I just feel busy and overwhelmed with work and kids but after dealing with my mental issue I definitely feel I need to dig a bit deeper. I wanted to just pray and wait on God to tell me what to read. Is that OK? I really want it to apply to my life and what I'm going through now instead of just reading just anything. You know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that OK? I really want it to apply to my life and what I'm going through now instead of just reading just anything. You know? I can imagine with work, kids, shopping, cooking, cleaning etc everyday life can be overwhelming. May I suggest you read the Psalms & when you find a phrase about God, just meditate that throughout the day. eg. Psalm 1: 6. `the Lord knows the way of the righteous. ` God knows your busy life with all its responsibilities and He is with you throughout the day. Just keep thanking Him for your work, children, having food, being able to shop, clean etc. As your focus changes to thankfulness and realising that God is with you, then you will grow more confident and trust Him more. The relationship develops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so funny when I was at church last Sunday well before this one a lady that prayed for me told me to read Psalms as well so I guess I will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know? 1 Pet 5 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. This verse helped me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Figure of eighty The Epistle to the Romans is all about justification by faith, aka getting right with God. Chapters 3 and 5 contain some truly precious statements; and, for those who trust the work of Christ, Romans 8 is very assuring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to drive a lot and found it convenient to listen while driving. You can get the Bible on CD's or there are apps for your phone that will read to you. Bible Gateway is what I use on my android phone. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
