dreamcatcher, you are not alone in this, and many have given you good advice. I would echo psycmajor's comment about building up pressure. You should release your anger, do not let it build like a steam locomotive. If you feel that the events of a day have drained your temperment, I find...

Hello, Laura! I am not speaking to those whos struggles are beyond the realms of mental healing. I have been in the throes of mental anguish, but not to the extent that you have. I do acknowledge that for some, the help of the Lord may be with medicine to deal with the effects. No, my...

Brenda, I'm very sorry for your pain. I will pray for you daily, for God to show you his goodness and hope for your life. Brenda, I do not know if you are a Christian. If you are not, that is your first hope for relief from your pain! God does not despise you, not for cursing him, not...

This is going to be long, but I want to provide some explanation as well as some hope for people who read this... Christians are no more depressed than anyone else as a group. However, you have to understand what causes some symptoms of depression. You also have to realize something else...

That is very good, Lambslove, it was a good thing to read this today. Cheers and God Bless!

...remember that praise to God, even when you are not feeling like praise, will lift you up: Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do *not* be anxious about anything, but in everything, by...

David, if you're hoping that someone will give you an easy answer to your question, I would say that it is not up to us...you need to ask God what he wants you to do. The main thing is to be of an open mind when you ask him, and don't put words in God's mouth. I've learned that many times...

Endure, I've got an interesting aside to your comment...I've found that when things were REALLY in the dump for me, my comment to myself was "How can I possibly NOT live this life?" You see, when things were really bad, I could see how my failures of attempting to follow God were actually what...

I don't recall that being in my commentary, or insinuated either. You probably should have posed your question differently in your original post for this thread, as you obviously do not wish to discuss opposing points of view. Therefore I will refrain from further comment. Cheers and God...

"I ask for support and I get judgment." Please note the smiley behind my comment, it was not intended to offend, but offer a humorous twist to your statement. You are correct in Christ's teachings, but forgetting that we follow the Bible as a whole, which also includes the Old Testament...

"Ever notice how goats are always butting their heads together? You'll never see sheep doing that!" I hate to say this, but some of you have never lived on a farm... :) Generalizing here a bit, goats tend to have a worse temper than sheep, sheep usually tend to be mild mannered compared...

Hmmmm. I feel the Holy Spirit much closer than I used to, and KNOW that the Spirit delivers comfort. It has taken me tribulations and trials to feel the Spirit working in my life, but I have given thanks to the Lord that it brought me closer. I have felt the Holy Spirit deliver complete...

Hi, lambslove, I don't think you really offended anyone here, at least it didn't appear like that to me. Perhaps you may be TOO afraid of offending someone? :) Maybe I can help by stating some things that I feel about the situation. I do have a background in the military, but I can also...

Snowdrift, I will keep you in my prayers. Change is never easy, even for the best of us, and even Christians who have been "dyed in the wool" for a long period of time can find it hard dealing with ourselves at times. I've been in the same situation as you, but I had been a Christian for...

Laura, As an ex-member of the military, I know what it's like to be suddenly dumped somewhere without anyone that you knew before. It takes time to get back everything that you felt that you "lost". However, I'm here to tell you that adversity such as this almost always turns to...

Harpy, I feel for your confusion and searching, and will pray for your soul-seeking. However, I have several things to mention: I will certainly not say that you should not research other religions. To me, that is almost a necessity in a sense, you should know what you're up against. I can...

This is getting a bit off track, but let me comment on the FBI story. For one, this was printed in "Wired". Treat it as you would treat any other media...they want you to read their story. I have been a part of many forensic and monitoring investigations on people doing what they were not...

Hello! I think with all the other good advice, you will find that Jesus' example tells the whole story: Matthew 26:36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." 37He took Peter and the two sons of...

This has been a good thread, and I hope you are getting some insight, CNLisa. I also hope and pray that you and your husband are taking steps in Christian counseling to break away from this sin. Let me gently correct a few misconceptions, though. There is a big difference between sexual...

bobbygolucky, I believe you have made some good choices, and it *seems* to me that they are based on what God is probably telling you. I also believe you discovered what we knew all along...fear of the numbness is only a result of fear of hurt, not the other way around. Continue in your...
