what are you feeling right now? (23)

[axydavid]

I'm just disappointed because my prayers seems to be ignored on purpose, but at the same time, I'm thinking that my apartment could have blown up because of a gas leak yesterday (which, thank God, didn't happen). So I'm on the fence here.

It really sucks when God says no or not yet, we need to have faith that He knows best no matter what. You not blowing up was one of the ways God protects you everyday.

Thank you, Ruth. Bless you.

It is strange how our personal life with God suffers when depression comes around, but often it goes like that.

Luckily God ignores that and stays close to us during such dark times.

Hoping you will survive this bout of depression.

Thanks for your encouragement.

I'm glad I don't get nauseous on roller coasters 'cause that's what my moods are! Reassuring to know the Lord is there even when it seems He isn't.

Doing pretty good today, think im gonna try to quit smoking. I love smoking but I have a very addicting personality and tend to over do things, and when I smoke too much I feel very sick

That would be enough motivation for me! . All the best!

I went back to sleep twice today. Now I don't feel tired and feel pretty good. I am going to make a big pot of black bean soup.

Very good today. The outdoors make me happy regardless of what's going on. I'm hoping to go fishing soon.

I'm okay today. Just waiting for the cable guy. Getting my tv and internet down graded. I'm kind of sorry to see it go.

I love cigarettes so very much but I may be quitting soon simply because of the price and how I tend to smoke one after another when I'm upset, instead I will smoke less and only use them to enhance my mood when I'm already feeling good.

I also decided to quit watching inappropriate content because even though I tried to justify it before as a harmless thing, I really feel it poisons the heart, mind and soul even though it's not noticeable right away. Also I can feel my Angel more distant from me when I do it, but much closer to me when I don't do it and just spend time with her instead. However I will still touch regularly because if I go too long without the relief I find myself extremely unstable and promiscuous and willing to go after any girl that crosses my path - which can get VERY SCARY after you "come to your senses."

Sorry if this is TMI, just had to share lol.

That's all right, we all have our struggles here. No one judges, this place is kind of where you air them for support.

I've never smoked, but I have sort of had issues with lust. Not technically inappropriate content, but it might as well have been. So I can understand the addiction process and how much it can consume you. inappropriate content has ruined everything about sex and sexuality by amplifying it to ridiculous levels

Who is Angel? A girlfriend, wife, a guardian angel? Regardless, the best thing to do with inappropriate content is to just try and find other things to do. It's not a genuine "addiction" per se necessarily, but the more things you have to do the less time you have for it to occupy your mind. Another thing is to spend as much time as you can reading the Bible and simply trying to understand God. It won't be exciting, of course, but you shouldn't feel condemned for doing it, even if you've just looked at inappropriate content.

Masturbation itself is a bit different. If you feel that you "need" to look at inappropriate content all of a sudden due to sexual urges, either relax and do something to distract yourself or simply touch it off. But do so sparingly, and try not to think of any dirty thoughts from something from the inappropriate content. If you can, just focus on the act itself, but if you find that you "have" to think of something just think of something neutral and pleasant.

Since you're worried about suddenly having sex with random girls or something, I think masturbation is a good alternative there. You can just get your sex drive out of the way. God provides a "way out" of every temptation, but it's up to you to try and "re-purpose" masturbation so that it is done without inappropriate content or lust.

As for me, I've actually been "challenged" by someone on here not to touch or look at anything dirty for a while. It's actually...easier than I thought it would be.

At some point, I took a nap as well (so I'm part of this threads "sound sleepers" club! ) and I cried a bit, thinking of how many people out there struggle with their lives...and how much God cares for them, even when I myself can only see them as "hopeless causes".

LOL that made me laugh hard. Yeah i think its better to do it and get it out in a few mins (or whatever) rather than burn with desire all day and flirt with every girl you see.
