Will God Heal My Wounds?

- In this video, Fr. Mike encourages us to go to God in our weakest moments. As God answered St. Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Using the life of St. Catherine of Siena as an example, Fr. Mike shows how-when we let God into our brokenness-he can do wonders.

I have depression and major anxiety problems...I've always prayed for God to just take these feelings away from me, but just a few hours ago I prayed for Gods guidance instead and.. Well I log onto youtube to see this video :)
I would like this comment 70x if I could
Schism704 I literally just had this happen to me. God bless you. I will pray for you.
Ohhhh thank you for posting this Schism! Im trying to dig myself out of the well at the moment and I've been asking God to take these feelings away too. I never thought to ask him for guidance! Thanks so much for posting your comment, along with the video, I feel like I can see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks to Father Mike, too. Fantastic video as always.
You can overcome those problems easier than others. How, we need to start trusting God that he will meet our every need.Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Depression? Is often linked to sin. I can't tell you where you are going wrong only you know.
Oh? Mother Theresa went through terrible depression. Ever read her story? I doubt it's on account of sin.
"God doesn't just heal us from our wounds, He can heal us through our wounds"
Sobering yet truthful.
Amen
Yes
Amen
Accepting that statement amounts to tolerating the wound and accepting the wound. God can do better: he can just heal the wound simple. Not through or from. Just heal the wound. May be if you explain what you mean, i might see from your perspective.
Here I am in the hospital, clicking on this video by accident. I totally needed this, thank you for your insights father.
I pray that you're doing okay!
Dear Father Mike,
As a survivor of 911 I have much anxiety in my life. In my small group community at church I came to realize that this "gift" of anxiety causes me to depend on others. Through this dependence I feel the love and support of the people around me. I have to put aside the feeling that I must fix everything myself and depend on the people the Lord has sent to me. I have to humble myself. I believe this is what God is teaching me. Thank you for this video that helps me along on this path. God Bless you.
God Bless. There's too much of this attitude among society to do everything one self or way too much dependency but in the end we need each other.
Someone said, “the cracks are where the light gets in”.
❤️❤️❤️
Leonard cohen. There is a crack in everything that’s how the light gets in
"Our wounds are God's access points to our hearts" WOW!!! What an amazing perspective. Thank you so much for all of your amazing words of encouragement.
Outstanding!
"Freedom is not the ability to do what I want, freedom is the power to do what I ought"
"God wants our heart more than he wants our healing."
Amen.
Thank you Fr. Mike🙏
So profound. "God wants your heart more than He wants your healing." I am a widow and in the midst of my mourning and grieving, I'm so hurt that God took my husband from me but, I knew I had to let him go to Jesus. I'm trying so hard to accept this and I do, sometimes and other times I'm doubled over in sorrow. Thank you so much Fr. Mike for these awesome videos that help me with my faith and my shortcomings that help me move forward a little more each day. God bless you!
Annette Boardman, I am so very sorry for your loss but remember that you are never alone even in the midst of your suffering Jesus is carrying you. Repeat constantly “Jesus, I trust in you”, you will feel comforted. Know that from today on, you have a sister in Christ that will be praying for you daily. God bless🙏🏼
I lost my fiancee July the 13th
I totally understand
I lost my spouse too, she walked to be with another man. Dealing with the guilt that I'm not man enough kills me.
My son died nearly a year ago
I thought we always would have the time to talk but marriage children work was always thr
I got a tex every day R so
Love you ma I'm ok R u ok etc
I know how you feel sweetheart I feel hurt & lost
But I have to Believe God Seen the bigger picture but I didnt
I hated we didnt ever have time for just us to be!
I miss Him so so so much
Like you my heart broke
But I am trusting we will meet again it's tough
Very tough !
But daily I pray & I trust in God!
God knows what Hes Doing!
I struggle with evil and mean thoughts. I am depressed, anxious and maybe got OCD too. I have been begging Jesus to heal me. Sometimes I feel like my struggles take me away from God though :( please pray
Dear Anne, prayers for you! How are you doing today?
