I have a real burden for what's going on with what are supposed to be our brothers and sisters overseas. I think that a lot of good can be done through aiding the persecuted church. I know that there are many ministries such as Voice of the Martyrs and Open Doors which can obviously benefit...

Just wanted to give thanks to God (and hopefully encourage someone else) for the time He's given me to walk free of drugs and pursue a fruitful relationship with Him. I remember when I was on drugs, and the nightmarish life I lived. I remember the aches and the suicidal thoughts, and the...

Greetings! Long post ahead! I'll try and be as clear as possible, but I'm just laying everything out because I'm tired of feeling the way I feel. I was a drug addict for 16+ years, and in that period of time, I burned a lot of bridges, and a lot of things happened to my brain that make "normal"...

Mainly my neighbors in my apartment complex, and the people who live in the houses in my parents neighborhood. It feels a lot different and makes me more nervous because I'm around them everyday and they're more familiar with me. All I know to do is visit them and try and ask "Do you know you...

Just wanted to praise the Lord for what He's doing in my daughter's heart. I have a daughter that I share with my ex-wife, and I'm thankful for the peaceful relationship He's given us. But I fall short as a dad in a lot of ways when it comes to following the Lord. The greatest desire of my...

Hope this post is within the forum scope! Saw other posts and this one feels on track. I've seen several people who introduce themselves here speak of being addicted to drugs and wanting to give themselves to Christ. I often want to jump in and engage them in conversation. I was an addict for...

I was out for my parents having their car looked at. At one place I went to, I noticed a sticker a guy had on his car that said "Love everybody. Don't be a dick - Jesus". Now, I was infuriated and my mind started racing a thousand miles an hour. Why was I infuriated? There are so many instances...

Things that were partly my fault brought about a 1 year rift between my wife and my daughter. Today, unexpectedly, my daughter was with her grandmother at the same wal mart we were shopping at. My daughter gave my wife a big hug and said some very sweet things. I just want to thank the Lord for...

I have been clean from drugs for over 100 days now. While I was on drugs, I mangled my understanding of the bible and justified my drug habit by twisting scripture. It seemed like I was eternally cut off because nothing made sense anymore. But as I go on clean, and my mind is renewed, there are...

Like the title says, it wasn't long ago that I turned from a life of comfortable drug abuse and a non-social life to Jesus. I have returned to church, but as a person I don't have any real ties (they were lost or broken during my drug addiction) except for my parents, wife, and daughter. I want...

I won't spend many or any words on those years, but I gave in to the Lord's command to share the gospel, and it released a lot of the burden I've accumulated as a wandering Christian. I know that we need to fulfill the Great Comission, and though I fought against it, the Lord still has let me...

I haven't been the best example as a dad or a Christian, but my 11 year old daughter still takes a moment to turn off her music and put down the phone so we can say the blessing. It means a lot to me and I don't deserve any of the Lord's blessings, but I am thankful for this one, even if it is...

I would like to ask for prayer for myself that the Lord would come through and help with my ex-wife and her relationship with our daughter. A lot of things are moving me to tears. Also, my relationship with my wife needs prayer. Thank you, glory to God!

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I was a drug addict and a thief, but the Lord saved me, and now my days are focused on staying clean and trying to do right for my wife and daughter. If the Lord moves you to pray for me, I am thankful for that, there are a lot of challenges in my life! I...
