I'm trying to get closer to God. I have been trying for years, some times it feels as if I have made very little progress, while other times I think I might be on the right path. It can be so very confusing. I'm also trying to figure out what it is I want to do with my life. I want to live a full life of joy and happiness. As well as really get to know who Jesus, and God are. Please pray for me that I may find the right path God wants me on.

I AM ALWAYS WANTING TO BE SOMEONE I AM NOT--ALWAYS COMPARING MY LIFE WITH SOMEONE ELSES-DEPRESSION TAKES OVER IN MY MIND AND BODY- AT ONE POINT I WANTED TO HURT MYSELF AND END IT ALL--NOW WITH THE HELP FROM GOD AND MY FAMILY I CALL UPON GOD DAILY TO GIVE ME STRENGTH TO BE THE PERSON HE CREATED ME TO BE--THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING AN EVERLOVING AND FORGIVING GOD

I am deeply depressed & recently started cutting myself. Not deep...just on the surface, I worry I will get worse though. I am not crazy & I am not suicidal I want to live, I have a beautiful daughter & husband I could never leave them, but there are days where I truly feel dead to this world... I used to think that people who cut themselves were freaks, or people with mental problems... I thought why on earth would someone want to inflict pain on themselves. I still dont completely understand it, but the cutting helps me feel more alive when I can feel nothing. Everyone from my old life is in another state so I have no one to talk to anymore except God. I cannot tell my husband how I feel because he will blame himself for us moving here. I do not want that he is an amazing husband who works hard for his family, so I just do my best to pretend I'm happy. I know I need God in my life, but I have strayed so far from him that I dont even know where to start. I just feel completely traped & hopeless in this world... like I have no control over anything that happens in my life & I refuse to see a therapist because they will just prescibe me antidepressants.... people dont understand the dangers of antidepressants, they really do more harm than good. I just need Jesus really bad

I AM HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH A MARRIED MAN. I DONT KNOW HOW IT GOT TO THIS POINT BECAUSE I DO LOVE MY HUSBAND BUT I AM ALSO IN LOVE WITH THE OTHER MAN. I AM SO ASHAMED & I KNOW GOD KNOWS WHAT I AM DOING. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CALL IT OFF BUT IT HASNT WORKED. I DO KNOW IN MY HEART THERE IS NOTHING ION THIS EARTH THAT I WOULD WANT TO KEEP ME OUT OF HEAVEN. I HAVE BEEN A BACKSLIDER BEFORE & i KNOW THIS ISNT WHERE I AM HAPPY SO I DONT UNDERSTAND IF GOD KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO SCREW UP OUR WHOLE LIFE WHY LET US BE BORN SO WE WOULD HAVE TO LOSE THE BATTLE? CONFUNSED AS USUAL....

I need to learn how to give my problems over to God and have him help me along. I don't know how to listen for the answers from him. I am struggling with a horrible addiction to pain killers. Before my dr refilled my meds today, I was going through really bad  withdrawl symptoms. I was yelling at everyone, I felt horrible. I haven't slept in 2 days. I have tried to justify getting more of them for the last time. My husband tells me that I am stronger than the medicine, but I don't feel like I am on days like this. He tells me to pray when the symptoms get bad, but so far, I haven't . i don't know how to handle this on my own, but I know I want to stop. God  has done so many good things for me, why can't I give this one to him as well?

Wish I could forget about things that I cannot change...and look to the positive things that I can be apart of...why is it in our nature to want "acceptance" from everyone!! Sometimes human nature stinks, ya know!!!

I've ran from God for way too long because of the shame I felt from my struggle with sexual addiction.  As a Christian, I felt it was too shameful to admit my struggle to anyone and I was better off keeping it to myself.  I struggled with looking at pornography a couple of times a week and hated the guilt I felt from doing so.  The fantasy of it all led me to having an affair on my wife, which was something I never thought I would do.

My addiction hindered me from serving God, because the closer I got to Him, the more conviction and shame I felt, so I just turned and ran because I was too afraid to ask for help.