@@jellojenna6 thank you dear for the prayers! With God's mercy, I am feeling better most days! Still got a long way to go, but I will keep praying and learn! God bless you!
What Fr. Mike says in this very video helped me with thoughts that my struggles take me away from God. No, in our struggles we are closest to Our Lord, who suffered and died for us that we may have eternal life. My spiritual director gave me this thought, “Christ was glorified and ascended into Heaven with His wounds” and the same is true for every saint.
Well minus the ascension bit obviously haha not tryna be guilty of material heresy
@anne look into unbound and renouncing prayers. They might be good tools for you.
I’m a non denominational Christian who found your videos through Jonathan Roumie. I needed to hear this very much. Thank you ❤️
I have Cerebral Palsy, and people wanted me healed from it, but at almost 44 yrs old I'm still in a wheelchair. Through years I have accepted that I'll always be this way, but on days like today I want to be healed because I'm so tired of having to helped with things. I really needed to hear this message, so do some other people in my life. "God wants your heart more than your healing" is something that really hits home with me. Thank you Fr. Mike.
You are valuable. You are worthy of love and respect. You are not your condition. You’re here to sanctify us all. Thank you for being here. ❤
"he wants your heart more than he wants your healing". Literally one of the most meaningful things I've ever heard. Thank you so much!
I have epilepsy and just had a seizure this morning. I really needed this. I am physically weak but I am going to Mass right now. It's the best place I can be right now
God bless you!
Father Mike! You a a blessing from heaven! I had become so discouraged! But you lift me up every time with your videos!! God bless you eternally!! :-) I love you!!!!!!!!
Praise God! You are in our prayers, Rocio!
Thank You! And I carry you in my heart!! :D all of you that do this!
This entire interaction made me smile
This is so applicable to my life, and 2 Corinthians 12:9 is my favorite verse. I'm not even Catholic (yet), but I love your videos. God bless you.
Love that verse! Hope your catholic journey is going well :)
I’m so happy for you ❤️
A hug.
Becoming Catholic has been the Chief event of my life.
I needed to hear this,very very encouraging for my life right now and gives me hope.
That God the Father can make me Holy with my wounds is really a Grace.
I love you father mike ! Please pray for me currently suffering through Anxiety/DEPRESSION ADD OCD and I'm also bipolar:( .... GOD is good
You're loved!
Sara Singh
That should sort it Sara.
that's a lot to deal with
I sobbed while watching this because now it makes sense. I feel like I'd started my path toward acceptance, but now I think I finally understand. It is not easy, and I know the right path is not meant to be easy. However, knowing I have God's grace and His love amidst all of the struggle with sin, mental illness, and my other health issues gives me so much peace. I know I have a purpose. Thank you Father for helping me to remember that.
I can see this Father. Through my wounds I became even closer to God. Always close, even at 5 years old. My sister has cancer and through this wound I started praying the rosary every even and many other prayers.
God bless you.
My wounds are the gate to my heart for God? Wow!. God bless you Fr.Mike.
God bless you Fr. Mike.
True. My anxiety is what brought me to the feet of the redeemer. For sure
"Often times our wounds are God's access points to our hearts"
Thank you Father
God heals through acceptance of what is. When you accept what is, then it is no longer an enemy.
True.
I had training in healing and deliverance ministry before i went in missionary, so I got ton of ministry healed and whole...Jesus heals.
This is amazing.. I am not a Christian but these words are so perfect ❤️
That’s awesome Father! Thank you so much
Thank you Fr. Mike!
I am battling / stuggling with 2 mental illnesses.
God has given you a tremendous gift! You touch people's hearts in a captivating and beautifully wonderful way!
I will always keep you in my prayers.
You have led me closer to my God and my daily struggles are now made lighter because of your message.
