    Guided imagery for relaxation...please help!

    Hi there. I am in need of some serious help to learn to relax and let go of my stress. (I'm knotted up with major headaches I can't get rid of). I've prayed and prayed, and studied and read the bible. What worked for me a long time ago, before I was walking with the Lord, is guided imagery and...

    I'm so angry, I could spit!!

    We are in the process of moving into my in-laws. They've had a new house built. First off, it has taken them forever to get all their things out, and we spent a lot of time helping them move. Now my mother in law is in her new house, enjoying all her new things. However, she has failed to...

    Quenching that thirst for God?

    Oh, I know what you mean! I thirst also. There was one time, a long time ago, that I was thirsting for God in my life... to walk in his presence. (much like I do now). But I began to feel filled. What I think happened, was that I stayed in touch with the Lord constantly. Music, singing...

    Just one act of kindness........

    What would happen if we all made a point to do just one act of kindness a day? Pray about who you may be kind to, about how to help someone in need. Look for an opportunity every day, all day long. Even if it was just a kind word to someone....Lord, what would you have me do? If every...

    just a thought

    I love these wonderful thoughts! I love Psalm 3, but have never really thought about the whole situation behind it. Thank you for sharing it! (I printed it out and put it in my bible for further meditation.) :)

    Hebrew 6:4-6?

    One more thought I had... if I had no chance of returning to Christ, I may as well commit suicide now... for what would be the point in living???

    Hebrew 6:4-6?

    I cannot believe for a second that it is impossible for me to return to Christ after I have turned away. I have done that very thing. I walked an upright life. I got sucked into sin by my own accord, and fell away. I have even been angry at the Lord. But I have come back, and begged for...

    Worship - what do you do when you lose motivation.

    Hi Onebit.... I can honestly tell you that I share your struggle! I have actually prayed to God... "Please Lord, I long to long for you.... I want to want for you...." It is because I feel blah in my worship time... my mind wanders, I can't seem to find words to praise him, or know exactly how...

    What does GRACE mean to you?

    I know that grace is God's unmerited favor. Can you explain the verse "My Grace is sufficient for you"? How does God's grace help Paul deal with his thorn that was so miserable that he deemed it from Satan? How does God's grace get you through your day?

    How Do You Study the Bible?????

    Hi Susie... I love your question, because it is something I'd like to know too! I don't know that I can ever know the bible well enough. Good for you for not giving up. You will feel his spirit again because you are seeking Him with all your heart. Psalms tells us to cry aloud for insight...

    Why does God allow addictions?

    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your kind responses. I know I am to blame for this addiction - I think I wanted to know why God doesn't supply the strength to overcome the addiction, as you suggested here. But I've been very much seeking him, and have sought help. I know that He wants...
