Lord heard my cry. depleted by work for over 3 months now and it won’t improve any time soon. Thank you Mother Natalia for the reminder to stay focused on God ❤
I’m a graduate student and been fighting with stress and severe anxiety for about 6 years. Constantly overwhelmed about the amount of work, deadlines and expectations. I’m trying to learn to put all things in His divine hands but it’s hard to let go of my bad habits. Oh Jesus I surrender myself to you, take care of everything.
Hi Wendy Sometimes the work in itself it’s very exploiting that’s what happened to my dad he’s worked all his youth and adult life now he’s burnout seeking a lot of doctors because he’s lost a lot of weight. He’s and engineer in software design always under stress, cortisol is taking up his body. This has a lot to do with the copy mechanism one has also a lot with the development of character. There’s people who are not mentally healthy to handle so much stress. My dad had complicated life + constant stress and no solutions = bad choice for living. Some people need to heal and mature more before handling so much responsibility that’s what I’ve learnt Just wanted to share
@@CarloAcutis-nu2ge Thank you for sharing your dad's story! I didn't know what I was getting into, I had no one to tell me. Now I feel like I'm biting more than I can chew. This should be my last year and that's why I do not want to quit now. But I have given all I've got, there is nothing left. I hope your dad finds relief very soon, he deserves a good rest. God bless.
@@wendy8406 my dad is in the same situation he’s worked like 30 years and he’s about to retire but it seems like he cannot take one more year. I would appreciate a prayer for my dad he’s not Catholic. I hope the Lord gives you light don’t forget personal prayer
Thank you, Mother Natalia! I just lost my baby boy in March and am pregnant with another now. Last night, I had such intense anxiety when I saw a little bit of blood. I was immediately convinced I was losing another baby. My husband helped me surrender to God, and I haven't seen any more blood since. But whatever comes, may it be for God's glory. 🙏
Praying for you🥰!!! If it's any consolation, I had a miscarriage last year and got pregnant again right away. I bled everyday for the first 4 months of that pregnancy. Baby was totally healthy though! She's 3 months old now.
Needed to hear this today. Been working 75 hrs/wk for the last couple months, I was just received the sacrament of Confirmation today into the Church, and Im 1 month pregnant with our first child. Stressed beyond belief, but I know its just a season and to give my stress to God and praise him through it all.
Yesterday I battle a lot with frustration. My little boy really challenge me, and I was sad about it, sometimes it's very difficult to understand his behaviour. I just pray over and over "I am nothing without you Lord, stay with me, please". 🙏💚 I hope I do better next time.
I’m going through the same thing. The adversary wants us to always say “it’s just one more thing” or “I’m a victim” - instead, let go of the idea that bad things stack up against you and become overwhelming, instead, trust in the LORD and ask “where is Jesus right now” -- and ignore the thoughts 💭 which try to discourage you and make you anxious
Mother Natalia - this resonates with me. As I’ve gotten older, 52, I get frustrated with just “wanting to be done”, to not have anything more to do for the day or week. Drowning in a puddle is the perfect analogy cuz none of it is that big of a deal. I even have this with prayer… after a long day I can be frustrated with having to say my night prayers. Lord, give me the ability to seek You as these feelings in daily life start to take hold. Free me from the shame of being over stressed by coming to You. Jesus, I trust in You.
“We who mystically represent the cherubim and sing to the life-giving Trinity, the thrice holy hymn, let us lay aside all earthly cares.” I love this so much and often find it stuck in my head.
That line, and the line about commending "ourselves and our whole lives to Christ God" was what struck me during my first Divine Liturgy. As well as the prayer before communion. They got stuck in my head and I knew I had to go back.
A lot of things are going wrong and I'm trying to recover but every time I'm about to get back up, I am knocked back down. Thank you Mother Natalia for these words because they helped me. Expectations can make one have a distorted view of reality and drowning in a puddle does make someone blind to Jesus.
Thank God for Mother Natalia! Thank God for her ability to communicate Catholic wisdom in a simple, natural, honest and beautiful way. I’ve felt lost of late, unable to find my mission as I’ve fought a loosing battle against the loss of my vocation. She’s been a great blessing to me and helped me to learn to embrace whatever the Lord gives, even the pain. God knows I needed that!
The first time I went to a Byzantine Catholic mass the part you talked about ”let us set aside our earthly cares”… etc was really moving, actually the whole of that section of the liturgy. So I had to take a photo of that page in the liturgy book I was following along with (it was spoken in ukrainian and I had to read it in english…). Now and again I look at the photo and find it very encouraging. Thanks for your reflection.
The chasm between the expectations we have, and what reality confronts with, is indeed the source of enormous stress. So, Mother Natalia's observation is quite astute, as usual. A wise mind is one that tempers ones expectations, realizing that reality - a reality created by God - is not beholden to our expectations.
