• 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.

Non of the above.

What gives me peace of mind is the knowledge that inspite of all that I am, I am valued and loved by the Creator of All things, that his love for me extends to being willing to forgive me my sins, my failures and his love is so great that he has adopted me into his family.

I find great solace in the fact that He is faithful and just. When everything has been done, and there is nothing I can do, He will be true and faithful. I rely on Him. No matter what happens, He will be there. Death is the worse that can happen, but He will be there waiting for me.

Contemplative prayer (or "Recollection" as the Medieval contemplatives called it) and regular use of the Jesus Prayer have done more to give me the peace of Christ than any other spiritual practice I have used. Fasting is good, but without prayer it's just a diet. These practices have centuries of precedent but most Christians pay them no attention.

The outdoors helps me unwind and destress. I find peace and calmness in the stillness of nature. Prior to moving last summer i went on many walks down a trail in which I was the only person around. It felt satisfying. The whole place was still, and yet here I was, walking through, without a peep or a whisper, just me, myself, and I.

Praying for help, chamomile tea, music, and journaling to find the cause of the anxiety.
I practice confessing the word. I am what He says I am. I have what He says I have. I do what He says I do.

Philippians 4:6-9 KJV
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:
and the God of peace shall be with you.

May the Lord forgive me if I sing it in English, as that is easier for me to remember.
