• 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.

  • 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.

pray for me to move on..for God's power to come on me to stop sinning and to resist temptation..to let go of the things i need to let go...and to lay down my life for Jesus..as some things that I have to do for God's will to be done..i am having trouble accepting them..espeicall when i dont want to do it..i just know i havent let go..whenver i try..i can't seem to fully let go..there is just a hook in my soul that will not let go..or submit to God's will...in fact..these things that i cant let go..have in fact destroyed me..i have been fallen for along time now..almost a year:..but not letting go of them..has caused my heart to be so far from God..i know He wants the best for me..but to let go of these things fully i cannot fully do..i am actually really confused at this time..as i am not hearing from God..or I am..but I am confused on what is from Him..really i need prayer and support...i need help in some way..prayer is the most important thing i can think of..as it comes down to my own choice..as i know i have been stuck here for a long time..and i know its my choice that will deliver me...to which i cannot seem to fully make..as i just lost all confidence with God and hope in him..i just cant seem to live a righteous life or a holy life...for that matter..i just keep falling into sin..no matter what i do..

but i do read the word..just pray for me to accept the word..to let go and fully submit to God..or i know i will not make it..as i am just listening to satan..he is always lying to me..

but anyway..no more self-pity..just pray again for acceptance and for God to change what only He can change..hopefully fast..cause i am a wreck..and just keep sinning...

Dear HoneyCombSon,

You do deserve to have people pray for you. You are God's child and our brother in Christ. We all sin and struggle with it, yet we have a Savior that loves us and forgives us for our sins-past, present, and future.

Dear Lord, Please help our brother in his weakness, and give him strength to overcome. I pray acceptance of what he is reading and understanding of your word. I pray he would flee the devil, and that he would see the way out that you always provide for us when we are tempted. I pray peace and rest for him as he gives this problem fully to you, and you carry his burdens for him.

Thank you Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

a hook in your soul... yes, i know all about that. if you cant let go, God will have to bring you to the place where you can. the best thing you can do, is to not turn away from God. no matter how you struggle and ache and stumble, keep looking up at Him even if you cant hear or see, and pray for protection. the reason you 'cant' let go, is partly coz you dont truly want to. God will work on you and in your circumstances to bring you there, if you refuse to go willingly, and that's gonna hurt.

thanks for your replies..i never thought of that before allthatisgone..it is true..i really dont want to let go..and in all honestly..i never do..because it will only be in fear..that is the only reason i am still here..with God in all honestly..is fear..of hell..and punishment...

i have posted all this before though..this is the hardest thing i have had to do..i just cant seem to accept God's word...you know.its the part..where i dont care of self-pity anymore..and talking about it over and over..but i know something needs to be done..however..i am close to the point were i can change..but i am also close..to the point..were i will just leave God and not look back...it is hard for me to stay with God right now..hard for me to believe in Him...hard with the anger..and the lack of willingness..to repent..to love and other things needed to let go...pretty much..i have lost all hope..and alot of care

but that is way i need prayer..i talk to God everyday..and i try not to sin..or fall..but it does not go well..because its all in fear..not faith

please keep me in prayer i would really thank you for that..pray for hope and willingness..God bless

hello all again..i need to talk..as i dont have anybody to talk too here..i am the only christian in the household..but anyway..it is really bad..what does one do when your wholeheart is against God..not in like out right sin..but like you dont want to serve..or follow..or love Him..that is how i honestly feel...the truth like i always say..is i hate God more then anything..that is the truth!..no lie...it is bad..because in every way my heart is so far from God..not willing to come back fully or do anything in the right path..i just cant believe Him..not matter what..it is that bad..how does one obey or do anything on the right path..when your heart is totally the opposite?..like i try to obey..but i dont want too..my efforts are useless..because there is no motive in me to do right for God..whatever that means..

but anyway..i am affraid..and sick...i needed to talk again..as this bugs me..i am not getting any better..because i just dont want God in my life..i dont know what keeps me here..cause i know its not worth it to leave God..mostly because i am affraid of punishment and the consequences...

i just need to talk to someone..as i dont have anybody to talk to here..as my parents are supportive.and loving..but they would not understand at all..as they are not believers...i am lost..i just dont like God at all..i dont care what He says

forgive me...please pray for me..as the salvation of my soul and safety need it..as i just fall and fall and get worse and worse..

