Wrong feelings and cruel thoughts can seem very convincing. But Jesus loves us and wants us to have "rest for your souls." (in Matthew 11:28-30)

So, keep on trusting God to give you peace about what He really wants you to hear from Him.

Thank you so much for the answer. It makesme feel better. Can I ask you question? If youwere me, would you go to an exchange abroad?

God does make things clear with us. So, trust Him to make things clear.

If you go abroad, you can meet Christians who will help you. And you can learn more English. And know that God brings us to better than what we thought He was going to have us doing He enjoys surprising His children.

And now you have us praying for you. You are not by yourself!!!

Thank you so much. Your word encouraged me alot. I have been struggling with it for so long.

Thank you for your reply.It's nice.
Would you help me on making this decision.
I should go to(Actually, it's an exchange year abroad)or not?

You should ask yourself honestly what your motives would be for going abroad. Along with that consider whether you have duties and obligations at home which going abroad would hinder you from fulfilling. It's a subjective thing in and of itself, but the surest way to discern whether that's a good option to follow through on is to be seeking God wholeheartedly and obedient to Him in the things that are objective which the Bible gives clear direction on. The thoughts and concerns of your parents (whom you are commanded to honor) might show you your answer since they could be against it for some reason related to an honest concern for you or they may be for it for a carnal reason which isn't good. Perhaps though they are looking out for your safety and they are not thinking vainly- and yet they still see it as a good idea. Obviously if they would be the ones paying for such a thing their wishes have even greater weight. Honor them and make your decision in the fear of God. Praying for you.

Thank you for your answer. I would love to read and understand all of them. But my english isn't good. Would you mind explain the last part."Obviously if they would be the ones paying for such a thing their wishes have even greater weight. Honor them and make your decision in the fear of God. Praying for you." I would appreciate it so much.

No problem. If your parents would be supporting you financially during your trip abroad then it is extra important that you consider reasons they would have for you to go or not go abroad. One of God's commandments is "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." (Ephesians 6:1-3)

Making your decision in the fear of God means that you believe it will be well with you when you obey your parents in the Lord and that it won't be well with you when you don't. I see from your profile that you are technically an adult, but as long as you are in your parents' home and dependent on them for support you need to obey them in the Lord; and even if you are not in their home nor dependent on them for support you should still honor them by strongly respecting and considering their advice, especially on big matters like travelling abroad for a year. Hope that is clear, but let me know if it isn't and I can try again.

That depends on where you go and the family that you would be staying with. A loving and caring Christian family would be a great blessing.

Sometimes I worried about that too butactually I think I can handle it. I have been Ocd about 8 years since I was a little kid.And I only told my family about this. Noone around me knows. I can control myself normally when I'm with others. But the problems I worried is about the sound I heard.

I've had OCD since I was eight, too! Do you have any help for dealing with it?

I just can't overcome the feeling of hopeless.
And just being tired of pretend to be happy and normal, althought inside is just empty and hopeless. Do you have advice for overcome those feeling?

Mari17 · Oct 31, 2019

Well, you can't control your feelings. But you can work on your OCD, which should help your feelings to improve. Overcoming OCD is a matter of learning to recognize our obsessive thoughts, to ignore them, and to refuse to do what they're demanding that we do. I'll list a couple of my favorite resources below, and feel free to ask more questions if you'd like!

Christianity and Anxiety Disorders - Let's Talk I'm a member/moderator of this group, and I think it's a pretty good support group for OCD.
