    In need of prayer to get through withdrawal symptoms while I seek treatment.

    I've been addicted to adderall and vyvanse for about 15 years now. I'm talking to my doctor today to discuss how to proceed from here. Until then please pray for me. I need the peace that surpasses all understanding and deliverance from my addiction. Thank you in advance.

    The condemnation of Bibliomancy and or seeking an answer by randomly pointing within His Word.

    I should mention that I don't believe it is "forcing" an answer from God. If I open the Bible seeking an answer and the page I open to unmistakably addresses my situation, was it not because God was willing and able to provide me with a quick answer? If the page has absolutely no relation to...

    The condemnation of Bibliomancy and or seeking an answer by randomly pointing within His Word.

    Absurd? Perhaps. Impossible? Not at all. I used to get answers this way rather frequently, but this is my first time hearing it described as an occult practice or referred to as 'bibliomancy'. I certainly don't recommend anyone try it though. God does a lot of chastising and rebuking in the...

    I'm sorry I was attempting to quote someone else who was telling you not to focus on being sinless. Ask God to change your heart. I personally don't think it has anything to do with your OCD. It's a problem that a lot of Christians have but few attempt to address. It's good that you recognize...

    This is dangerous. Jesus made it possible for us to be forgiven. If you think his sacrafice means we are free to sin without consequences, you are mistaken.

    That's so upsetting. I was really hoping he'd have a happy ending.

    God told me not to get blood drawn yesterday. Any basis for this in scripture?

    There was more to it than that. Usually a "No" or "Do not" whenever I think about going to get it done.

    God told me not to get blood drawn yesterday. Any basis for this in scripture?

    I was about to leave to get lab work done and said to myself "I'll watch one more video before I go". I decided to watch some guy's testimony where he found Jesus and he started going on about how you shouldn't give blood and referred to it as "spiritual currency". I don't really believe in...

    God told me not to get blood drawn yesterday. Any basis for this in scripture?

    It was for routine lab work. It got me into a huge fight with my mom and dad but I was more scared of doing something I shouldn't. A quick search online yielded nothing other than we shouldn't eat blood.

    my cat doesn't purr and my female dog is crazy

    True story: my son got a hamster for Christmas. It was absolutely distressed being trapped in a cage. It would scale the walls, climb upside down, and chew on the bars desperately in an attempt to escape her fancy little prison. It made my son and I sad to watch her. This went on for weeks. Then...

    How to stop sinning

    As someone who has been struggling with the same thing since I became born again four years ago, I empathize with you. I'm not going give you the "everybody sins" cop out but I think some people here are failing to realize not everyone has the same level of hormones or self control. God sees...

    What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

    Don't try to rationalize what you don't understand. God is not rational by human standards. I saw you posted something about why Hell is eternal and "wouldn't it be less evil if..." CAREFUl with that. Just be thankful you've been given an opportunity to avoid going there.

    I cannot recognize the voice of God

    You sound just like me! I can't tell the difference either. I once called my ex's husband to confess that I was having inappropriate thoughts about his wife because I thought God was telling me to. I was scared of what would happen if I disobeyed but it was one of the most embarrassing...

    Why can't I find God?

    I wouldn't have become Christian if I wasn't absolutely sure God existed. That's what it took for me, as a former atheist, to convert. Absolutely certainty. I think God would have appreciated it much more if I had a little faith though. And you do. It only needs to be the size of a mustard seed.

    Is anyone else terrified of reading the Bible?

    Thanks for your replies everyone. I'm actually comforted in learning I must have misread it. I had wondered if it was the enemy trying to dissuade me from reading scripture. I just wish it was more interesting for me as it seems to be for everyone else. Please pray that the Lord will give me a...

    Antichrist Fears Again

    I'll just ask you straight up then. What makes you think you're the antichrist? Do you see yourself being some sort of world leader in your lifetime?
