My ex boyfriend introduced me to the church I go to when we first started dating. I've been going since March of 2022. I've even become a member of the church--this happened a week before we broke up. I've still been going to church, ever since we broke up this past May (we broke up May 13...
I tend to wake up in the morning, have a few seconds of peace, and then BAM, I start worrying and ruminating about something. It's enough to make me nauseous and I don't want to get out of bed and go to work--in fact, I had to stop writing this post and run to the bathroom because I nearly threw...
I'm constantly worried about flaws and imperfections in my boyfriend of 2 months. Every week I have something new to obsess over. "What about this thing, what about that?" I'm bouncing around his different issues--many of which he's willing to talk about and make changes on, especially the...
My family is in need of prayers and a miracle. My paycheck this week was just enough for rent (I pay $325/WEEK!). I have car insurance due, gas in the car (almost on E), few other bills (including two months of a phone bill so if I don’t answer that’s why). I’m in need of a miracle. I can’t get...
Hello all, I just wanted to ask for renewed prayer. My sickness is progressing and doctors still dont know what is going on with me. Please pray for my healing and for God to give me His peace because I am very scared all the time and this is making me question His existence completely. And I...
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 3:2-3 When the things of this world press against us, we who are in Christ need to remember these words and the meaning behind these words. If we do, we will find...
Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.” Matthew 6:25 He was speaking to those who are His disciples, He truly does not want us to worry about the things we cannot control and yet need here in this...
So we can all agree this has certainly been a year that has laid a lot on us and been quite the challenge mentally physically and spiritually. There have been so many things to hit us hard. In the US we of course have our up in coming election that really could pivot the way our country goes...
I wanted to make this post because it is about something that I often struggle with. Managing my anxiety, especially around deadlines and during stressful situations. 2020 has only made things worse, and recently I've been feeling like I was approaching my breaking point. Today I felt so...
An Original Work / March 31, 2020
Ring those bells
Call the congregation
We will soon
Have a jubilation
Tell the truth
And, listen to it well
Sit ye down
And listen for a spell
God has called
His people to Him now
To know Him
And at His feet to bow
Changing times
Have people in a whirl...
I’ve been questioning if I have been really born again at all lately. When I converted my freshman year and had genuine positive change / fruit / felt connected to God in my life, I still justified and defended homosexuality (saying it wasn’t a sin, but there was mistranslation issues) without...
My head aches from this stuff.
This is something that’s been making me really anxious lately. I’ve been bawling my eyes out over it and it is one of the main things making me question my salvation and standing with God.
I’m terrified by end time theology. In the last few months, I’ve been...
Going through some very rough times spiritually right now. I'm filled with fear and worry. There are multiple reasons:
I have lived in a certain sin (homosexual identity / desire) for so long, deceived by false teaching regarding it (was convicted before, but was in denial because I kept...
Don’t be anxious about anything.
This passage is so much easier to believe in when it’s just life. Life happens, no one can help it. Hardships, challenges, issues, etc. When life happens, don’t be anxious, present your requests to God.
But what if you’re the cause of the anxiety?
Recently...
Hello All,
Please pray for my pastor's son - and the whole family. His son is having surgery Wednesday. Please pray he will have a quick recovery, and that God will provide financially for his surgery. My pastor and his family have done so much for the church, and I hate to see them facing...
Do you ever feel afraid? Do you ever begin to feel anxious over circumstances in your life? Do you ever get trapped in the “What ifs”? When someone does or says something to hurt you, do you worry about the repercussions? Do you fear what he or she might do next?
Do you fear what someone might...
Hi all,
I am new to online forums, but my friend and I are starting up a ministry called Bought At A Price and are looking for input from Christians about the lives they lead, especially concerning the health of your body, mind, and life in the Holy Spirit. I’m here to listen as much as I can...
Hello All,
I have severe gum recession for my age. So far I have had two surgeries to treat it, and I need two more surgeries this year.
I have dental insurance and so far I have been able to pay the out-of-pocket costs (thank God!). Yet when I look in the mirror I can see the problem getting...
So, four days ago the Lord Jesus led me to begin to write a new song. Now, that is not a simple task, even for a song that is home recorded, or especially for a song that is amateurishly home recorded, whatever the case may be. For, this one took four days to write from beginning to end.
I am...
