Nightmares	Renee	Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Question: Hi, Brother I hope you are doing well. I have a question regarding nightmares. I have in the past few months turned away from my New Age beliefs, psychics, etc. And I started praying the rosary daily and recieving communion and going to mass. I have been praying alot the past week, especially with more time on my hands. Now, I have been suffering nightmares more and more often. They seem to be spiritual in nature (not in a good way). Now, why would God allow this if I am under his increased protection since I am praying more? Thank you Renee
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Renee: I am sorry to hear about the nightmares, but this is rather normal. When you turned away from the New Age and psychics and the like, and praise God that you did, you turned your back on the devil. He doesn't like that. In addition, the devil really doesn't like that fact that you left his clutches to fall into the loving arms of our Lord and God Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother. These nightmares, therefore, are a revenge from the evil one. His purpose is to try to get you back into the New Age; get you away from God. One of the reasons God allows this is that this attack is the natural consequences of your involvement in the New Age. If you play with Satan, expect to be burned when you try to leave him. God, I imagine, also allows this to test your faith. If you pass this test, that is, if you remain with God despite the harassment you are getting then your faith and resolve for God will be hard fought and thus more solid and firm. The key to the Christian life is perseverance. Persevere in this harassment. Consider it a testing to which your faith will become stronger. In the meantime, you can fight against this harassment by using some of the spiritual warfare prayers in our Catalog linked below. The Hedge Prayers of Protection, the Reclaiming Ground, the Bedtime Prayers of Protection, and others I would recommend. God is with you. God bless, Bro.

Question:

Hi, Brother

I hope you are doing well. I have a question regarding
nightmares. I have in the past few months turned
away from my New Age beliefs, psychics, etc.
And I started praying the rosary daily and recieving
communion and going to mass.

I have been praying alot the past week, especially with
more time on my hands.

Now, I have been suffering nightmares more and more
often. They seem to be spiritual in nature (not in a
good way).

Now, why would God allow this if I am under his increased
protection since I am praying more?

Thank you
Renee
