    Prayers for friend with Leukemia

    Hello! I've written briefly before about my little brother, he has severe depressive disorder and has tried to commit suicide twice. He doesn't have any friends or any decent male role models, our father left when he was young and I know it's been difficult for him living with three women. In...

    The Hair Thread

    My hair was naturally blonde but turned more of a very light brown over time. I dyed it blonde for years, until I turned 25 and decided to be drastic and dyed it this beautiful deep violet red. It's hard to keep, so I'd use this salon shampoo with a little bit of red dye in it and it'd change my...

    I'm going to die alone, probably

    I know it hurts and being lonely for a long time, it leaves you wondering if there's something wrong with you or if you're lacking in some way. In all honesty though, I've found it's more God keeping me single for a reason. I'm better off not noticing the looks or glances or attempts at...

    Can you feel spiritual warfare coming?

    I'm still a bit new to this whole thing but I have experienced deep depression and I've battled blinding, incapacitating migraines that happen to hit me as I'm working on deepening my faith or getting excited about participating in anything faith-relating or sharing with others. The migraines...

    Finding the balance

    Early morning is a good time for God, and prayer before bed too. Very peaceful, quiet times and it's a good way to start and end your day. I find it gives me peace for my restless thoughts at night, and eases any anxiety I may be experiencing in the morning (lately it's been more depression). As...

    Can you guys tell if a person is scamming you or if they legitimately need help ?

    This is pretty much what my mother taught me growing up :) Give wisely, but never be afraid to give. She'd bless people in God's name, and stated that God's taking care of her, she can part with those few dollars, and whatever those people do with the money (honest or dishonest) is between them...

    Did you ever relate to a situation in your life to Abraham and Isaac?

    I'm not sure if it's the same, but I thought I'd share because this was incredibly difficult for me. I wrote about something similar, going through a difficult breakup with someone I believed I was going to marry/loved very much and loved me. We're entirely cut off from one another, and God's...

    I lost my pregnancy from a blighted ovum

    My heart is with you, I am so sorry for your loss, praying for you during this time. Remember, no jinxes! I know how it can seem at times when we confess our joy, for it to seemingly be taken from you as though you're being punished. It's the enemy's way of tricking us and convincing us we can...

    The Pride Of The Faithful

    I have noticed in the Christian community, pride gets in the way for a lot of us. I know it personally, and have found myself falling victim to it too. We start to drift from God's plan, His purpose, when we become about having to PROVE things. We become sort of...self-righteous and...

    Questions about suicidal people

    The spirit of suicide is evil, it seeks the self-destruction of God's creation. It is a darkness that just eats away at a person and steals their sense of self-worth. The person themselves? They're a victim, suffering, they're in pain and need God more than ever. They also need love, and...

    Comic Books Characters and Christian Allegories

    Right?? I've noticed a trend in recent films & TV shows too, where people are constantly using God and Christian themes/overtones and demonizing them. The heroes of the story are often on the side of humanity and claiming their freedom, assuming that God = Slavery, Human Free Will/Thinking =...

    Prayers for Heartbreak & Depression

    Please pray for me, I have been dealing with onset sadness and depression over my heartbreak. I think the breakup has sunken in to the point that I realize he's not coming back. I've been crying a lot more than usual and finding a hard time getting out of bed in the morning and keeping busy. I...

    Is it okay to hang out with an 18 yr old?

    It should be all right, honestly. As long as she doesn't have you doing anything that you're uncomfortable with or know isn't right (but it's like that with anyone, of any age really), it's okay. Working for years in an office with other women of varying ages, I've found it easy to get along...

    I am dying! Ingrown hair help!!!

    Those are the WORST! I'm a big baby so I try to avoid lancing if at all possible, so I usually use hot compresses and epsom salt to draw it out (epsom salt baths too, I tell you hot water does wonders). Eventually you'll have to get the hair out, but if I can get the swelling down it's more...