THANK YOU FATHER MIKE-
THANK YOU
PAX VOBISCUM
I've been anorexic since I was c.12-13 so this really struck a cord with me. The idea that my ED is not a flaw that needs to be purged but a facet of me that makes me more human rather than less holy...dosent make the ED go away but...it helps the way I feel about having an eating disorder.
Good video. Great points. God bless
Thanks for being here. Jesus loves you!
Hi! I understand your point. Very comforting things in video. I wanted to comment to your post because I had an ED. I HAD an E D. I was 17 til age 23. At 23 I started getting help. No more ED for over 30 yrs.
I want to bless an encourage you. Some things don't get fixed but some things do. I know many who completely recover from ED. Believe it is possible because I'm you decades later. Happy healthy and free in Jesus. I will pray for you. In Christ.
Heavenly Father, may you heal this young woman in Jesus name. God bless you.
You literally seem to glow in your videos Father Mike. Like your skin seems to glow softly
Thanks to God that He made you-such a good preacher !
Thank you again for this. I just discovered you. I am brought to tears thinking how we doubt and how we are skeptic at times. Thank you for bolstering my faith. God bless you. I pray that one or more of my 4 sons will become a priest.
Freedom in Jesus Christ
Spreading knowledge is near the most noble and purest of pursuits, and a great aid to me during my search for truth. Thanks Fr. Mike.
Those are some hasty conclusions there, you angry, resentful person. I'll just say that I listen to many forms of philosophical thought, Christian, Muslim, and atheist included, but I have never seen a more bitter rant than your arrogant outburst here. You don't convince people of your point of view by slapping them in the face with this offensive word vomit, instead you need to demonstrate respect so that you can receive it in return.
Man that woke me up this morning.
Father Mike reminds me of Jesus Christ.
Heal your wounds Dante, get strong.
I feel like I'm at the confessional and hearing these encouraging words from the priest, thank you Father, such a blessing to hear you!
Another great video from Fr. Mike
Thank you for these words father Schmitz!
It's very difficult to have a relationship with Christ and Blessed Mother ,when you have serious issues like depression Bypolar and Chronic pain on top of it . But What Iam finding out is more and more You go to Confession as much as possible and go to Mass as much as possible , And Jesus and his mother will put you wherever your supposed to be in life .Just Get It Done , Your not responsible for how you feel , Your Responsible for what you do .Man sometimes I just don't feel like doing it But I get it done somehow . We all suffer my friends ! God Bless You All
Thank you ft. Mike
Fourth time watching this. Somehow, I keep coming back to this video
I have gult about every thing I do and I think social anxiety and I kinda hate my body and I was thinking about this today and father mike comes in clutch
Excellent explanation and consolation Farther thank you
I have been through lots of toxic relationship and heartbreak. I belong to a broken family. Though I am a believer and always prayed for change and conversion of my family but it never happened even things went worst. Earlier there was problem only between my mom and dad but now the situation is my younger brother and sister also don't talk with me since 2014.I am searching for a life partner but failed in that too.I don't know what does God wants. I'm now just use to all this
Hey it's ok god and Jesus 🙏 are here.. I'm going through the same thing. .if you ever need to talk , I'm here
Father Mike thank you very much for your hard work to help everyone who are in need...... God bless you 😇😇😇😇😇
You have no idea. Just how much of what you spoke of touched my heart. FR Mike thank you so much.
How beautiful! Indeed, His grace is sufficient.
Had problems with low self esteem self hate.BUT THANKS TO JESUS I CAN LOVE SELF ACCEPT CELEBRATE MY SELF
Wow. What powerful thoughts. God wants our heart more than our healing. Words to live by.
This is quite deep, and honestly, hard to digest especially if taken from an intellectual viewpoint. In my opinion, we're gonna need heaps and loads of grace to digest this message.
This is best understood experientially.
Thank you. God bless. I have felt like Im in a rollercoaster for a long time and always have guilt for failing God and everyone around me but these words gave me hope and understanding and even an answer that I can continue because His grace is enough. Thank you again Praise God for this ministry!
