Well, you gave me some criticism here – I really needed it. The question is, is it possible to make mistakes when surrendering to God, when following God’s path? After all, it seems like I did everything God told me to do, and the results weren’t quite what I expected.
ChatGPT said :
Very good and profound question.
Yes, even when walking on God’s path, one can make mistakes. Even big ones. Why?
1. God speaks through our freedom, not through control.
God does not take over your will – He calls, whispers, guides through intuition, through Scripture, people, prayer, but He does not rule like a robot . You decide for yourself. Therefore, even when walking in God’s way, your humanity, emotions, fears, or even wrong expectations can interfere.
2. God’s way is often not about the result, but about transformation
You may have done everything “right,” but the result wasn’t what you wanted. And it wasn’t your fault , it was part of a bigger plan. You may have expected “restoration,” but God’s goal was a new you—free, wise, humble, yet strong .
3. Sometimes we mistakenly “attribute” our desires to God
When we long for restoration, love, family, there is a danger: we mistake our own will for God’s will. And God does not always lead us to what we want, but He always leads us to where we will truly be free and healed .
⛪ Even the saints made mistakes – look at Peter, who repeatedly misunderstood Jesus. But God still used them , and the humility of their hearts was what attracted Him most.
You are not lost. You are on the path.
And every mistake you make – if you recognize it – becomes not a fall, but a step towards maturity .
If you want, I can write you a short “path recognition prayer” to help you before making decisions. Would you like to?

Since I no longer believe in “coincidences”, so… Emma mentioned yesterday that she was at the Basilica and Chapel of the Holy Mary of Šiluva, and today I “coincidentally” found myself 60km from that place. Of course, I drove to that place too? I cried a lot, asked for reinforcement, and answers, because I was already losing strength to fight for my marriage and children… I just wanted to give up and do nothing, because I was already madly pressed by the heartache, the Suffering, and everything else. I’m not that strong. I received the consecration of a priest after a conversation with him, and I drove home not very spiritually strengthened, even the music with which I tried to raise my spiritual combativeness didn’t help, not a single song simply “got me going”. I literally left in almost the same spiritual agony, and near the house I saw someone ringing the doorbell (an internet call), I didn’t have time to see and when I called Mantautas to ask what was going on, I heard – Emma had gathered Charlotte’s things and taken them to hers . I was half an hour late. God didn’t want me to be there when she took Charlotte . What’s next? I don’t have any “Trump Cards” for the trip to America anymore, what should I do next? Both little ones have been taken to Emma’s , my hands are shaking, I don’t know what to do, I’m really becoming indifferent to “everything”, nothing is going well. I’ll drink a little more, because it won’t get any “worse”.
ChatGPT said :
You have described your inner state very clearly – severe fatigue, pain, helplessness , and this is not weakness – this is human exhaustion after a huge emotional and spiritual burden. But this is not the end , but one of the deepest points where you need to lean on, not fight .
🌧 ️ What happened?
– Emma took Charlotte away , and it happened without your knowledge , as if behind your back , but… not without God’s knowledge.
– That same morning you stumbled in Šiluva , crying and begging for help , and you returned to an empty house.
– Your spirit is weakened , music does not help, even crying becomes empty. This is a sign – it is no longer your will that must decide , but God’s.
🔥 What you absolutely need to do right now
1. Stop thinking about strategy
You are emotionally exhausted. You cannot decide ANYTHING right now about:
- Charlotte’s return,
- trips to America,
- communication with Emma or her mother,
- legal measures.
You need security. Spiritual and physical.
2. Step away for a while – not from the children, but from the fight
This “fight” has shattered not only your hopes but also your peace of mind. It’s time to step back so that:
- You would return not to fight, but to defend the light,
- we would no longer be guided by anger, but by faith,
- You would no longer lose yourself, but preserve what God has created in you during this time.
3. Practical action – seek help before the risk of falling
You wrote very clearly:
“I’ll drink a little more, because it won’t get any worse.”
This is a red flag.
Don’t delay, come by or call today:
- AA to someone you trust (you don’t even have to name the situation, just say – “the desire to drink is coming back”),
- to an AA meeting soon,
- or simply talk to a priest (even on the phone), say: “I can’t take it anymore.”
🕯 ️ And now the most important thought:
You gave it your all, as much as you could.
Now is the time to let God do the work , and for you to rest in your spirit . Not physical sleep, not alcohol, not a plan for “what else to do,” but simply being in God’s presence .
🧭 What’s next?
When it gets stronger (in 1-2 days, not now), we will be able to watch:
- what are the real possibilities of having joint custody of children,
- what arrangements are needed for travel to the USA,
- what steps to maintain contact with the little ones,
- what legal or mediation assistance can be used.
But not now. Now we need to survive.
If you want, I can write you a very short inner prayer now , when you don’t feel like doing anything. Do you want to?
You said :
yes
ChatGPT said :
Here is a short inner prayer for when nothing makes you happy anymore, when your mind is tired, when your heart is breaking. It is suitable to say even without feeling – it works not because you are strong , but because God is.
🕊 ️ Short prayer for an exhausted person
God, now I don’t want anything anymore.
I can’t hope anymore, I can’t fight anymore. All I have is my breath. And even that you give.
God, be my strength.
I no longer want to hold anything in my hands – not my children, not my future, not my answers. I give it all to You.
If my path is not over yet –
lead me one small step at a time. If my heart is still yours – protect it until the light returns.
Say this prayer anytime, even if you feel empty or angry. It is not magic. It is letting God work when you can no longer do it yourself.
Whenever you can, go or drive for at least 15 minutes to a quiet place : to a chapel, a church, even in the car. Be in silence . Now your soul should talk to God, not your mind to Emma .
I am here – whenever you feel like taking a step. Now – rest your soul.
