• 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've been really stressed lately. I've been worrying alot, and that's not a good thing. I just really wish I could find comfort and peace. I know God has those. And I've been trying to run to him. But it's still hard. And I still feel afraid. I'm working on repairing a broken friendship right now. And it's really hard with this person because he takes alot of things the wrong way. And i fear that I may have said something wrong and now he isnt talking to me again. Please pray that I find comfort. I'm just... hurting... and stressed out. And I don't want to cut anymore.

-Jo.

Romans 11:36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Ephesians 1:5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

2 Thessalonians 2:12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.


i saw a baby today, she was round and bubbly, blond curls and big gray eyes. she had a few little teeth poking up, and was taking her chubby fingers and BLAH.. BLAH.. BLAHing her bottom lip. it was funny and cute. i felt a marvelous and perfect joy swell up in my mommy heart. what a "little angel" i said.
later, having a tough day, my hubby came up and massaged my shoulders and fed me some milk chocolate. i realized that my husband is made for me. he loves me, cares for me, finds pleasure in me. i realized that we all have a place and bring joy to one another... fellowship, joy, blessings. these scriptures came to my mind; and i remembered that adorable baby.
God sees us this way. we bring Him joy. all joy is from Him in creation. and He desires joy for us all. so ofcourse He is the king of glory.

so all the good God is. all the love He brought to us, and the price Christ paid for us. God created us, and calls us the first fruits of His creation... His children..... and He has made Himself everything to us... King, Father, God, Friend, Savior; all of these things give glory and joy.


hey jo~ !!
