May God comfort youI am sad
Please pray for a family from our church body. They loss two boys (12 and 16 years old) in a construction accident a few days ago, and the funeral is this Tuesday. I posted it in the prayer section of the forum. Their father was injured as well, but is doing better.
I saw the post you referenced. I’m sorry for your loss. How are they doing? What about you? Any felt needs that should be lifted up?
Thank you for your abundant wisdom bella.I’m sorry you’re hurting and pray for healing and peace on your behalf. The three things you mentioned are all related: alcohol, loneliness and anxiety. They’re fueling one another. The only way to resolve it is to deal with the strongman.
You have to pray against rejection. That was the catalyst for the sorrow and loneliness. Which exacerbates anxiety and lead to coping mechanisms to silence the hurt.
You begin with forgiveness and must forgive everyone who hurt and abandoned you. Every single person. You cannot break the hold spiritually without doing.
Then follow with confession. Pour out your heart about those experiences and the things you’ve held onto and ask for forgiveness and repent for your wrongs and unforgiveness related to your experiences and coping mechanisms.
Then rebuke rejection, unforgiveness, bitterness, addiction, heaviness, obsessive and compulsive spirits, lust and loneliness. In that order in Jesus’s name.
Ask the Lord to remove them and all helper spirits and for a fresh infilling of his presence. Fill that space with love. Pray 1 Corinthians 12 aloud for 90 days without ceasing. Every day.
You’ll begin to loosen things in the spirit realm. Start sleeping with the word in the background. Use an audio bible or find one on YouTube. It ministers to your spirit while you rest. You’ll feel lighter when you wake.
Keep doing it for the rest of the year. You need to saturate yourself and your environment. Spiritual bondage has an impact on your home. The air is thicker. But it will change as things fall away.
If you do as I suggest you’ll break it. Talk with the chaplains here as well. You need accountability and a trusted ear to share your burdens.
Keep your eyes fixed on God. Not on your problems or lack. Start your day with the word and end it the same. You’ll overcome this. It seems unlikely now but its not the end.
Start praying the divine office. Morning or evening are best. You’ll learn a lot of scripture by doing so. Always pray aloud.
Sounds like you have some kind of plan in the works and know the direction that you want to take. That's important.I’d like something seasonal if possible. The body’s needs change as the year unfolds. I’ve been working on it off and on. I’m reluctant to tier meals to a specific day. Like meatless Monday. It puts you in a box.

Congratulations! Well done. You mentioned starting something else when it ends. Are your plans still the same?
That's amazing brother! Congrats! (Sorry I missed this earlier)
I'm glad that it turned out well and I pray that you can get the ketchup time and rest that you need.

I totally get that. I actually have a meal prep book I have to crack open from the library yet. I also come on the last couple years eat a whole lot less, and can go without eating more. But I've also suffered it when I've been running.
Also I think at our age we are better at communicating not only how you feel about another person emotionally, but even physically. I can say in the past that there are guys that I dated that I didn't even consider touching.
We just are going to have to figure out how we can distance ourselves from each other... It's crucial at this stage since it's early. It's much harder later.
In the meantime, I have backup plans. The skills that I brought to the last project were largely acquired by working on my own. I may also take a class or two. Either way, I plan to use the time for personal development.
Donate some donuts..... to meFeeling the urge to donate stuff; Hmm, I wonder if I even have anything.
