Q: Honestly, I am this close to giving up on everything. Not life, just this whole Jesus journey. He is not listening to me, and I have tried everything. Life is just constant torment and annoyance, I am SO TIRED of being broke and hating myself and the way I look. Joy is not something that comes easy for me, with all my trauma. Not to mention I am so tired of my brain attacking me all the time. If God was so "perfect" why did he make mental illness, and why are we expected to deal with it when our own BRAINS that he CREATED malfunction? I think I am done with religion. Its good to get rid of religion. By that I mean a belief people/you've made up. It sounds like either someone decieved you with a false gospel or you misunderstood, or never understood Christianity.  There is no blessing nor grace in life or eternity without YHWH.  The world is Fallen thus full of suffering. God uses all things (whichever comes into your life either directed or allowed) to strengthen your ...

Q:  I’ve been praying as this particular issue I’ve been dealing with for a long time but just wanted to hear from other ladies their insight on what they would do in the situation because if I speak out, I’m shut down and called a nag. My husband likes to job hop. Recently he quit a job and told me he had a job offer for another job lined up but it wasn’t true. He quit because he wasn’t happy with the job. Just a bit of back story, I’ve been paying majority of the bills for years as he doesn’t sustain a job. It got so bad that my previous apartment we lived in, i broke the lease and moved back in with my parents and kids because of his lack of contribution. I originally had left because he was cheating but anyways, I thought he was a changed man and by no means is anyone perfect but we are in our own place again at the second home and he quit few weeks back and it’s a repetitive cycle. This time he says he only wants a work from home job, but that can take quite some time to find,...

I’m 36, single, never married. I have prayed and cried about this for 2 years. I still can’t move on.  When I met the love of my life 3 yrs ago I’d never connected with anyone like I have him. I swore I was gonna marry him. He was in the military and then got orders to move overseas for 3 years. The plan was for me to stay in the US for 1 year and (last year) i'd move to be with him. A week after he got overseas... he ended things with me. He had just purchased a ring for me a month prior. He admitted he just wanted to be single and free. I was devastated.  2 yrs later I still haven’t found anyone. I still cry and miss him. He & I still keep in touch and text on occasion. We went about 8 months no contact. Lately we’ve been texting pretty regularly.  I still believe he’s my soul mate. I still believe in my heart that he & I are going to end up together. Why would God put someone so perfect in my life just to take him away?  There are days where I really miss ...

Q: My spouse says he believes in God but not the Bible itself (because he says it’s man written). I tried to explain about it being inspired and the Word of God.  In some areas of conversation he agrees but also doesnt believe other things in the Bible. We have been having religious discussion for 3 days now. He had asked where Hell is. He starts in on how do I not know and that it’s in the center of the earth. I said yes some people do think that because it’s the hottest. I said but I am not God, yet Scripture seems to say it is below. Wherever it is, it is. That made him mad because I just don’t say yes you’re right. At some point he stated he’s not a sinner. I explained the Bible says we all are sinners, and that is why Jesus Christ came for us. So now he keeps saying I calling him a sinner. I say it’s not true because the Bible says we are sinners and it speaks the truth. He is upset that I don’t agree with him. He doesn’t want to be with me and has gotta so angry that he tr...
