• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." - Romans 7:15

I believe God moved it on Paul's heart to speak about this for the sake of "spiritual empathy". Paul was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, disciple of The Lord, and if he experienced recurring sin issues, then it stands to reason that we will too. But never forget what John said:

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

Have a good one, friends! :thumbsup:
