• 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.

Psalm 51 has always been the greatest psalm to me.  It would always bring reassurance to me, knowing that if David had committed adultery with Bathsheba, how much more if I have done so in my heart!  I even have wanted to, and kind of cited each word that King David said.  "Do not take away from me Your Holy Spirit," I once said, and again, "Give me a pure heart and a steadfast spirit, and teach me Your ways so that I may obey and teach sinners!"  I thank those who have kindly responded to me, and have encouraged me.

 

One of the main reasons why I feel like I cannot repent is because I am afraid to do what is good, if it is not from the heart, and I do not know if it is from the heart.  And if it's not from the heart, then it's all vain.  I wonder often if my heart has been made new, and I know that Christians struggle.  What Christian can say, "I have never struggled!  Life for me has been pleasant"?  But, only could he boast this, if it was from the Lord.  Yet, I know that those who are in Christ will struggle.  The servant is not greater than his Master, and if his Master went through trials, all the more for His servants!  Yet, I know that we suffer for the sake of Christ.  May I be reconciled!
