– Does it mean there is no will of God for my monasticism if I did not succeed in a monastery life? I lived at a monastery for several years and left it against my will. My relationship with the spiritual guide was damaged, and I began to have problems with my health. Should I look for some other monastery? Pray for me, please. I am afraid of making a mistake again. 

– Speaking for myself, I would have looked for another monastery. I would not have gone without a fight, would not have given up.
