    My mother died, kind of suddenly

    She died in my arms yesterday. Technically me and my dad were caring for her when it happened, the two of us in our living room holding her up. She was talking to us, but it was incoherent and I couldn’t figure out what she was trying to say. What I remember is my last words to her: “I’m here...

    I'm lonely and I need a friend

    I'm going through a very difficult time in my life right now. I'm trying my best, though. I practice an abundance of self-care skills, activities, and things that otherwise bring me joy. I surrender my emotional pain to God, and I've reconnected with my faith. I try to practice acceptance and...

    Finding an Anchor in God

    I am grieving right now. I’m grieving the loss of a damaging, unhealthy, and harmful friendship, but a friendship I held close to all the same. I’m grieving the loss of the familiar life I used to have, a life my old friend played a massive role in. I’m grieving myself, as it relates to this...

    When Thoughts Trouble

    I pray to the Lord When thoughts trouble my mind. I put my trust in Him. Then, peace I do find. I have no control Over what others do. They all have the freedom To others subdue. It pains me to watch How some lie and they trick. Their plans are so sneaky. Their words are so slick. They hate...

    Would my pets who I had to rehome welcome me into Heaven? Would they stop loving me?

    Lost Opportunities

    The Lord reminded me this morning of this old poem I wrote in 1984: Spring 1984 Lost opportunities to share His love, To touch a life, to show you care, Touch a hand, help mend a heart Broken down with grief and despair. Lost opportunities to be a friend, To share a smile, to shed a tear...

    Devastated by failed marriage and losing faith

    I desperately need prayer and encouragement. I am so deeply hurt by my husband's betrayal and our subsequent separation that I have come to doubt the Truth in my grief. I have come to doubt God's love. I have come to doubt the life giving power of the Gospel. The pain is excruciating. I am so...

    Moving Forward

    Hello all! About a month and a half ago I truly came to Christ. I've been raised a Christian my entire life, but after my mom miscarried twice a couple years ago I turned away hardcore. During that time I did some things that I'm particularly unproud of. This particular "thing" ruled me for...

    Has anyone else here lost a parent in their 20s or sooner?

    Last year, I lost my father when I was 22. It's hard to explain, but I know if you've been in the same situation, you probably know what I mean. Everything just feels different, less important, scarier. I guess I am mainly looking for fellowship here, people who have gone through the same thing...

    Just crying right now...

    So it's been a few months since Kim Jonghyun of SHINee committed suicide. I know it might seem weird that I'm so emotional over a celebrity death, but I have been his fan for years and I don't know if anyone is familiar with Korean music culture, but often Korean entertainment allows musicians...

    Please Pray For My Family!

    Hello All. It seems as if today, or very soon, my grandmother is likely going to pass away. Although I come from a family of atheists, she is the only other Christian(apart from me). Please pray that she passes over in peace. Thank you
