    Fear of Death

    I have a fear of dying. It seems to primarily come to mind when I go to bed at night. The fact that I will one die frightens me. I like to think that I will not die until I reach a much older age (I'm 27 going on 28) and that by then I will be ready. However, we all know that death doesn't...

    Mercy

    Please pray for God to have mercy and give me another chance. I strayed from Christianity into athiesm and Taoism and I now reject those things but I fear it's too late. Like God doesn't love me anymore. Many people on CF will even tell you someone who strays is not really a believer or twice...

    False Witnesses

    Tuesday, May 30, 2017, 6:03 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Draw Me Close.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 27 (Select vv. ESV). The Lord Is (vv. 1-3) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom...

    Letter To The Faithful - Do Not Be Afraid !

    Do not be afraid ! Do not be afraid of the world! For we are called and placed in it, so as to interact with the lost and make known the Christ in us. I know that many may find it a challenge to be in certain places where we are concerned that it may not be conducive to our Christian Faith, as...

    Things worrying me

    About sending the HS away, I don't want Him to go but I keep saying these things I don't feel Him with me now and I'm afraid I've been left forever. Please pray for God to have mercy on me and give the HS into me again to save me and lead me. I am afraid of these words, like in Matthew 12 of...

    Asking For Prayers

    I want to ask for prayers that God will have mercy on me. That He will change my heart to love Him and hate sin. That He will give me faith to endure anything. That I will be convicted of sin and convinced of grace. That I will be given the HS and saved by Jesus. And that I will not want to live...

    Need Peace & Comfort, To Feel Safe

    I would really like to feel God's peace and joy. I have suffered from a panic disorder and acute anxiety for over 6 months and I've recently started to feel a ton better after getting help from doctors, a therapist, psychiatrist, returning to church and connecting with family a lot more. I...

    Impulsive thoughts scaring me

    I keep having the thoughts popping into my head about the mark of the beast. All these thoughts about the things the beast will do like ending wars, I had a thought creep in about "that's nice he's ending all wars" I don't want l go to hell with that horrible mark but I keep having thoughts and...

    Unreal

    I was nearly sick this morning, and around that time I got this alert. I set YouVersion verse of the day as a 7:00 alarm to make sure if I turned off my normal alarms I'd wake up to that (although my hearing is a little messed up right now) and an image of the day at like 8:30 or something (but...

    They Rise Up

    Friday, April 21, 2017, 9:09 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Why are You Afraid?” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Acts 4:23-31 (NIV). On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them...

    Why Are You Afraid?

    Many throughout the world are presently being severely persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ and for their testimonies for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Numerous saints of God are being martyred because they refuse to deny the name of Jesus Christ, they refuse to bow to the world’s system...

    Stuck in the middle

    I want to read more and become one of those great apologeticists that has an answer for like everything but I'm also terrified of not being saved and being rejected or blinded by God so that I cannot be saved because He simply doesn't want me anymore (blasphemy, apostasy, mark of the beast....)...

    Am I experieincing derealization/depersonalization or fear??

    Hey everyone. I have been dealing with anxiety on and off ever since Christmas last year. I am under a lot of stress and I think thats where it stems from. I’ve also noticed that it seems to be higher closer to that time of the month for me. I will have really good days that feel like I’m coming...

    No Love For God

    I cannot honestly say I love God. I feel like my only motive for pursuing him is in attempt to get saved from hellfire. Instead, I have built up resentment for him in my heart. I feel like he has selfishly cursed humans into a life of suffering so he can demonstrate his greatness. I feel like...

    Me again

    I'd like to ask for prayers for mercy again. It's pretty clear but I'll recap for people who don't know me: My biggest fear is that through apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-6, and idolatry passages/straying), selling my soul (Mark 8:36), or the unpardonable sin (Blasphemy of the HS Matthew 12, Mark 3...

    No Assurance

    A lot of people already know but, I struggle with impulsive thoughts and fear of having committed the unpardonable sin, by apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-6, had a period of strong doubts and depression leading me to call myself atheist and Taoist for a while) or blasphemy (cursing and blasphemy against...

    Resentful thoughts

    There are times where I feel so abandoned by God. I have questioned God and had thoughts of cursing Him and giving up trying. It's such an uphill battle for me. Like trying to climb a mountain with my feet chained to two trucks. It's hard not to feel like 1984. Like I had one bad thought. I did...

    Consistent panic

    I have had panic attacks but not like this. I feel that buzzing sensation in my arms a lot, and I'm scared. What can you do to make them not be so intense?

    Why do some Christians act so hostile toward questions?

    It seems like often when doubters/agnostics/atheists present questions or problems to Christians, some get hostile. They say that they're trying to spread deceit, that they aren't true Christians, that doubting is dangerous, that they'll go to hell, etc. Why do many seem so afraid to question...

    Communion

    I'm baptist, so we don't do communion often, only I'm afraid it's coming soon. I know about 1 Corinthians 11:27, eating unworthily makes you guilty of sinning against Jesus, some people say makes you guilty of Jesus's death, as the people who actually beat Him on the cross were. I'm afraid of...