Our hearts are weary in this confusing world. so a source of Truth, the unadulterated Gospel Truth, is a breath of fresh air. especially presented without pretensions. Thank you Father. please keep up the good work. you are a great inspiration.
I have also struggled with depression and anxiety and eating disorders since 16 years old. I've recently found such great hope in that same that God makes us strong through our weakness, not in spite of it❤
Wow! Thank you Father. Amazing message. God bless you and all priests and evangelists.
You're welcome, Regina! Please keep us in your prayers!
Thanks, Father Mike you mean so much to many people, your speeches are so helpful in many areas of our lives and we need them. A messenger from God
Thank you, sir. Your videos are just a lifeline for me right now. Thank you.
This speaks to me! In a major way! Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying these things. Don't mind if I take them to heart even if I'm not a Catholic, I love the videos you do and some of them like this one, touch me deeply. God Bless you Father Mike!
This is exactly what I needed at this moment. Thank you.
Father Mike, I have never heard anything like this before, it's amazing, thank you
This message came right when I needed it. Thank you Fr. Mike and Ascencion Presents! God bless you more. :)
Praise God! You are most welcome!
I am overcome how often God's words being spoken through you bring me such comfort and peace. Thank you for the gift of yourself, given so selflessly to this community. God bless you always, Fr. Mike.
I needed this message right now. Thank you so much Father! I will carry this message in my heart so that in a times of weakness I can whip it out! And know why I suffer!
God bless you Father Mike for bringing us closer to God through your own tremendous faith. Thank You
thank you
Thank you.
I was so worried at the beginning of the video thinking about my final grade for a subject and wasn’t sure if I don’t do well internally, because i wasn’t confident about my final exam answers. i got a notification for internal assessment and I got full 7.5% contributing to my grade. Now I am less anxious. Thank you lord
My 27 yr old son is dealing with bipolar and he has only just begun to pray since Divine Mercy Sunday. He was able to go to confession and receive Holy communion on that day. He hasn’t been able to sleep deeply for three days solid and yet God has sustained him. It’s like watching Jesus undergo the triduum. Suffering after suffering. And I have had to walk with him. Now I know that our home is not here but this is the journey to get there. A narrow path strewed with debris. It’s hard to take.
Thanks fr Mike
Watching this again, 5 years later. Thank you again.
You are such a great humble person!! I want you to be the priest of my parish in Israel 😭
Thank you father Mike. Your videos truly make me happy.
Father mike easing my mind one video at a time
Can you do a video on Guardian Angels and the Holy Spirit?
It's on our list! Thanks for the suggestion, Jonathan!
freedom is the power to do what I ought...#smart
God wants our hearts more than our healings ! We suffer in this life for the Glory in heaven.
God bless you father !! Thank you so much for being an inspiration to us all . It's a blessing to be able to watch you here on UA-cam . I'm from California & I feel like I can just seek your guidance so easily through these videos . Keep doing what your doing please !! We need this .
beautiful
I have a disability, and I am constantly wishing that things had turned out differently for me. Got does not do that for me. But recently, I decided to go back to my Catholic roots. You see a start to being a Catholic when I was about 35. And so, this time, I have been reading a lot, and listening to videos like this one. And I learned a prayer, and I am saying it every morning. It goes like this.
Mary, my mother, I give myself totally to you, as your possession and property.Please make of me, of all that I am and have,Whatever most places you. May I be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for bringing the greatest possible glory to God. Amen.
I have not been saying this often enough, because I am just starting out again. But my plan is to say it every morning. And to say it slowly and carefully, so that I really catch the meaning.
I am finding that accepting my disability is the answer. And in this case now following the church, also using the prayers and doing a rosary a day and saying this prayer to Mary every day.
Soooooo Sooooo Soooo Good Fr. Mike Thanks!!!
I love your videos fr. but I need a video or a response how to control our negative thoughts that comes even wen you u don't wann it....
