I'm new to faith, and my mind is very scientific, so I always ask the question "how". In this case, what do you mean by His guidance? Is he guiding us with his Spirit, through our emotions? Or is it through our experiences? If I apply for a job, and pray for it, and I get the job, was that God's...

The ability to decide upon something without ANY interference from outside forces, I suppose.

I don't understand, does obeying God mean obeying the instruction of the Bible, or am I supposed to hear from God and do what that voice tells me? The latter is kinda psychotic... I don't think anyone can really know how God speaks to them, unless they're a prophet perhaps, but I will assume you...

Hello guys, For a long time I've been trying to reconcile these two truths in my mind: God is in control and man has free will. I've read articles stating that our finite minds cannot understand how this is possible, yet we must accept them as twin truths. This doesn't make any sense in my...

For some reason, after thinking about something or feeling a certain way, I sometimes think to myself "Was that God who gave me those thoughts/feelings?" I get terrified when I ask myself this question. Even if I know He is good, I feel controlled, or scared that if I misinterpret and believe...

Hi guys, I've read some passages from scripture and I feel very confused. "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." -Psalm 32:8 "The heart of...

Hello all, I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks. I've suffered from anxiety for 2 years, but since a year ago I've been exploring religion, most notably Christianity as a way to cope. The bad news is that it actually makes me much more anxious and stressed, and nowadays all my anxiety...

I'm very confused about the teachings of the Holy Spirit as our guide and teacher. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit can directly reveal to us the knowledge of God, but my question is how do you discern between what the Holy Spirit reveals to you and a product of our mind? For example if I...

Hello christian community, I am experiencing a lot of anxiety when I think about topics of divine guidance, and other things. For me it feels comforting to ask for guidance in life because of my anxiety issues, but it just creates more anxiety. People have told me that God guides us through the...

Please seek help. Something is not right and is troubling you. Seek a counsellor who can deal with depression, because I think a lot of what you're going through could be depression. Write down what angers you so much, and if you feel like it, scream in a pillow, or punch a pillow, but basically...

Thanks so much. Now I'm beginning to understand better how God guides me. I was beginning to think that this anxiety and worries were lead by my incorrect knowledge of God, which is true. It makes a lot of sense now.

Hello, For some time now I've been unable to understand how exactly God guides us through life. In my prayers I always ask for guidance so I could achieve health and happiness, but I have a problem with the "way" God is supposed to guide me. I know that in order to be healthy and happy I need...

Hello, My battles with OCD and anxiety has been going on for a year about now, and I'm really losing my patience. I really appreciate any encouragement and help, and I desperately need it. To put it simply, I cannot stop trying to figure out minute details about the faith, and thinking deeply...

You're right. I'm not really Christian, but more like someone who believes in God and is just 'peeking' at Christianity. I'm like a mix between agnostic and Christian at this point. I read something that someone else posted, but it brang upon me a realization. "The spiritual journey is just...

I don't know

Hello, I don't even know how to start off. Everything is just overwhelming. Every day, almost every moment, thoughts rush in, with strong feelings of hate, fear, or anger surging through my body. I wake up every day asking myself: "Why am I doing this to myself? Why don't I just let go?" So...

Thank you all very much. It joys me to see how many responses I've received. I understand that I don't need all the answers, and that life isnt' all white and black. I'll do my best to take things slowly :)