The good news is, now I have found help.  You don't have to be alone or ashamed of it.  I've saved my marriage by finally telling the truth and reaching out to others for help.

You're not alone.  They won't judge you.  There are others who share in your pain and struggles and the freedom that comes by getting help is amazing and worth every bit of it.

I am one.  You're not alone.

God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to recieve salvation through our Lord~  I love this, it is my affirmation when I have issues...!

i need to quit living for me and start living for God!

doing something about watching porn today i finally reached out thank u JESUS for caring

everything needs to change. im working on it in a slow but forward process. 1. i am 24, i have dealt with severe anorexia and bulimia since childhood..in and out of hospitals and therapist & dr. offices and i am still struggling 12+ yrs later. Im so tired of it and i feel so powerless and hopeless. Its actually quite terrible right now. Depression, anxiety, isolating myself from reality, self harm, past sexual assault...my insides hurt physically and emotionally and i feel like they will never ever stop SCREAMING.

For nearly the past two years I have been going through a lot and now I know I need to make changes in my life. I quit my job due to I couldn't bear the pain in my feet after just standing on them for a few hours. I separated from my husband in June and am not sure how the divorce will be when that time comes.

I have accepted Jesus into my heart but I don't know how to pray and ask God to take all my problems and worries. I know he will bless me with a job and everything I need in my life in time. I am around people who I feel don't support me. I need to be around those who will not judge me because of my past.

I need to learn how to pray better.  I also have a meeting in Dallas tomorrow to see if I get my job back.  Please pray for me that they give it back to me

I need to change careers.  I am finding myself really not enjoying going to work.  This is first time I have really ever felt this way.

I need to stop fighting God. I feel I have been called into missions, and have been running from this for years. I have tried to run my life my way and now I am alone. My husband left me a couple of months ago and i am left to raise two small children alone. I desperately want companionship, but am afraid that it will end the same. I am afraid to trust God, because I feel like He didn't protect me in the past from my abusive mother. Why do I search for something better and fight God with everything good He wants for my life?

I need to seek God more.  My life has really been a roller coaster for about 15 years.  I'm on my third marriage, I'm 33 years old with no children, can't have children. I was molested as a young girl, and I cannot get it out of my mind.  i believe that the abuse i suffered has taken over my life. I only trust my father not my husband, why? I should trust my husband, but something scares me, and i can't make myself.  God is bigger than anything and I have faith to give him my problems, but I really need my husband.  He is all I have. I have faith that God will help me and show me how to make my marriage work.

My life IS changing.  Now, I have to learn not to fight the changes; how to be excited with my new endeavors, and, how not to be afraid of what the future may hold for me.  I don't want to be consumed with thoughts of what might happen. Only God knows what lies ahead.  I am not in control of the situation.  He is.  I need to let go, in faith. I need to relax, and allow his plan for me, and my family, to unfold.

I would love to be in a Godly relationship with a woman with whom I share Jesus with and have things in common with..ie..lifestyle, leisure etc.  Most of my friends are either married or in relationships that are going somewhere.  I would love to have a family of my own. 

I feel so lonely for companionship that I cry alot of nights when I get still and quiet and pray to God for Him to send someone my way.  I am divorced and have been waiting many years.  I have made some bad mistakes in the past and have learned from those.  I want to do things Gods way instead of the loosers way.  I pray for peace. 

I wish that God would tell me to continue to wait and that the right person is on the way or that I should just accept that fact that single life is my continuing destiny.  I am really struggling with issue because I know I could take the easy way out and settle for someone who is NOT Godly and doesn't love the Lord.  Help me!!!

I need to stop coveting other women's husbands and let go of the envy that they have a companion and I am forced to live my life alone. I have to remember that I am not alone and that God needs me to be single right now for a reason. I need to stop believing the lie that a man's love is better or more valuable than God's love. I accept that I am not ready for a relationship, spiritually, but I need my relationship with God to overwhelm my life so that my loneliness is not a gaping wound in my life.

I am still in love with my old high school flame. After 5 years of marriage (to a different man) and 2 children, I can't help but to think that I did not marry my heart longs for.
