• 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.

Alot of times because of the intrusive thoughts, images and voice, I feel like God is far but scripture says He's closer than my very breath. This brings me comfort that I am not alone, I'm never alone and Jesus is right there seeing me through.

Yesterday, I got small from my Pastor who told me God asked him to call me. I cried and said "God asked for me?" I felt so loved by Him. I thought for sure that God may not want to talk to me anymore because of what I did and the intrusions don't help. It brings me comfort to know He still thinks of me and He still cares. Because of the intrusions, I feel somewhat disconnected but it's just lying to me.

I long for Him to speak to me personally. I heard this song on the radio this morning. I know this speaks of human relations but I thought of God when I heard it. I thought of being with Him in heaven - my dream come true. Somewhere out there, He's thinking of me. Some of the lyrics aren't really relevant to God but i still like the song. :)

God does speak to you, the question is are you listening.

I meant I want to hear Him personally. Not to become a prophet or anything. He is my constant companion. I want to hear Him and befriend Him. I want to hear Him when I'm driving down the road or when I'm disciplining my children or when I'm trying to decide how to do my budget.

Me too, I really want to hear his voice likes other Christian at my church. That would really help me to walk in his path and make great decision.
A lot of people said it’s in our heart or likes the idea that comes up so intense in our mind. I just on the way learning to classify it. A lot of people told that He talking to us in our mind. But we just don’t know that those thought from god. And I believe that. So, I think god talking to you now,But you just don’t know it from god. I want to hear his voice too.

Absolutely, God can talk with us in many different way. Somethings that you feel likes it’s a coincidence because it so related to your life. It might come from god too.

Get real God does not chatter or gossip or talk to people.
If you want to hear him get an audiobook of the bible or listen to sermons from preachers like Martin Lloyd Jones.

Only the clinically insane talk with God, we are able to pray to him.

Many Christians experience God communicating with them personally as they grow closer to him. There is evidence for this with believers all throughout the bible. We see this in the new testament also with the Holy Spirit communicating with believers in various ways.

Acts 16:6

6 Now they passed through the territory of Phrygia and Galatia, after being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in [the west coast province of] Asia [Minor];​

If you believe that then you will have to get as close to God as they were.
