Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM+ Dear Lisa: No, you are not evil because you have asked God for a sign. In times of great tribulation it is a natural thing for human beings to want something tangible for direction on which way to go. But we need, rather, to have Faith and to listen closely for His voice. God does not usually give us such overt and obviously signs, but He does give us the clues and urgings and promptings needed for us to follow His will. Talk to God. Tell Him your concerns, feelings, and fears. Go before the Blessed Sacrament and bathe in the rays of the Son. In addition to talking to God, also just sit there quietly before the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle and let Him commune with you. If you have a trusted friend, or perhaps your pastor, it may be good to talk to them too for their advice about your situation. Remember, God is a loving Father, not a demanding taskmaster. He understands what you are going through. He will not abuse you or lead you astray. Go to Him as the perfect Father and empty your heart and find the healing that you need. We will be praying for you, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