You are not the only one who goes through these struggles. The man who wrote the song 'Amazing Grace' was a slaver before he found God. Your plea reminds me so much of the second verse to the song.

Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
and Grace my fears relieved.
How wondrous did that Grace appear
the hour I first believed.

The fear of hell is a good motivator to get you started on the right path, but it will never keep you there. What you need is a personal relationship with God. [I'm sure you hear that all the time. Please bear with me! ;) ]

It sounds to me like you believe in God with great fear and trembling, just as Jesus described the demons of hell. But I don't think you have given yourself over to Him yet. That is why you are unable to stop sinning. Of course, being in a non-believing family doesn't help.

For one thing, you need to get around some fellow believers. Finding a church and going would be of great help for you, I think. God promises that "where two or more are gathered together in my name, I am with you." Hanging out with others of faith is a way of inviting God into your life.

For another thing, you need to truly repent. Now repentance doesn't mean that you will never sin again. It means that you have changed your mind about how you want to live. You have to really mean it. If you manage to overcome temptation even once, it will be easier the next time. When you are feeling the urge to sin, try to get by yourself and ask God for help. Just simply tell Him that you know you can't stop yourself, but that He can. He will find a way for you to cope with the temptation. That approach has never failed for me. [Now, if only I would use it a little more often! :p ]

Once you establish a relationship with God, the fear of hell will retreat, and you will be able to more clearly see the blessings that await all the children of God. That will become an even stronger motivator.

Blessings.

You say you don't believe in God, but that you still fear Him. Doesn't that mean you believe in Him? If you don't mind me asking, what sin are you talking about and what has it done for you that makes you so unwilling to give it up? You seem to blame God for this situation you've ended up in, but really, it's the sin's fault. Has the sin ever brought you any good? Has it promised you eternal life? Did it send its son to die for you?

Praying for you.

Hey there all..i am doing better...as the light is shining on the dark..i could use help..in whatever way that may come..but i know i need some help..as right now i am really confused with alot that has happened..

alot of the problems i have been having come from dreams and visions..i have this spiritual gift..but satan knows i do too..know i dont know it all..but i know satan uses dreams to torment me and lie to me.as i am finding out..but i have been to affraid and to affraid to step out to challenge some dreams..as i have a fear of blasphemy and doing the unpardonable sin..as so i am affraid to test dreams to see if they are from God and His Spirit.to which has been used against me dramtically..but i know i have been shown what satan has been doing..there has been alot of evil spirits and satan himself decieving me pretending to be God..Jesus or Holy Spirit..to my own shame i have not been able to discern..because of my own persistent sin and my will and my fear

but what i am asking is for help..to win the battle in my dreams..as i have been battling this for a long time..satan has decieved me for so long in my times..lying to me.and leading me astray..which has caused me to hate and blaspheme God..and has lead me to make a mess of my life..the state i am in now..but i know the blame is on myself..not satan...satan decieved me..but it was me who believed

now i know God speaks to me in dreams..i know He does..i just need some help in some way to discern..as right now i am wondering about all my dreams i have had..i have this huge fear of blasphemy..that if i say a dream is from satan and but is from Holy Spirit..then i get accused to no end..and causes alot of torement..sigh

i just really dont believe i can think right..as right now i honestly think i am doing wrong by writting this.

but anyway..i am wondering of what i have heard in my dreams..i have followed them over the word..to which i know for some time i shouldnt be..but anyway..i could use help..as i know God does speak to me in dreams..but i know satan has too..i just want to know what God has shown me..

anyway it is hard for me to open up..has my fear and what has happened has caused my heart to close alot.it is hard to write..because of the fear of blasphemy.i am not lying

thanks for listening..God bless

"I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:" Revelation 2:2.

There is a difference between trying and blasphemy. Don't let evil spirits hold you captive. Try your dreams and I think you will find a rather large difference between that which is from God and that which is from the devil. Praying for you.
