    Seeking Orthodox Prayers at this point

    I have select people here praying for me, and I posted on the Prayer Wall not too long ago. I suffer from PTSD and OCD, which causes me anxiety and depression. The worst of my struggles is OCD, and particularly the intrusive thoughts that come with it. They are very distressing. Some days and...

    My mental health is deteriorating.

    I suffer from anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. These cause me depression. I'm getting professional and spiritual help, but I'm still slipping, and I see no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm in a deep, dark pit, and I feel completely without God.

    Homosexuality, Same Sex Marriage, and Why You're Wrong

    Politically I consider myself a Moderate who leans to the Right. Religiously I am a Conservative Christian. For quite some time I have been pondering the issue of homosexuality and same sex marriage. During this time, I always come to the conclusion that, as an American and a Christian, I have...

    Seeking prayers to overcome sloth/laziness, and to not be so overwhelmed.

    I'm a husband and a father of 4. I work 6 days a week. I'm also renovating a home we will be renting out for some extra income. Working so much and attending to the family has me in a funk. Here lately I haven't had the energy or the will to work on the property. I'm just so tired and...

    In the age of...

    ...smartphones, I must admit that I have no idea when I last owned or even wore a watch. This thread: www.christianforums.com/threads/the-eleventh-hour.8057022/ however, and specifically what @prodromos said, has been on my mind a lot. Mortality and being a watchful, prayerful and ready...

    We're buying a property to rent out as soon as we're done making some floor and roof repairs. Twas for a good price and we think we can make it work. Please pray that we are successful, that this won't be a money pit, and that the right people rent from us. This is our first such project...

    The Thief in the Night

    I'm discussing this thought in private outside of the forums, and would like to discuss it here, as well. My thoughts: I'm going to begin this by saying that Christ's second coming is very real and not allegory, so that there is no confusion. OK. But, do you think there is also a deeper...

    The Florida school shooter.

    I just saw outrage on the news about a letter that was sent to Cruz, the Florida school shooter, and I thought about the depravity of the world. They are outraged over a letter sent to Cruz saying, "If you need to talk, I will listen." Do not be mistaken. His crime, his sin, is terrible...

    The 2nd Amendment

    I want to discuss a point that I came across on social media. A European said, last century our government disarmed us. And now in Germany and the UK, people get arrested for social media posts. Lesson? If the government takes away your 2nd Amendment, one day they'll take away your 1st.

    How To?

    Is there a good way to address head covering with my wife? I know that it isn't required in many cases, but I love it and find it honorable and beautiful. She never covers her head. I would prefer if she did, at least in church. I don't want to come off as demanding it of her, or give her the...

    The Life of Abba Moses The Ethiopian

    I follow a great many Orthodox channels on YouTube. I get notifications from time to time about new videos to view. Whether right or wrong, in my mind, I attribute the notifications I get to be from God, showing me what videos I need to see and when. Again, whether right or wrong, it is edifying...
