It seems that the 2020s has been a decade of increased anxiety for some folks. First off was the pandemic, then the Russia-Ukraine war, and now the Israel-Palestine conflict. Here are three passages from the Bible that might give comfort. @SamanthaAnastasia , this Bible analysis is for you (and...
Good day, I'm asking prayer for the Lord to destroy and remove any spirit of lust, strife, anxiety and slander is coming against Dwayne St George. Thank you for all your prayer.
I need prayers please. to give some context, I am a married stay-at-home-mom of two precious little boys (ages 1 and 3 years). I am also working on my Master's program online and homeschool my 3 year old (my double-major bachelors is in Education and Child Development, so I like teaching). My...
Hey, I'm new here, I've been a christian since I was 8 (I'm 16 now) and I really need advice from Christian writers, because I feel like I'm going absolutely insane. But it's a really long story that dates back to a few years ago.
So, back in 2020, my familiy was in a really tense moving...
Psalms 37:1-7 ESV
“Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will...
Philippians 4:4-7 ESV
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace...
My ex boyfriend introduced me to the church I go to when we first started dating. I've been going since March of 2022. I've even become a member of the church--this happened a week before we broke up. I've still been going to church, ever since we broke up this past May (we broke up May 13...
I have an urgent prayer request for anxiety relief and for panic attacks to stop. I also need my depression to stop. I have a lot of social anxiety too. I need to have improved overall wellbeing and I need physical healing from the effects of the anxiety and depression. Please pray for me. Thank...
This has been a question that's been burning in my mind for a while. Really ever since a few years ago. Is there any evidence in the Bible that suggests that God punishes people who take their own lives? My mother told me that it's basically like "slapping God's hand away" since he gifted you...
My mother, who is a spiritual woman, has always talked about God's free will with humanity. One of the things she talks about is how some people have children that they weren't really supposed to have, which is part of God's "free will". So my question is this: Does God even care about the...
An old man was walking on the side of a blind corner rather than the safe walkway on the other side of the road. I drove in the middle of the lanes around him when oncoming traffic started getting closer.
My brain just went ‘got to go back in lane now’ but what really bothers me is that I also...
I come from a rough background, with a rough childhood and lots of traumas. I dealt with anxiety for a large portion of my life. Until I met my husband, became a Christian, left atheism. I felt healed in so many areas and was very secure in faith and in my marriage. Now my husband has come to...
I keep making possibly dangerous mistakes, today I didn't yield to a pedestrian at a crossing. I had checked for people while approaching it, stopped at the stop sign right in front of it, but as I was about to move on a pedestrian appeared from between parked cars and I stopped, they stopped, I...
So lately all of my compulsive thinking and anxiety and checking has been about my driving. Today I think I might have cut in front of a cyclist by accident!
I even came back shortly after, but the cyclist had moved on somewhere.
They were going down a hill quite fast, near the speed limit and...
Anxiety is produced when someone tries to push themselves to do something that does not come naturally to them, is not in their nature, and/or is not meant for them. Most anxiety is created by trying to be something that God did not create you to be or do something that God does not want you to...
I hate politics and everything related to it.
I'm apolitical. I'm not even patriotic. I have my own views and ideas that don't fit with either side or ideology 100%. Politics just gives me headcache, a bad gut feeling, anxiety and angst.
I hate the right, i hate the left, i hate centrists, i...

The diffusion of social media coincided with a worsening of mental health conditions among adolescents and young adults in the United States, giving rise to speculation that social media might be detrimental to...
I read everywhere on this forum that people with OCD have almost the exact same worries doubts and such as I have and have had.
They are not being able to sleep, I barely sleep only for a few hours at a time just to be waking up in panic. I don't know why this is like it is. The days go by and...
For months, I have been going crazy trying to make a big decision.
Should I stay at my dream school or go to an affordable school?
Last year in January, I was accepted into my dream school and transferred from a school I was attending that was in my state. However I realized at the last minute...
Hey all,
I'm a girl, and I've struggled with POCD for awhile. It's to the point where I'm hyper aware around kids, and I get anxious holding them or playing with them. I also, a few years ago, was worried about potentially going into high school teaching, because I was afraid of my thoughts of...
