Figure of eighty

Yeah that is true he heals through many means. Sometimes I feel I don't deserve to be free ...sometimes I kind of feel it's impossible because I feel Ike in life we have troubles and I feel it's a cross to carry sometimes..I don't know But thanks for your response.

I ask because I'm having a hard time with my anxiety to the point I contemplate medication. I know some may see it as a lack of faith but I feel unless you have a mental illness or cared for someone with one..you won't understand. It's not imo So..I'm just wondering those with heavy mental illness( bipolar, schizophrenia, OCD) How do you still follow God? How did you reconcile faith despite using medication ? And I hope this thread isn't offensive or against any rules.. I really don't want it deleted as I'm looking for answers. My illness keeps me from pursuing my dream, worries me about living alone because I'm afraid I'll probably lose it if I do. It's just really bad right now. I'd love to hear from people going through the same thing as I am.

This is just from my experience. Every pastor Ive seen is almost always married and blessed with a lot of children. Why aren't their more single pastors in the fore front / known about. Even at my church they have a little booklet introducing pastors,deacons and evangelists...ECT. And they too are married and with children. Are single, childless pastors an anomaly? Why aren't they seen more? Just something I noticed.

This is interesting.

Or maybe there isn't anything for me to do besides reading,praying and going to church...that's the only thing I can take the silence to mean. I really don't know.

Because I don't know what God wants me to do if nothing is said... Do you know what I mean?

Also how many times do have to pray for God to guide me and to lead me and ask what His will for my life is...because I ask but I just get silence... So I just do what I know to do *shrugs*

This confused me. I feel God wants us to be all the same honestly...and that's simply like his son.

Oh. I thought it meant literal talent.

For example. I'm an artist meaning I illustrate and paint...however I work so much and so hard( going 5o get a second job soon) just to live in 5his society... That I can't draw like I want 5o.. Also since I struggle with anxiety that also keeps me from drawing sometimes... It bothers me as it's me dream but due to these stressors I find my passion for art waning. I still love it but I don't have the passion I used to. Another example is a coworker who's a gifted singer. She has children and also works super hard so she doesn't do much with her talent either... Do you think God would be disappointed in us?

I have no iissuess. With restaurants... It's just church Because everyone else is paired off and happy and I feel some probably look at me with pity bc I'm by myself.

Yeah I go most places alone too.

I still feel alone and like I stick out. I may just look at sermons online and read by myself.

I do and it's kind of uncomfortable. Everyone there is happy and married with families. I think I may just do online sermons on Sundays... For those that go to church alone how do you deal with it?

Im honestly hoping we forget this world and all the emotional and physical pain being here has inflicted upon us. I definitely don't want to remember being here.

Um yes of course he did And the way we look pleases him . Ugliness in my opinion doesn't exist... We're all beautiful to someone but we're all beautiful to God.

lol it does suck to be them.

I will pray

A life of prayer or serving him while single? It's something I thought about when it comes to my life. I don't like being single.. definitely have a desire to marry.... But my perpetual singleness makes me reflect to think Maybe God wants me to serve him through a life of prayer. Idk

yep. I'm lonely but I'm really happy I at the very least have my boyfriend. So I won't be lonely for too much longer-- that in itself is a gift.

I agree with you OP. I think this is another one of those hard truths to swallow. I feel God has a basic concern for everyone like everyone has a certain amount of grace but some are extended more grace. Just my opinion.

What's the Torah? And the second part is true. Either you go to heaven or hell after death.

What other lies are there?

This makes sense to me. We probably did choose these lives with their particular struggle to build a certain aspect within us.

I know the main issue is. Worshipping Mary.. But despite. That I know there are some very devout Catholics who take their faith seriously. Will misplaced prayer keep them from a deep relationship with God?
