    How are you MENTALLY escaping all the COVID-crazy?

    I could use some advice, some ideas, some pointers... I am prone to generalized anxiety and depression which I fight via naturapathic means like herbal supplements as opposed to xanax. For someone like myself, routine, regime and stability are essential. I like my 9-5. I like my morning commute...

    Divine intervention found withim a scary story?

    I listen to these scary stories on youtube. I know, I know. Probably not great for my mental or spiritual health. They are addictive. It’s probably something to have a one-on-one with God about. There are several youtubers who do this... they have regular people submit their creepy stories and...

    Prayer for finance answered (from last week)

    On the prayer wall early last week I posted about how we took our 14 month old baby out of one daycare that wasn't working out and were going to pay a home babysitter, but there would be an issue with funds due to the daycare not refunding pre-paid money and babysitting service asking for theirs...

We will need to...

    Pray for my husband's faith

    For nearly two years now, my husband's relationship with God or desire for one has been about as reliable as my phone signal when I'm driving home from work, down that long coastal road in the middle of nowhere. "Where did it go?" "Oh! there it is... ugh it's cutting out again!?" "Hello? I can't...

    How to deal with two major uncertainties in the future?

    A little backstory- I have been married for more than five years and have a baby. But for eight years, I've lived in the same tiny apartment. I mean, it's good enough, but it seems to get smaller and smaller every year. All my peers around me have bought or built houses and put down their roots...

    Purging friendships

    I’m curious what the Christian viewpoint is on this. Modern society and modern media would say “If your friends say ________, get rid of them you don’t need that negativity” “Surround yourself with people who make YOU feel good!” “No haters” But then in the Bible, Jesus was dining with tax...

    Prayer for God's provisions for us...in 2021

    OK For this prayer request to make sense, we need a little backstory. ten years ago, I took on a relationship with a young man even though he had been released from the military with 70% PTSD. We had to overcome some big challenges over the years because of this, but God took care of us. Five...

    Did God's provisions start showing because you asked? or were they there all along?

    "All things work together for good for those who love God" Romans 8:28 "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find" Matthew 7:7 If you're like me, you always believed in God and believed that Christ lived, walked the earth then died for your sins. So when you were younger, it...

    If so, that's great. I have lots of thoughts on why tacos are delicious.

    What my thirties feel like so far...

    Every played a video game, maybe like Donkey Kong or Mario Brothers.... you go through the whole level and miss bonuses, lose lives and don't score as high as you could have? Then you replay it and, remembering the places where you made a lot of mistakes, you make it a point to avoid the...

    31 years old and Striving to become a Proverbs 31 wife

    I should have been that all along. I've got the homemaking and cooking down. It's the part about "Bringing him good not harm" (Proverbs 31:12) that I know I need work. Ours was a long off-and-on relationship fraught with anxiety before we were married due to my husband having PTSD. After we...

    Books as inspiration, Bible as foundation

    I am new on this forum. I wanted to post a few threads about good books I've been "reading" (listening to in the car) in hopes of finding a few study friends who could share their thoughts on them with me. So far, the feedback I've gotten, is that any book but the bible is a distraction from...
