Hey Msb23, working in my sleep hygiene was a real answer to prayer in my anxiety journey. It's a slow fix, but it sure does make a difference. Consider also a Christian therapist. I like one of the suggestions to replace the thoughts with memorized verses, but there are some very specific...

Hey bro. Sorry I'm so late to this party. I too am painfully an introvert. While my wife doesn't lead any worship, she's very much social and a people person. I too, used to not like going to church. And as I think about it, there are 2 big things that made it click for me. 1) I read...

Hey lifelong, I agree with the consensus on this. We repent and give our hearts to God, we aren't immediately freed from our fleshly bodies. Fighting the fleshly pull is a lifelong battle, please don't give it up. And don't let it defeat you either. I heard a sermon last year that really...

Yeah bro. I find these posts somewhat interesting. My experience with christianforums has been that you'll get some real judgmental posts really quickly. Your story seems to describe a pretty normal marital/parental fight. There may be some underlying disfunction there, but one wouldn't...

Prayers bro. I pray that this season in your life turns into a Spring.

Hey man, I'm sorry this site can be so judgmental and I imagine you're already feeling pretty guilty about this whole thing. Try to let that go. Then try and discover why God gave this women to you. To do that, you might have to let some things go. You might even have to dig a little deeper...

Hey Vincent, I'm a little late to this "party". I feel pretty confident that accusing someone of being a false prophet is not the same as blaspheming the Holy Spirit. EVEN if that "false prophet" is actually true and Holy Spirit inspired. Now here's the thing that perhaps will clog the works...

Right, prayers your way. Grieving is a process and needs to be allowed to proceed. I'm wondering if your friend has gotten stuck at some stage of the grieving process. Have you tried connecting your friend to your Pastor or the Pastoral Care people in your Church?

Hey Hanging... welcome aboard. I'm a Christian, from Baptist background. The sentiment you shared is something I've run across in a few Catholics in my life. I encourage you to reconnect to your Church and maybe engage your Priest. I also encourage you to check out a non-denominational too and...

Prayers bro. The verses that bring me the most comfort are ones that show someone is worrying, or anxious, or whatever that are reaching out to God. Verses like that remind me that there is nothing new under the sun. I encourage you to search them out on your own--Google is a good help here...

I think the original post here is very interesting. We humans were not put here to judge. It's above our pay grade. Your friends' lack of forgiveness certainly smells of sin but per my comment above it's not for me to say. I think you confronted it Biblically, you certainly did better than I...

Hey Saved. Intrusive thoughts is a thing that I've seen talked about as a mental health topic. I encourage you to look it up in the internet. I've done some self taught CBT for my own anxious thinking. Then do a study or two on (or just read in) Psalms. I just finished "Book 2" (most Bibles...

I think still the modern church hasn't done a good job dealing with mental health. My experience has been that the church leadership is pretty good about it but the church body still seems to think that these mental health are somehow a reflection of our walk with Christ. If that's something...

Hey man, I haven't read anything that suggests what your talking about--it being harder pray the closer to damnation you get. What you're describing sounds more like a dry season to me. I went through a series based off of this book Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart: How to Know You are Saved...

You made such a nice list, so I though I'd be direct with my thoughts on answers.... ✝️What is the purpose of prayer in Christianity? -It's as much because God desires a relationship with us as anything else. ✝️If God knows what is in your heart already.... what is the purpose of prayer? -For...

@Job405 demonic possession vs mental health is an interesting topic, but I won't pretend to know how to tell one vs the other and I also won't pretend that this designation matters overmuch. What I encourage you to do is to seek to understand the Mental Health aspect of intrusive thoughts; it...

Hey Tyler welcome aboard. Continue to study the Bible, check out a different translation. NIV is maybe more prominent these days than the KJV, it's definitely more readable. I really like "youversion"'s Bible app which let's you toggle between translations. Lastly, feelings of sadness are not...

fbow can you and your marital counselor get your wife to try individual therapy? It really does seem like she might have a personality disorder herself. Regardless of the fate of your marriage, as her husband, no one is better suited to help her deal with this.

Hey Donky, I'm way late to this party, but I can be concise. I encourage you to check out the book Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. Also, anything by Michael Franzese--the condensed version I heard from him speaking was that he came to Christ through logic while in prison. Your questions remind...

hey campbell, I see you're doing well with regular, purposed quiet time. How is your church participation? Do you have a group of fellow Christians you can confide in? Better still, is there an elder/pastor you can trust. God can speak to us from so many different angles. I encourage you to...
