    On the radio...

    I heard this song. Not making it up. It describes a woman with tear-stained eyes. She feels utterly defeated, and unlovable, asking "How did I end up here/get like this?" Might have said if she can ever return. Idk maybe that was reading myself into her but it was more... seemed like someone...

    Please pray for me

    I know some people have seen my featured threads already but I just can't not worry about it. I am afraid I have irrevocably sold my soul (I don't want to but I said that I did with the Names of the Trinity and said irrevocably I want to cancel it out but I don't know if I can) and I am afraid...

    How to handle fear and worry day to day

    Christ tells us that faith conquers fear and worry; that we need not fear or worry if we have faith and trust in him. I haven't had much to fear or worry about in my life until recently and now I am finding it very difficult to deal with. Because I have fears or worry does that mean I don't...

    You Have This As Well?

    Apart from hearing voices, which in my case are under controll. When I am off from work, I am scared. I have to go out or phone to pay some bills or to better organise my bills, which for me are of course a struggle. It scares me. Today the weather was nice but cold, I did the laundry and that...

    This thought is scaring me

    There seem to be a number of people who believe all things are caused by demons or angels (not calling out anyone specifically just someone's comment made me think of this again) so like, would someone with Schizophrenia or Dissociative Identity Disorder ... have demons? Need an exorcism not...

    Living with Anxiety

    Hey Everyone, I wanted to seek counsel and prayer on an ongoing issue in my life. I am constantly living in fear - fear of rejection, fear of losing people i love, fear of failure, etc. I am always acting out of fear, if that makes sense. It feels like everything I do is calculated to protect...

    Fear of Hell and Faith

    Does anyone else have their faith in God based highly off of fear of Hell? I have love of Jesus for dying for me and creating me. And was first drawn to the gospel by something else than fear of Hell. It was hope he'd remove a demon from me and something else long and complicated. But fear of...

    Can't sleep

    I don't know if anyone's out there, but I haven't been able to sleep. I heard about this scary movie, and even though I don't watch horror movies cause I scare easily, my stupid curiosity led me to at least check out the ending. Now I can't sleep, and because I think in pictures, it's been...

    Doubts and Fears

    Over the past several months: I used to never miss church, and I loved going and worshiping, and learning from the preaching. Then it started to become easier to miss and didn't seem as important. And when I did go, my heart wasn't in it. I would lift my hands and pray but it's like I didn't...

    Fear of losing salvation

    I can hardly bring myself to do anything right now, all I can do is focus on my fears. I want to die but fear death more than I ever have. I just want peace with Christ. I fear that the LORD hates me. Like the passages with Esau, He might hate me and there's nothing I can do. (Like: "Jacob I...

    Fearful backslider

    ive heard it said that a true Christian will never fully doubt, a sin never backsliding to the point of being an atheist or other religion follower. Does this mean I was never saved before I backslide? And can I be saved now? Is eternal life conditional on 100% of the time faith?

    Understanding the variables that fuel the Christian's debilitating OCD.

    First let me say though OCD wins the battle, God wins the war for you.
