    Prayer for understanding and hope

    I'm requesting prayers that the Father will provide or show me how to understand recent events...and to have hope for the future. The past two weeks I've prayed hard for a certain outcome, for hope. Today that was destroyed, like He just sent me to His voicemail. I do not question the...

    Need serious prayer

    In a position where I see no hope for a future. I feel like God hates me or is playing a cruel joke on me. I don't know why I've been ignored for ten years, but I can't take it anymore.

    Need advice please

    I was dating this woman, who I've been a co-worker with, then friends, then close friends and then dating. We're very close. We've both prayed at length about our relationship and come to the conclusion that God led us to each other and He wants us to be together, there have been a lot of...

    I think I figured it out, but what now?

    For the longest time I thought I was depressed. But I fully function at work, and function well to the point of excelling. I'm an introvert who actually does well in professional environments with interpersonal communications. I think I'm really more suffering from anxiety of my own thoughts...

    Liberal/Progressive Christians

    How do those who claim to be Christians equate the teaching of Christ and the Bible, with their views on homosexuality, abortion and general leftist viewpoints?

    Where to go from here...

    I've posted before and not really gotten any direction. I've gotten the usual platitudes but no real direction. I'm clearly not doing things correct and prayer isn't working on getting direction either. I'm just going through the motions every day. Last week I never even left my apartment...

    Christianity with traits of Buddhism, is it possible?

    Like the question says, is it possible to be a Christian and really want to have an aspect of Buddhism? Specifically, to train yourself to want to have zero attachment so that you do not feel pain anymore. Basically I'm tired of being in emotional pain all the time. I'm quite certain no one...

    Edited: Question on Catholic beliefs

    I'm legitimately curious, so hopefully we can all keep a calm demeanor on this. Given the below scriptures how does the Catholic teaching that Christ is sacrificed over and over again, through the eucharist according to the council of trent, become reconciled with scripture that clearly states...

    Serious question

    How would you feel in this situation: Paraphrasing "You're a great person in my eyes and you've helped me a great deal. I really value your friendship and insight. You deserve someone great and I do too". Now if I'm so great and we both deserve someone great...hello, I'm right here in front...

    Why God and no one cares

    I've come to the conclusion that no one including God really cares about the individual. Maybe God cares about people, in general, as a whole but not the individual. No matter what you do in anything it really doesn't matter. No matter the effort, it doesn't matter. No matter the...

    Not sure where to post this...

    Maybe this is a prayer request, or maybe it's a question of sorts, I'm not really sure. I'm not having a crisis of faith. I fully believe in God and Christ and what He did on the cross. I'm thankful for salvation through grace and faith. I'm simply struggling with life. I've read a couple...

    Not sure where to go from here...

    No friends, nothing to do but work and school, 10 hour days and thinking about "her". So that's pretty much my whole thought process summed up. I have a successful career, I went back to school, I have hobbies, I have money, I have a roof, I have respect, I believe in the gospel and I know I'm...

    What happened to Christians being loving and kind?

    Anytime I post anything here I get nothing but condescension, judging and assumptions. No support love or understanding. Why?

    Does God really choose people for success and leave others to suffer

    Malachi 1:2, 3 seems to be that the Lord "preferred" Jacob and his descendants and "rejected" his brother Esau and his offspring. Why did He do this? The apostle Paul refers to this passage as an example of divine electing love (Romans 9:13). Does this mean that no matter what one does God...

    Alone

    I tried posting this in another forum and got nothing but non relevant replies pushing falsified hope. So maybe I can get real help here. I'm looking for advice about how to accept being alone for the rest of my life. Is there a way to let go and ignore the pain? My ex-wife cheated on me and...

    Alone with no hope in sight

    I'm looking for advice about how to accept being alone for the rest of my life. Is there a way to let go and ignore the pain? My ex-wife cheated on me and asked for a divorce between Christmas and New Year in 2009...that's 6 and a half years. I got told it was just a season, but 6+ years...
