Well I took one step in the right direction this morning. I went swimming .Sometimes I forget that exercise helps at least a little bit. My body is more relaxed today and a bit sore. I'm on a very tight budget so I'm not sure about which supplements yet but I had heard that valerian root might...

Wow! Thank you everyone! I will consider every reply and put some of these things into action. I feel truly blessed to be here!

Hello. I've been a Christian for 25 years and have mental health issues including anxiety. I've had a run of anxiety for about 5 weeks now. I have a terrible time reaching out to anyone when I have it. I finally texted my pastor's wife she gave my the usual answer...spend more time with God and...

He went out right away. I gave him mouth to mouth and he came back. He slept all evening. I shook him a couple of times to make sure he was alright but the last time in the night I checked he was dead. I wouldn't feel so guilty if I had not put the needle in his arm and shot in the drugs. But I...

Yes, I have been forgiven and God accepts me but what about him? And his family? And his children that had to grow up without a father? Why should I have it so good?

Yes. God spoke to him in a mighty way. Maybe I'm going to have to hear God before this thing is gone.

A long time ago, when I was on the street and a heroin addict and a prostitute, a customer asked me to help him try heroin. I had told him no several times before but this particular time I was desperate for some. He didn't know how to shoot up and told me he wanted me to do it for him so after...

I am glad you are feeling better. That is quite an encouraging list. My doctor started my on Cymbalta yesterday. With the Lord's help I hope it brings me out of this.

I do believe all of these things you say are true. God is a very loving God. I know in my head that He is loving and guiding me and forgiving me every step of the way even when I'm not doing things the way I think I should, it's just hard to get it into my heart sometimes. God is perfect in all...

Thank you, Tempura for talking with me. I guess it's really hard for me to see something if it isn't black and white. Jesus said if we don't forgive people our Father in heaven won't forgive us. I wonder is wanting to forgive is enough. Gosh, I'm 53 years old and have been a child of God for...

I guess that would be alright if it were once in a while that I had trouble forgiving a certain person in my past, but this person I have been trying to forgive for over 20 years and every time I think I have I realize I am still very angry at him. So, I guess I feel as thought I must not have...

What I am feeling right now is defeated. I started back into a depressive mode 8 days ago. All because of a song. The Good, Good Father song. Our praise team played it the Sunday before yesterday. It reminded me how much I fail God everyday at forgiving people. And then it just spiraled...

Well, I am glad you are on the right path for being so young (#?) It's good to see young people serving the Lord. I'm sure you will do well in your fight with binging and get the victory. I hear being positive is half the battle and you seem to be a very positive person. Thank you for all the...

Yes, I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was young, like #. I have been taking medicine for it all of my life. I cannot go to counseling because it just makes my depression worse. But, I'm glad you brought up Paul and his thorn. I am reminded that the Lord did not take it away...

The Lord saved me out of a terrible life # years ago. I was a heroin addict and a prostitute living on the streets. After He came into my life I was able to quit a large heroin habit and change my life, but here I am # years later still holding onto food. I held onto cigarettes until # years...

I don't know. Paul seems to be very clear.

If Jesus' blood is going to save us despite of our sin, then why does it say that in Galatians 5:21? and if I am in the wrong forum for this conversation, please forgive me and point me in the right direction. I don't want to discourage anyone.

So, that being said, that it is indeed a sin, means that I am living in sin and failing God. Maybe not even on my way to heaven. Galations 5:21 says anyone that does such things (that are listed) shall not inherit the kingdom of God. I know gluttony is not listed, but it is also a sin, so I...

Hello everyone. I am new here and am struggling, as I have been all of my life with food. I have been overweight all of my life, even as a young child. And I have been overeating as long. I have been a Christian for # years (I am # years old). The thing I struggle with most is this: Do I have...

Could you please explain what it means for my worship to be conductive to accurate knowledge? Thank you!
