  • Mari Pablo uncovers what surrendering to God really looks like.
    Anytime we face trials, temptations, or hard times, we hear the common adages telling us to “offer it up” or “give it to God.” But what does that actually look like? Where do we begin that process? Maybe there is no concrete “how-to guide”, but we can start by doing two simple things:
    1) Stop Fighting.
    2) Surrender.

      I was raised catholic and considered myself catholic into my 50's. As I read authors such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, etc and educated myself about an alternative way of considering our world and universe, I became agnostic to religion. As there is no evidence of a God or any of the incredible supernatural events taught by the catholic church, it became easier for me to go through life. I used to pray to "god" for all sorts of things, most of which never occurred. Now that I know there is no God, I put my thoughts and efforts into doing what I need to do to deal with life's challenges and to live a meaningful, rewarding and content life.

God is torturing me by placing a desire for marriage and children by being a loving husband but never, ever fulfilling it. I am turning into a black pilled incel.

We had always watched Father Mike from this channel in elementary school and I was curious to see who else was on this channel, I found this lady and something about her and her videos make me so interested to watch and I never got bored in these 11 minutes. I'm still very young and I just started high school this past school year. I have religion class in the next and final quadmester which starts after our March break which is now April break I guess since they moved it a month back because of covid, and I am so excited to see what they'll teach us this year. I am having such a hard time lately with giving God everything and I was scared of not knowing my path in life or what I'm supposed to do, but.. this is just it- I am not supposed to know but God is. This really helped me understand more. Great video, I learned a lot! :)

    Thank you for stating out loud exactly what I need to hear. I’ve been telling myself a lot of what you said, but hearing it come from someone else, said in a different way, makes a huge difference. God bless you, and please pray for me, I shall be praying for you 😄
