although I am an orthodox christian I've been taught since early age to ask St. Anthony of Padua (a catholic saint) for the lost things. it has been working for my whole life. if I don't find the thing I ask him it means it is lost for good.

I was raised to ask him for help as well. Still do, whenever I lose anything

God is so good. God is so good. God is so good. He’s so good to me.

I do have another prayer request. I was actually just talking to my folks about it, and it has been a matter of discussion with my Fiancé for a couple of months now.
As the wedding comes closer (Nov 9th), I can tangibly feel the Devil sending me spiritual assault. It has been getting pretty rough.

Spoiler

First, Satan used lies of doubt. Telling me that my Fiancé would up an leave me, that he is lying, that he isn't really in love with me or that he thinks poorly of me. I know that these aren't true. I trust God, and so I can trust the man I'm marrying.
Second, Satan tried unforgiveness and hate. Trying to convince me to hate my Fiancé for many different reasons, and telling me that I really couldn't forgive or live with things he's done (that I have already forgiven, because God has, and they do not trouble us).
Third and most recently, fear. What if he dies? What if he betrays you and cheats? Well, God will take care of me if my Fiancé dies or some other tragedy occurs. And I know that with the Lord's mercy and the faith of my Fiancé in God, he will not be won over by the Devil to commit something such as infidelity. But then Satan says "What if I convince you to be unfaithful?" And that one scared me! Satan frequently interrupts my thoughts with things like "Hey, look at that cute guy over there. What if you just... Left your man. You get along pretty well with that other guy. He'd be so much more interesting." Which, to me, is ridiculous. I simply don't think that way. Satan uses fleeting things to tempt me. What if he convinces me one day to sin against my marriage? But then I went to my Bible. "For though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no Evil for thou art with me. Your Rod and Staff, they comfort me." That verse took away all my fear that night. As long as I follow the Lord and He loves me (which He will forever), He will guide me on the right path. He will not let Satan have me.
All three of these lies are not things that I typically think about. Satan lies so much to me, and has been really trying harder the closer the wedding gets. I know that they are lies. The Lord has been merciful enough to not allow me to yet be deceived, and He has given me easy access to the Bible, as well as other Christians. But man, it's getting hard...
On Sunday the sermon was about enduring trials. Then, my next three devotions from separate devotional books were all about trials as well. So I figure God's preparing me for something, right? Of course Satan used that to make me afraid, too. I followed that advice and it helped me go to God so He could take away the lies of fear that night. Perhaps this spiritual warfare is the trial. It will surely become harder. It may be something else altogether, but either way, I'm certainly glad that God gave me those messages and reminded me to flee to Him.
So, please pray for my perseverance. Pray for my faith and my relationship as they are under attack. Please pray that this experience will strengthen my relationship with God and my soon-to-be-husband.

will be praying for you

My GC* is searching for a companion. She is a very loving person and is lonely. She is 23. We live in a rather isolated situation and don't have much of a social life. Please pray with me that she finds the person the Lord has prepared for her, and that she recognizes him when she finds him. Thank you.

A praise! That my fiancé is able to visit this weekend. This is the last time we can see each other before November.

I don’t think God likes me very much……

Sometimes I would get the feeling that He loved me but not always liked me, but usually when that happened I was going through trials that would teach me to trust his timing and his method. There's no madness to his method. Even though it feels like your prayers aren't going anywhere.
Went through a very difficult situation this year and in a few week I'll hopefully see the end but it was definitely a process to just watch, trust and wait since I'm am the first born daughter, so I have control issues and 'I have to fix.'
Trials are to refine, polish and teach. Even the ones we got into because of stupid decisions.

Thank you!!!

He just doesn’t really seem to be answering me lately. I mean, He did like once but still.

'No', is also answer. Or 'wait, I have something better.'
Both are hard to get but you are heard.