What a blessing it is to have Mother Natalia to give us a weekly video. My wife and I have some stuff going on with the family, and health related matters, and many small issues have built up significant stress/anxiety and this was the exact message we both needed. Bless you!
Mother, thank-you so much for this lesson. I've really needed it the past few weeks and have rewatched several times to get it through my head. It's been so helpful. Gob bless you!❤
Love the videos, Mother Natalia, growing more with your reflections. May Christ always hold you, and never permit your without Him, even for a moment 🙏🏼
U said it. We all get there, more often than we want or need. Thank U Sister. It is then, when i remember St.Padre Pio's words, " Do not Worry." & then I pray , " Awe, Jesus , I Trust in U!" Helps me anyway... 🇨🇦🤲🙏✝️❤️
Mother Nathalia, what a insightful talk! And what a beautiful prayer ❤ It's most difficult to stay strong when nobody is around to lean on, when you call out Jesus' name and you feel He doesn't hear you
Mother Natalia, this came at the exact moment I needed it 🤍 It seems like we usually talk about how to cope with big problems, illness, loss, tragedy - but sometimes life is just hard for a moment. I definitely feel that shame for struggling even though I have no big problems. Thank you for talking about this with such compassion and truth.
💯 we crucify Him all over again by complaining 🙏🏽 when I catch myself I often ‘bind’ the thoughts, or emotions in His name. Sometimes I will immediately notice a drastic shift right after back to peace, patience and submission to His will. Thanking Him all things. The trick is to remember and do it consistently every time. It’s a process
Wonderful video. I think I know the reason for cleaning the gutters. They needed cleaning. A perfect example of ora et labora. Using our work as a means to offer the experience to God in prayer. St. Benedict pray for us.
It’s so sad when I see my GP and talk about my faith and how 90% just roll their eyes at me. Like only your Dr can help you nothing else. The Devil has entrenched its self in all aspects of our life. I believe that my self trying to connect to the church has been constantly hampered by the Devil 100%. Please pray for me and I for all of you. 🙏.
We are blessed to have a family doctor who is a very devout Catholic; we always end up chatting about the Faith, and supporting each other in prayer. He has been our doctor for over 20 years.
@@mariano_buitrago I’m so happy for you. I truly am you must feel BLESSED.Sadly my Church is and has been hidden from the community in a lot of sad ways. Sadly money and politics has been allowed to divide a once rich Catholic community in a very small town in Western Australia.🇦🇺 But I keep praying making mistakes then praying again like a game of tug gar war . With the Devil and my fight for true salvation from Jesus Christ. It’s sad when darkness does that to a town. But I will never given no matter how hard the battle. AME
Still praying hard still begging the Church to help, I find it odd that we talk clearly and openly about evil and how evil works. However I’m a classic case seeking classic redemption seeking classic support from the Cathartic Church. I wont give up. One day I hope the Church can hear my plea for true support. Amen.🙏
Mother needs a set of vids on how the Byzantine Divine Liturgy works. Because of the situations in the LR, people are looking at the Byzantine Rites in Union, at least in Houston.
You got Neighbors, and they'll pull you through. Alternatively, you'll pull them through. I live on the Delaware Bay, so it's not hurricane season here till August/early September. One of my Quaker neighbors has a back-up generator; they're good people. Prayers for you, for your loved ones, and for your neighbors.
They can. Some of them feel grieved, so ideally, they pray and ponder on things, and then feel a slight remorse. On the other hand, if a male does that or anything of the sort, they are "unclean" until the next day.
12:58. : ) _Let us, who mystically represent the Cherubim, and sing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-creating Trinity, now set aside all earthly cares._
Complaining is OK. It’s all binary anyway. Acquiescence needs complaining and vice versa. Best to go with the ‘negative’ and accept it as part of the rich tapestry.
Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah Lee Clark. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
Lord heard my cry. depleted by work for over 3 months now and it won’t improve any time soon. Thank you Mother Natalia for the reminder to stay focused on God ❤
I'm in the same situation 3 months of stress, with some mental battles (addiction and panic attacks), but God is greater than anything!

This is exactly what I needed this morning. Praised be the Lord for that! Greetings from Genoa, ITALY, dear Mother Natalia!!!
How I needed to hear this. Thank you,Mother Natalia.
Whoa! I was JUST praying about this, I couldn't sleep and here I am 😳😂 I love God ❤

I recently got promoted to management at my job and I've been feeling really overwhelmed at times. the part at 8:00 really spoke to me.
Open my mouth Dear Lord, and I shall Declare Your Praise ☝️🙏
Good one for me to ponder and try to put it to good use. 🙏

Yes shortages of time, and too many enemies, and few allies. Meditation, but it only lasts 5 min. It sounds like more a mindset. 💖

You can make a lot of money from the

All you need is a good capital and the
service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.
