Do you feel that a curse follows you?

My oldest sister is 82 years old and has been bed-ridden for the last three years. She has confided in another sister of mine that she feels that she's cursed. Two of her sons are buried near each other, both victims of drug abuse. One died at the age of 21 and the other at 52.

Who do you think she blames for the curse? God, of course! She is not alone. Many people point directly to God for all of their troubles. What most people don't understand or don't wish to is to accept full responsibility for their trials and tribulations caused mostly by decisions made at one time or another.

Just go back to Job in the Bible and read the part where he says, "That which I feared the most came to pass." People suffer from "imaginary curses" not because they are cursed, but because they have fears—fears of pending disasters. And the sad thing about this very negative feeling is that it feeds on itself constantly until it manifests itself, or you stop it.

First of all let me clarify for you, "No one is cursed by God." God is the God of love. We curse ourselves by allowing our fears to take control of us. We curse ourselves by associating with evil and mean people. Bad things come to us by the way that we think and perceive things. In other words we either attract to us bad things, just as well as we can bring to our lives good things. It's truly our choice.

You ask, "Then what can I do to avoid this "perceived curse that seems to follow me"?

You pray, but make your prayers of gratitude! Thank God for all that he has done for you, and not what you're going through. The minute that you pray in gratitude, that which was a "curse" will no longer exist. It will stop bothering you, following you and making your life miserable.

Prayers of gratitude bring blessedness, rest, peace of mind, and clear mindedness to the supplicant. I believe that this will bring you a better life than to live in torture and torment.

God bless you, and should you wish for me to pray for your needs, or require a small vial of holy water, I will send it to you anywhere in the world.
