Help! does god judge your diease?

[sickforjesus]

I have adhd so i usally act without thinking. and god says patience is important but i dont got much of that, but i have gotten more since i turned to god. with my seizures i get mood swings, so im happy for no reason and mean and angry for no reason. and with my autism it kills my social life, communication, and it makes it hard for thoughts to come up in my head. that not even half of it!

Im wondering if god judges me for sin and behaviors that are not under my control, i continue to think he made me like this but i fail to see

how i can contribute to the kingdom of god. if anybody can give me any advice it will help me ALOT!

[Joshua-777]

Sin is condemed to the flesh, even sin yoru not aware of, or have no control of. One thing thats impotant to realize is that we all fall short of the Glory of God, and we all sin, in my personal walk with the Lord, I have noticed He's always convicted me at a rate I can handle, Like when I was saved I struggled with drugs and sex, well The lord convicted me about drugs and after, sex, before cussing or movies I was watching. We are all sinners, and we all fall short of the Glory of God. To willingly sin separates you more than unrealizing your sinning. The best advice I can give you, change what you can. The more you grow with the Lord, and learn about his ways, the more you sumbit to him, and not submit to the desires of the flesh. Hang in there, and what sins you can't control, remember Christs blood set you free, not the law, but his grace.

God doesn't judge disease, He heals. I hope you are being monitored by a doctor so God can work through him/her to get you balanced and to help find a loving educator to help you learn skills with which to live by. My prayers are with you that our Father would see you healed an at a place where you can manage life and find peace and joy.

The Lord is the ONE who blesses. Just keep looking to him. It is amazing what all He will do as time goes along. Expect to do better in all areas. Enjoy the blessings that are already yours. God is the ONE who blesses and helps and cares. That is why He sent JESUS. So! May you be encouraged and set free more every day of your life.

My brother has epilepsy, he takes 4 different kinds of seizures, many times every day and I strongly suspect autism as well, but he is not diagnosed with autism. But God has used him in many ways. He writes many people, especially missionaries and encourages them in thier walk with God. He is also a prayer warrior.

God has made him who he is for his own reason, just like he made me who I am. He gives each of us our trials and our problems.

No one's life is perfect, there are many things about people who seem to have no problems that we don't know about. Just be open to let the Lord use you and you will feel better about your circumstances.

And yes, the Lord does heal.

I have epilepsy and can understand where you're coming from. It's hard to tell sometimes whether the things I'm going through are hormones, syndrome related, or side effects from the medications. Anti-convulsants have very diverse side-effects. I have problems concentrating, retaining information, mood swings, sleep disorders, changes in appetite, aggression (then changes to depression), just...you name it, it happens. I think you should stay in close contact with your doctor so he can monitor you behavior and side-effects. My family keeps a close watch on what I take and when I take it and also documents my behavior so that we can report it to the doctor. This helps him determine my dosage. It fluctuates from time to time. If you're a teenager, you're also growing and so it makes it a little more complicated to get the dosing just right.

With regards to God judging you, God is gracious. He understands what you're going through. You should'nt fear that He is going to judge you wrongfully, He is just. But at the same time, you are responsible for the choices that you make. You need to make every effort to have self-control and be disciplined. These are areas I struggle with personally. People like us have different challenges than others, but it doesn't give us an excuse for losing control or treating others badly. It means we have to work harder and rely on God's grace to get us through. It also means we need people around us who have extra grace and hold us accountable. It's hard, it's not easy or fun. But you never know how God will use you down the road to help someone who may be going through something similar. We are overcomers in Christ, we are not defeated. He doesn't give us anything that we cannot bear, we just have to press on and do the best that we can.

Hope this helps.

I also have epilepsy and bipolar symptoms that resulted from a traumatic brain injury suffered in '93. I attended a public elementary school and got in trouble almost evey day. In seventh grade, I became home-schooled. I didn't have as much trouble with anger issues, but had more trouble with depression, hopelessness, and feelings of guilt. While I believed God had given me my problems for a reason, I did not consciously trust Him to bring me out of my depression.

God has always been faithful to bring me through, though. In fact, from '03 to mid-'05, I had a very strong faith experience, a good social-life, and few problems with mood-swings. But then, I lost several important friends at church and quit going. My faith suffered. I did not believe God was good. My loss had impacted my faith, and when my seasonal mood-swing came, it spawned even more faithlessness. I ended up in trouble with the law and lost my apartment and was moved into a more intensive rehab program. It seemed my life was ending, and that my faith would never return. But all it takes is faith like a mustard seed. And now I see that God is trying to bring me back into the fold. I am the one sheep who was lost. I am the returning prodigal.

But that's not the point of this post. The point is that God judges the heart. Man may judge your bad behavior by arresting you or throwing you in prison. But God will only be worried about your heart. If the condition of your heart is causing sin, you will be prompted to correct your heart. If your actions spring not from a bad heart, but from a disease, you are only obligated to do what you can to correct your actions. You are still responsible for what you do, but you can expect to be judged by men for that stuff, and by God only for the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. See Heb 4:12, Prov. 23:7
