What's Solomon really about in this passage?

I love this thread! Sometimes you just need to let them know they're taking it the wrong way. Other times you need to watch what you say, because they've already made the mental choice that they're here to "help you" no matter what you say.

An all-night period of prayer is an admirable endeavor. Personally, I have never tried it but if you want to stay up later, practicing meditation can be very helpful. It builds your stamina for these types of spiritual exercises. All the best!

These situations are tough, and can get sticky. Don't worry too much about your friend's mental illness. Some things are out of our control. As long as the quality of our character is good, and we strive to be our best selves, there's no reason to fear death by any circumstance.

I see that Tone has posted some really inspiring videos to help on your journey, and I'd like to offer one as well that gave me peace recently... Hope it resonates with you...

Hi Joshua. I'm sorry to hear that life's been rough on you recently. We're all grateful that you're reaching out. It'll get better eventually, don't worry. You're in all our prayers.

I have, in fact, lived through many experiences of that were hellish. I find peace, comfort and understanding with my God and my Bible. Personally, that is all that kept me alive for a time. I appreciated this video because of that.

I would hope that videos of human entrails spilling on the ground don't get many views. I'm only joking, you make an interesting point.

I do not agree but interesting perspective!! Much to consider.

This is an interpretation of the Bible I don't think I've ever seen before. They take the Scripture and make a very dream-like, almost transcendent short film out of it. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen in my life, and it's changing the way I look at Scripture. There's a very cosmic...

Indeed.

Maybe you should discuss this with a member of authority in your church. He may be able to give you the best advice, as he should have a better understanding of the situation. Maybe he can get her to leave?

Liberating indeed

I've been watching his videos recently, and he does make a lot of points!

Hi all, I hope everyone is having a blessed day! So I was doing some Bible study at home this evening and watching YouTube videos on Ecclesiastes, when I stumbled across this absolute treasure. It's so peaceful and serene... What do you all think?
