At that time, I was about 14 I believe and not Catholic, but I did have a relationship with the Lord and was very sick at the time. I prayed a very powerful prayer to the Lord and not too long after I heard an audible voice that said “Put your faith in God”. My prayer was about my circumstances improving, and after I heard the voice, they actually did, tremendously. The part that always confused me was the voice said “Put your faith IN GOD” not “IN ME”. Meaning it wasn’t God who said it. Again I wasn’t Catholic at the time, so I didn’t really understand that there could be another voice involved besides God. I’m really considering becoming Catholic recently, and I kind of just had this memory pop up in my head. Does anyone have any guidance on this? Thank you!

I’ve been in a spiral about this for a long time, and nobody to talk to about it. My girlfriend and her family are Catholic, and I’ve been going to church with them whenever they go. Obviously way different than what I’m used to, but I like it.

My problem is, I’ve been told that my relationship with the Lord that I thought I had all my life, isn’t valid, because I’m not Catholic. And that’s what keeps pushing me back. All my life, I’ve had a desire to live for God’s will and have seen Him do miracles in my life. So it’s hard for me to even come to terms with that.

If anyone has some guidance or advice, it’d be super appreciated.
