Do you think God bears a special love for them? I am not saying we all don't struggle, nor am I saying God does not love us equally. Of course His love is great and extends to everyone. But I am wondering for those who struggle really hard in their faith, whatever it may be, those who are just...

Three years ago today my best friend died from liver cancer. It was a rough road having to watch her decline in her health. I couldn't even go see her one last time. Every year it is rough, and I could really use prayers on this day. Not for myself but for her family; I imagine it is very hard...

An acquaintance of mine is getting married, and it got me thinking. I thought to start a thread about it. I am genuinely curious. Would you have a traditional wedding or elope instead, and why?

Sometimes I think being in a eight month long relationship with this one guy was a huge mistake. Granted, it taught me many things; one of them being patient, but even now as my hands are trembling with anger, I am finding this difficult to believe the relationship was worth anything. I won't go...

How often do you feel the Holy Spirit, and what are you doing when you do? I am a born again believer of eight years. Recently I have been digging deeper in my Bible and actually studying it, and trying to strengthen my relationship with the Lord. I know it is like a friendship with someone...

Growing up, I was raised and taught in a Christian home. However, it was my mother who was and is a born again believer, while my father was not. It was my mother who taught me about the Bible, ensured I went to church, and set a good example of how we should live. It was her who brought me to...

For the past two years I have struggled unbelievably harshly with making friends and growing the friendship in church. I will share that I can't drive, and unfortunately I can't attend the youth group's Tuesday night services, and any fun activities they plan. Along with that, I am very shy and...

Dating is probably my biggest struggle as a Christian. All around me my friends are either in relationships or are getting married. I try to, in a Christ-like manner, use eHarmony as an outreach for social interaction, as I don't get out very much due to transportation reasons. Even then guys...

Life can be difficult. Whether it be personal conflicts, work, relationships, friendships, and so forth. Living a Christian life can be just as difficult, if not more. Sometimes you might think 'Why'. People around you are going to college, working, or in a successful Christ-centered...

To some it may not seem worth praying for, but to me it is very important to me. Currently I am unemployed and unable to go to school and obtain the certification I want in order to start my career. Today I got a call from Dicks Sporting Goods who want to interview me on Friday. I ask for...

I will admit. I am not very good with guys. I am shy and my social skills could be better, but have significantly improved over the past two years. At my church there are what is called "connection classes", which are basically sermons as the pastor is preaching his own from across the street...

Happy happy happy birthday to me! I know it doesn't matter much but birthday's and holiday's are a big deal to me, so I tend to get excited. I'm turning 22 today! Whoo!

I'm an open book, and I love talking to others. Feel free to ask away!

My relationship is on a rocky foundation and I feel so helpless and concerned, and just want to turn to you lovely people about it. I have been in a relationship for seven months now. My boyfriend lives eight hours away and has been trying to find a better paying job so he can move closer to...

I dreamed my boyfriend told me he was going to visit me on March 10th, and then again in summer 2008. I was saved in 2008. As of late it has been rocky between my boyfriend and I. Any insight, opinion, or your own experience would really be helpful! I am just worried something 'bad' might...

Hello everyone! I am hoping you could help me understand and maybe quell my worries about a dream I had last week. I dreamed my boyfriend told me he was going to visit me on March 10th, and then again in summer 2008. I was saved in 2008. My mother says maybe I will feel really blessed, have a...

Hello everyone! In the past I have known some people who struggle with their faith or getting through the day. I, too, have experienced this, and I know how uplifting some words of encouragement can really help. Even a small verse from the Bible. This is why I opened an Etsy store, Daily Bread...

Hello everyone! As a firm believer in Christ, it is hard these days to find true Christ followers. I have many friends who are not believers, and it is very hard to sustain even a conversation with them, mainly due to cursing, sexual innuendo which can go far, and habits that I am really not...

For almost two weeks now I have been speaking to a guy. He is incredibly, everything a Godly man should be. He is very kind, sweet, and funny; he is incredibly devoted to God. He will even name the name of a verse from time to time in our conversation. We have a lot in common and he told me the...

Hello! You may not know me very well, or at all. This is because I have been inactive for a long time now, but I am glad to be back on the forum. I intend to stay on the forum nd converse with others, and help as well. Last night I had an experience where God opened my eyes. I truly believe He...
