was about.
I was so involved in my own thoughts and anxiety about things that I just used the hour to ask for some guidance.
But then, at the end of the mass the priest said, "have a great day everyone I am praying for you, and you are in my heart".
I finally tuned in.
I felt a bit of relief as well because I could feel it was genuine. He was honestly sending out good and true thoughts of well-being for everyone.
In my head I thought thank you, I need some prayers. Ha. But it was honestly a wakeup call as to sometimes that’s all you've got.
You have your prayers and yourself.
That can be scary. That is why you need to go out every day and keep promises to yourself.
If you can trust yourself, you should have no fear on where you are going, or if you will get there.
This is the hardest thing to execute when you are doing things you have never done before.
That is why we need to start small and build from there. Start with keeping one promise, then another and another.
It is hitting small goals consistently that will help us achieve those large goals in our minds.
Will there still be panic and fear? Yes.
Is it at least manageable now? For sure.
I am praying for all of you reading.
I hope you come to find all the things you dream of.
Even if they seem impossible.
