    Please Pray For Me

    I have. I'm just in a lot of pain. I'm trying to let Him guide my life now.

    I need help: I feel like useless trash

    You have. The fact that you're so worried about glorifying God is an inspiration.

    Please Pray For Me

    I'm a 33-year old man who is currently going to college for computer science, with nothing else going for me; I'm working in a low-wage retail job, living with my parents. I believe that Christianity is true and at one time I used to study and listen to Christian apologetics in my spare time...

    I thought I've heard it all, but...no kissing?

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:27-28 I don't know. It seems pretty cut and dry to me. Unless of course, you're kissing your dates in the...

    Does God really have a plan?

    Thank you for your responses everyone. I've been going on walks and talking to God every day, and I've been reading the Bible. This Sunday I will go to church again. And I've been trying to reflect on Jesus' commands before acting. And you're right, God should come first. That will be difficult...

I'm just in an extremely dark place right now, I've done disgusting things, and I've asked for God's help and forgiveness so many times. Except, I feel like I never committed. But now... I...

    Does God really have a plan?

    I feel really hurt because of this breakup. And the idea of committing myself to God feels alien. Will that go away? I have no where else to turn to... I just want the pain to go away and I don't want to disobey God anymore--but saying that gave me pause. Will I be happy? All I want is to not be...

    Does God really have a plan?

    I ask for God's forgiveness, but I worry I'm not genuine. But sometimes I think I am. However, I always slip... and in the worst way. Am I just one of the seeds that has been choked by thorns, or that has fallen into a crack? I don't want to slip anymore--or at least I want to make real...

    Does God really have a plan?

    So, I'm a person who has asked for God's help and forgiveness, and who would call themselves a believer. However, I don't think much progress has been made in my life as far as walking with Jesus goes. I've never joined a church. I've never been baptized. And I don't read the Bible much. I'm...