My friend I suffer from this too. You are not alone and you are loved by Christ. Our Lord loves your struggle. Give your suffering to the lord for the souls in purgatory and for reparations to his sacred heart. 2 tips - 1. Avoid the thoughts causing you anxiety. Shut them down as fast as possible before they pick up steam. And 2. Distractions are very helpful.
I believe that is from demons. Self hatred, anxiety etc... as soon as you start, just pray. I do outloud. God bless you. Please correct me if wrong Father. You are amazing! ❤️
Ask your guardian angel to fight for you, Satan is terrified of him and he is there to do battle for you
Yes, intrusive thoughts are generally demonic (and they won't resolve with medication). Rebuke them in the name of Jesus and pray to St. Michael for his assistance. Also practice "stillness in God". That helps me.
Yeah man, its hard. Ill pray for you.
Appreciate these video's even though I'm not Catholic. I do have Catholic Bibles .... the lady that lived in this home before me was almost a Nun. One day a tornado was heading in this direction. I went in one of my prayer closets shut the door started laughing jumping up and down yelling out Hail Mary and hail from the storm was bouncing off my windows..... However, this was after I said., throughout the home "Peace Be Still." Fr. Mike Thank-You for making these video's. It helps re: Fears .... and gives me Hope!
so true!!! my father passed away because of covid and it left a big big wound in my heart. and that situation humbled me to pray more to God, to lean on Him more, and to put my whole trust in Him. I know He is with me in my journey.
Thank you Father Mike.
You are a blessing to me & I am praying for you daily 🙏
May God bless you and strengthen you.
OMG Fr, how I've doubted God. I literally melted away towards the end of the video. Im now certain what i need to do. thank you thank you thank you father. You just helped me so much you dont even understand. GOD BLESS YOU!
believe this we choose our own paths what lies after this life is well a mystery. only ones of rilly knowing are those that have died. and come back.
God Bless You Father, thank you....
Thanx Papa Mike
Very beautiful and very true ! 💗🙏🏻
Perfect video in this year of mercy!!! His grace is sufficient and His mercy is infinite!!!
Wow what a beautiful talk. I needed to here this. GOD BLESS YOU FATHER
Debating on writing this considering it's been almost a year since this was posted... Meh, guess I will.
Wow. Just wow. I'm fairly new to the channel and have been binge watching your videos for a week. My best friend was having some trouble tonight and I directed her to your channel. After gushing over your powerful messages, I asked which one she saw, she saw this one, only I haven't seen this one before until now (surprising, considering I've see almost all the others). I'll cut to the chase, I can relate so much to this video. Right now I'm battling PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and I can't stress enough the pain it can do physically and mentally. One thing I have always struggled with is weight (not very big, just curvy). It's so hard to wake up in the morning and weigh yourself knowing that you're doing everything you can and more. You see little to no results... What a way to start your morning, huh? Well, doctors orders! The doctors don't know what else to say and I don't know what else to do. I live a healthy life. This video really helped me understand that God might just be trying to build me while in pain. It's been a slow and long process, I've had medical conditions my whole life. One day, if it's God's will, He might just heal me. I can't say your video has stopped the pain and depression, but it has put things into perspective for this young teenage girl. Thank you. Really, never stop what you're doing. You're the priest I've always wanted to have. I was just telling my friend that I would want you to be the priest to marry my future husband and I someday, you've made a mark on my life. You might not see this, it's been a year, but if you do, hello, and thanks again.
Thank you Father Mike for your words!!
Freedom is not just doing what one wants to do, but freedom in doing what one OUGHT to do - thanks, Fr Mike! One of my favourite prayers from The Universal Prayer attributed to Pope Clement XI:
'I will whatever you will,
I will it because you will it,
I will it in the way you will it,
Iwill it for as long as you will it...' Amen.
Fantastic once again. Thank you, Father Mike.
Excellent video Father. Your words will be such a source of encouragement to many.
Thanks so much Father Mike. God bless you
Thanks be to God! Thank you Father Mike!
