    God Knows Better than I

    I believe this song and video beautifully captures the attitude we should have when we are going through trials. Isaiah 55:10-11 NKJV "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to...

    Ocd related accidental vows

    Hi, I just wanted to know what other people thought about accidental or unintentional vows. I have OCD and i get a lot of vows tormenting my mind to give up hobbies that I enjoy. I still struggle with this but have gotten better at knowing that God knows my heart and that these are just...

    Impulsive promises

    Every time I see money my brain starts trying to promise it all to God. I know we are not supposed to swear or if we promise to the Lord fulfill it quickly but I don't mean to promise everything in sight. It's already a problem when I have to support myself how do I handle it? I can hardly put...

    OCD and Vows

    Hi, I've read a lot of the threads about ocd related vows to God and I have dealt with basically the same exact thing. I fear that I will or have made many vows, and most of them have to with "If this random event happens, then I promise to not do...(something that I really want to do). These...

    Vows and OCD

    Long story short, I was struggling with OCD a while back, and engaging in some very legalistic thinking and behaviours. For example I thought that God wanted me to stay awake all night and agonize over my Bible, or else I would go to hell. A very rough time of my life, which has thankfully...

    He is Faithful

    Monday, November 14, 2016, 6:28 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “His Tender Mercies.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Acts 1:1-11 (ESV). He Had Given Commands (vv. 1-3) In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day...

    Pray for Debt to Be Paid

    Fifteen years ago this Christian man and his wife borrowed our musical equipment because they had nothing to start their music ministry. It got stolen from their van. The man promised to pay us for the loss and never did. I have since located him again—didn't have contact with him for the past...

    My Helper

    Thursday, March 17, 2016, 3:18 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, “I Will Lift My Eyes.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read John 11 (select vv. ESV). https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+11&version=ESV Take Your Burdens (vv. 1-4) Now a certain man was ill...

    Fear Not, Little Flock

    And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor...
