    How do you know you believe in your heart?

    @ HolySpiritWOF2 The problem is that I dont even know how it should normally feel and work when you speak in tongues. I have a very analytical and pedantic mind and I try to understand everything and so on and I cannot simply speak words without thinking them up in my mind first but from what I...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    Hello everybody, I don't really know what to say. I can't explain my entire situation even if I did take the time and write down pages for hours then I don't think it would accomplish much. I simply have an awful lot of problems and don't know how to deal with them and my faith is also no help...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    I am already getting "professional help" which means I have been trying out various antidepressants with NO effect! I also tried psychotherapy also with no effect. None of this stuff helped me. It's funny how people always act as if therapy and antidepressants would solve everything but they...

    How do you know you believe in your heart?

    I'm confused. Does this mean there is no difference between doubting in your mind and in your heart? But I always heard it explained that way. I also can't pray in tongues. I tried it but I don't think it's really real I think it's just stuff from my mind. I cannot pray in tongues and do other...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    I think it was a mistake to seek for help on a forum like this one. I cannot deal with being bombarded with so many replies and most of them make me feel even more despaired. It seems like most christians can't even comprehend my struggles. In another thread I asked how can I know if I doubt in...

    How do you know you believe in your heart?

    But how can you know if you for example doubt in your mind or your heart? I heard pastors differentiate between harmless doubts in the mind and dangerous doubts in the heart. How on earth shall I know where a doubt comes from!? I dont have a display on my chest which shows me wether a doubt...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    That is the typical nonsense you hear from many christians sooner or later. This is very offensive.

    How do you know you believe in your heart?

    First of all what is the heart? The brain, where you think? The bible often says things like "think in your heart" or "reasoned in their hearts". This sounds like it simply means the mind, where you think thoughts. But then why do christians make a difference between heart and mind? How can...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    Hello everyone, thanks for your post, susyan. You know what my fear is? That things may sound easy in theory but that putting them into practice isn't possible for me alone. What if it's simply not possible? I have tried so many things and always failed or got despaired. I also tried...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    I totally fail under this pressure. Usually one would think that the more hopeless my situation gets the closer I draw to God but it's the opposite the more hopeless I am the more vulnerable I am to sinning. :(

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    Hello, I will be blunt. This whole stay strong life was never meant to be easy stuff does not offer any comfort to me at all. I dont want to suffer anymore and barely make it. I just dont want to. What if I cannot even make it? What if I lose my mind or what if the pressure gets so big that I...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    What shall I start with!? I dont know what you are talking about! I am despaired and scared of the future. I dont know what will be 1 month from now or 6 month from now. I am facing a situation which I dont know if I can even make it and just want to escape it but I cant. This is like life or...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    This all sounds so easy. Just trust God and don't fear. But what if I do fear? What if I don't have peace? I don't have peace! Shall I simply proclaim bible verses while at the same time being afraid? What good does that? I often wonder what will be 1 year from now or what will be 6 months from...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    I dont know what to do. Maybe it's just me, I dont know. I have listened to thousands of sermons over the years struggling for answers and a clear method which I could follow and I never found one. I simply cannot pull myself out of my depression and solve my problems and become a happy...

    Fear of loss and worrying about the salvation of family members

    Hello, I feel much worse due to the death of my grandmother. It was basically the first death of a close person I experienced. I already struggled with fears before and now this has only gotten worse. Especially at night I get this fear. I don't know how to deal with this. I mean my situation...

    Fear of loss and worrying about the salvation of family members

    How do I know if doing something to get others saved like for example praying for someone or maybe sending a tract to someone by mail is good or if it's actually bad and "self-activism"? I mean does doing things on your own like mailing tracts or doing stuff like that mean that you are trying to...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    @ paul1149 You mean this passage here right: 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those...

    Fear of loss and worrying about the salvation of family members

    Hi, thank you for the link I will read the testimony. I have seen a few "i am second" testimonies already. But the thing is that it makes also a difference where someone lives and what he has learned in his life. I would imagine that in the USA it's easier for someone who was raised as a...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    @ aiki And does this really work what you say? I mean have you been able to receive stuff from God like for example healing or other things? If I had been able to receive stuff from God then my outlook would also be much different but for me it has always been that I've never really seen...

    I feel terrible and fear losing my mind

    @ paul becke I don't care how God would communicate with me as long as I knew it's Him and not just my thoughts or coincidences. I wish I could just get some kind of feedback from God. What do you do for example when you have a problem and need help from God cause you don't know what to do...
