“Drink, and Thou wilt never thirst.”

I'm not the best believer, but I at least know in my head that prayer works. I am a bit depressed right now. A friend of mine that I am practically family with and I have strong feelings for just told me something that I am really torn up over. It has soured my outlook and I am starting to fall back into some bad habits to cope. Please pray for me.

I will @Zattmann - 저남자 everything will be ok.

Thank you

@Zattmann - 저남자 You’ll be in my prayers, as well. ❤️🙏

Sorry to hear you’re going through that.

Thank you @Al <3

Of course, @Zattmann - 저남자 . It’ll be okay.. there’s always calm after the storm; just hold tight to your faith and trust that that good Lord has gotta plan ☺️

I try. And hearing incouragement from others really helps. It wouldn't be so hard if I didn't have my feelings involved. I usually don't, but I did this time. This is the first time I have actually asked someone to pray for me. I usually swallow my problems, but I knew that if I let myself go this time I might really mess up.

I’m sorry to hear that.. I’m glad you’ve reached out for help, however.. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m happy to lend an ear @Zattmann - 저남자

Or encouragement, or prayers.. whatever you may need, just give a holler and I’m happy to help ya get through this any way I can. ☺️

Thank you @Al <3. It means a lot.

Of course.. Happy to help @Zattmann - 저남자

God’s got this.. just lay it at His feet. You’re precious and loved. Don’t ever forget that.

Praying for you @Zattmann - 저남자 🙏

Thank you

After 3 combat tours in Iraq, I have come to the inescapable conclusion that I-sham is a cult of death and oppression. It is a fake religion, to a fake god and a false pedophilic prophet. So many of these "good muslims" would have you believing that they are so pious and holy, but would then turn right around and decapitate you as an "infidel" for not bowing to their fake god and prophet. The whole thing is a hypocritical joke. The savagery and atrocities I saw committed in the name of this fake religion are beyond description.

I created this prayer that I encourage everyone of all religions to take the time to pray (even tho most people are christians, many are still not awakened to the Lord's love)

"Dear Lord almighty God may you shine thy mercy on Donald Trump and give America your everlasting grace that you give us, even when we do not deserve it as fools and sinners. You are righteous and holy, and you watch over the world in our doings. You give your love and mercy to all, and we ask O Lord that you may give us hope for victory, so we can lead an America in your perfect name. We are damned, however you are merciful and just. Dear St. Rita of Cascia, you have bared a lot of pain and conflict due to political climates during your life, soon resulting in the death of your husband, however you were so faithful to God and His only begotton son Jesus Christ that you're children were saved and managed to create peace throughout Italy, and we ask that no matter who wins, people will know that God is still king and we must love one another. Dear holy and awesome God, we ask this all through you and your grace, and in your name we pray. Amen."

"and then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another." This describes these days to a T

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."

> "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
@TheTexanPlays i remember these quotes. it reminds me of nations falling, and how people will bring death on earth

"families rebel against each other, brother shall hate brother, so on and so on"

Mark of the Beast

yep

gen z and others must learn to defend and rebel for our values and God's glory, which has been happening already

I'm Generation X

Made by me. Keep it up lads, we got this!

And yes, I've done research and no, the Bible does not condone homosexuality. The original translation says that man shall not lie down with man as he does a woman.

It's pretty blatant regardless of what version you read and honestly, as someone who struggles with it, it's not as if I have any motive for trying to find to condemn my own actions. There's no reason for me to go looking through a book in search of rules that deny what I want.

The problem is that what we want isn't always what's best for us and it isn't always what God intends

Ok but a lot of preachers state lust as undressing people with your eyes.

Lusting for someone is nearly the same (in gods eyes) as sleeping with them as stated by the pastor at my church and the pastor at many of the other churches I’ve been to

Lust is described in the Bible as having impure thoughts towards someone else

Which is part of the sin problem

But look
