    Prayers for mental health, work stress, and martial stress

    Hello everyone, I have OCD where I keep having repetitive thoughts and I can't help it. I was going to therapy up until just recently and will be starting ERP therapy in June to help with my OCD when I get on my husband's insurance. Previously he wouldn't stop talking to one of my best friends...

    In Heaven we have a choice: the old Gospel (those before us) or the new Gospel (those after us)?

    Hi there, So I realised that in Heaven, we enjoy the Gospel, more than we enjoy Heaven and I knew that when we get to the end of our life, we get a choice (we had a choice before we were born, we have a choice in life - to believe in Jesus - and we get a choice in death, where our soul will...

    He that has the blade, does not train to be obstreperous (selah)

    Hi there, So this is going to be step by step, ok? I want you to assess where you stand on the idea that there is a right way to wield a blade. The claim is this: he that has the blade, does not train to be obstreperous. In other words, the efficacy of the blade, is better trained to cut than...

    I can’t support the Ukrainian Government any longer, even though Putin was wrong to invade

    Ukraine's Zelenskyy addresses Congress, invokes 9/11, Pearl Harbor, MLK as he pleads for pivotal aid Note that Fox News has been consistently pro Ukraine, and I am citing their story because it is easy to read. Zelenskyy addressed the US congress in protest at our correct decision not to...

    "The Solution for the Russian/Ukrainian War". An Approach of Love

    The conflict in Ukraine is sad for me. Russians and Ukrainians are brothers with a long close history and culture. The Ukrainian Anthem calls Ukrainians members of the "Cossack Generation", and Cossacks are both Russian and Ukrainian. The Don and Kuban Cossacks are two of the most famous, and...

    Honest question: how do we become less knowing, without becoming more questioning?

    Hi there, So this is evidently a question about faith. I do not mean to add question to question. My intent is to have faith, despite people having "questions". People ask questions, but when they receive the knowledge the ask, if they ask in vain, they simply come up with more questions. As a...

    He Found no Chance to Repent

    Hebrews 12:12-17 ESV “Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.

    Whose Mind is Stayed on Him

    Isaiah 26:1-3 ESV “In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: ‘We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks. Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you...

    The Holy Spirit: expanded remembrance (many memories), or greater detail in recall?

    Hi there, So just to get your cogs moving: the remembrance or recall of the Holy Spirit, which is it? Does the Holy Spirit embrace many memories, or does He focus on greater detail within a specific memory? My understanding is that we have to seek Him to chose, on His terms - if He wants it to...

    Please pray for my mother

    I don't have the mental strength to write a long post explaining everything. My mother needs a physical miracle. Life can be pure torture. I'm so tired of being sad and in pain. I'm in desperate need of a physical miracle, but my mother's need is more important. GOD please help her. In Jesus name

    Do We Have Compassionate Hearts?

    Compassion and Kindness Colossians 3:12-13 ESV “Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you...

    Making peace with forums

    Here to make peace with online forums. Forums to me can be problematic, however I live for every problem there is a solution. I live with unique circumstances, that make it impossible for me to be part of any community. However it does allow me to connect with God and also focus on my home and...

    I declare that the nation of Israel, has begun to prosper under YHVH - struggles to follow

    Hi there, So I have been keeping an eye on the watch of Israel and its allies and in the glimmering of a glimpse of the Spirit of Israel, I have begun to witness a prospering of the nation. The enemy no longer knows what manner of war he is waiting for, and has begun to succumb to his...

    My Whole Being Rejoices

    Psalms 16:4-6 ESV “The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. “The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places...

    Works continue, long after faith is gone (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a painfully obvious point to make, in the manner that James spoke of about showing his faith by his works (from memory, James): In other words, we do not get to Heaven by works, but that does not change the fact that the faith (at least for the faith of its own sake) will...

    My Comfort in Affliction

    Your Promise Gives me Life Psalm 119:49-50 ESV “Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.” When we are going through trials, things which test our faith, things which cause pain and...

    We Will Have Tribulation

    Jesus said “These Things” John 16:33 ESV Jesus Christ said this: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” So, what are “these things” he said to them? He told them that if the world...

    Wisdom from Above or Below?

    By Your Good Conduct James 3:13 ESV “Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.” There are a lot of professing Christians today teaching that, as followers of Jeus Christ, we are to have no works. But is that what the...
