Talk to one of his agents. Since the pope is gods respresentive on earth, and under his guidance the agents are shown. Provided that god is infalliable than the agents appointed by the pope are direct link to god.\n\nIf your protestant prayer works aswell

I would suggest that you sit down and have a frank discussion with either your doctor or a spiritual leader like a Priest.  Either one will have had specialized training that can help put you on the right road and neither one will judge you or belittle you.\n\nGood Luck! and Good for You! for recognizing that you need help.

Perhaps you need to stop praying at God and surrender to God. Your attitude clearly shows that you feel you are the god of your life and are unwilling to even consider who the one True God really is and what He might want for your life. Try saying this prayer from your heart and out loud.\n\nDear God I have struggled with who you are and why you have not done as I have asked and begged for you to do for so long. Where have I gone wrong God? What is it you want from me? I mean I admit I am a sinner you already know that. Why then won't you do what I ask......Oh I see that would make me God and I have been telling you the Creator of all things what you should and shouldn't do. Please forgive me Dear God. Help me Dear God to understand. I can't do this anymore and I now surrender to my Creator. Dear God i accept your Son's death on the cross as payment for all my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I give you my life from this day forward. Please send the gift of the Holy Spirit to live within me from this day forward to comfort me and Guide me all the days of my life. I thank you for all you have already done for me Dear Jesus and I ask you to help me to understand what you want me to do with my life and why I have gone through so much. I accept the Holy Trinity, there Persons yet only one true God. In the Holy name of my lord and Savior Jesus Christ I pray all this and accept you now in faith, Amen

You will need to check all directions and guidance from what the Bible teaches anyway so one of the best things you can do is to read and study and familiarise yourself with The Bible - a bit like the Bereans in Acts17/11.\n\nGod through the Holy Spirit is able to guide and lead and open your understanding, especially through The Bible. Just ask Him, and watch and pray.\n\nHaving said that it can be very helpful to have someone who can help spiritually and I strongly suggest you pray to God Himself to provide you with someone suitable. He is well able and it would be a good spiritual excercise to place it in His hands and wait on Him for His answer while you look.\n\nIn addition, if you are able to meet with other Christians that can be very encouraging and helpful and probably it is best to take time to get to know them to find out who is trusworthy and Biblically sound.\n\nMay God's provision prevail.

Father, I do not know this person for whom I am praying right now, but You do.  You alone know all there is to know, you know her needs, her sorrows, her joys.  I just ask You this day to guide and direct her, to protect her and to remind her that You will never fail her or forsake her (Deut 31:8).  I pray that she will always keep You in her heart.  In Jesus name...\nAmen.

I pray that your eyes will be opened to the Truth, and you will come to Know Jesus as your Lord and Savior.   anything else will lead you down  the wrong path . Accept the truth about the Lord........ you are so lost.

Dear Priest,\nI am writing on behalf of the youth. We are requesting that you release the funds necessary for us to purchase musical instruments. It says we are to praise him on the instruments, so please help us to do so.\n\nDear people,\nThis is to inform you that we wish to have you join us in being Patrons and Metrons for our youth. Please help us, thank you.

You can start looking in Deut.28:  It will tell you some things, and if you have a study Bible, should give you more scriptures to go too.  Seeking a Spirit Guide is not a good thing.  First of all, that will open doors for evil spirits to come and deceive you.  Remember, satan comes as a angel of light.  He is the Father of Lies, and it is his job to deceive you in all ways.  Even if you do find a spirit guide, then you are in really big spiritual trouble.  They are not what they appear to be, or what you may think they are.  They are demon spirits!!!!!!  The only Spirit Guide you need is The Holy Spirit, He will guide you into all truth.  Any other spirit is not of God.  Please, do not go into that realm.  Seek Jesus, He is The Way, The Truth, and the Live.  God Bless You

Go straight to the very top where God is!\n\nHebrews 4:15-16 \nFor we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.\n\nLet us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.\n\n\nMatt. 7. 7-11\n"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.\n\nFor everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.\n\n"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?\n\nOr if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?\n\nIf you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Hi HAresh,\n You have asked for a lot of informaiton. I do not know where you live, but if you live in a country where christianity is restricted, it may be difficult to find a christian pastor or leader to help answer your questions. But first, if it is possible, then try to find someone near you , so you can spend all the time you want talking to someone.\n\nFirst of all the God of Christianity is a God of love. He sent his son to help us because we were sinners, and did many things wrong. We deserved to be punished, but Jesus took our place for that punishment to show his love for us. If we tell God we are sorry for the bad things we have done, and trust Jesus for his sacrifice for us, we will be accepted into God's family and live forever in heaven with him. \n\n Some people pray to earn their way to heaven. This way, if they get to heaven, they can say they earned it. We pray because we want to be close to God. We cannot earn our way to God. Jesus took this work away, and replaced it with his love. Love is the way to heaven. \n\nIf you cannot find a bible near you, please let me k now and  I will send you one....\n\nIf you would like a free copy of my book, I can send it to you electronically.  It tells my story as a christian. It is written in story form, so it is not just a book of facts. You learn as you read the story. Let me know if you want a copy.... see my link... don't worry about any money.... God's love is always free to those who are looking sincerely.\n\nwrite me if you wish.. ask all your questions.\n\nmtioran@yahoo.com

Like most Roman Catholics I pay lip service to my faith and am terrible about attendance.  Orthodox members take seriously the obligations of the sacriments and of course the holy days of obligation.  The orthodox do not recognize the Holy Father as Christ's Vicar on Earth.

Be very careful about "web" priests. Anyone can pretend to be one.\n\nI suggest you walk down to your local parish and have a friendly chat with one in person.\n\nWith love in Christ.

This is easy, just talk to a priest or catechist or really any minister in the church can direct you to the correct person in the parish you wish to join and tell them you are interested in RCIA, I am assuming you are an adult, and they will help you.
