• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think I am going to pray to each God and religion that has ever been on this earth in the hopes of maybe finding the true one.
Be aware that Satan is a live and well and living on Earth, seeking to deceive people into believing what he wants people to believe, drawing people away from Christ and the Truth of God's Word.

The Bible is God's love letter to mankind. Christ died to allow us access to the Father.

Every other religion has a leader with a grave that has his rotting bones in it, except Christ's. Christ rose from the grave to give us victory of spiritual death.

well not all of them, Judaism worships God and thats alive and well, Islam worships Allah and the profit Muhammad, and Jesus is actually in the Quran believe it or not. Buddhism is a very peaceful and loving religion, I guess Satan has turned into a softy. I am agnostic, I was just being sarcastic. I will continue to pray to God just for the sake of maybe getting an answer. But truthfully I am happy being an agnostic right now and god didn't help me with my depression my therapist did. He showed me the truth not god. I appreciate the help and kindness you showed. In the end I am not depressed anymore so all is good.

Believe or not, he is watching over you. You do not see it now, but couple of years down the road. Going be lot of areas in your life like this one where it seem to be over, yet you are brought back to a new beginning.

With everything going, don't let the limitations of people's understanding about our Lord and God force you to stray.

Anycase I am glad to hear your back on your feet. You are very strong, just have to believe it.

why are you guys not just happy for me, I found what I needed. Just because my solution was different than yours doesn't make mine less valid or good.
Katie,

We are happy for you, specially that you are not going to end it all. Every life is a gift from God, including yours.

What we trying to share with you or help influence you to look for that relationship with our Lord. I am sure with being Bi-sexual that you feel out of place, but I could easily make an arguement showing how God loves all his children.

We can not force you to believe. We can show you the door, but only you can walk thru it.

Luke 6:46-49
Building on a Solid Foundation

46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

My life never made sense and seemed like I could never make it. I drown myself in my own pleasures played out my dreams in a box. I gave up on women all together, but the impossible happened. I met a female gamer and persue a relationship that would not work. When I met her in real life, great couple of days. She was so talented yet here I was with no skills. Relationship ended not long after I came back from Canada. I finally said I am tired of this empty existance and started to persue my faith.

Today thanks to help of 2 prophets, healing ministry, and the wisdom shared by another man on how he saught after faith. I became a believer in January and my life is in transition between my past of living on sand to solid rock of Jesus' teachings. I have seen some amazing things happen in my life and today I have greator understanding of myself and world around me. I found that I have ADD, and many dysfunctions I picked up from world drowning in sin. Each day is better than the next.

Faith does not bring you down or make you dumb. It opens your eyes and makes you whole. It is a journey of constant self improvement imo.

I wish I could share this with you, but I learned from my own mistakes. I can't force it apond you, only you can let our Lord into your heart.

Anycase we will be here for you need support again.

May God bless you.

Is it possible that God provided you with a good therapist to help you with your emotional issues? God works through my therapist all the time. I pray before I go to therapy, and I have a friend who also prays for my therapist. In therapy, I do a lot of hard work and I am blessed immensely in the process. I believe that God works through the people in our lives, and I am blessed with a lot of wonderful people who love me and care about me, and help me grow.

Hugs,
Trish

Indeed how do you know who it was? That is why Jesus arrived amongst us, to help us recognise the good God who is there for us constantly, even when we don't know that He is or even who he is. Jesus was God's best explanation of God and how we can discover him.
