internet people stay on the internet buddy

Please pray for me. I just broke up with my girlfriend, the very first and probably last serious relationship of my life. I loved her very much, but the relationship got toxic and she turned extremely abusive, to the point where I had to walk away. It's been a very difficult time for me, and I'm trying to find a little bit of faith and reason during this period. My name is T.J. I know I don't deserve your prayers or the Grace of God, but I'd still be extremely grateful. I feel so damn lost right now.

That’s heavy @T.C., stay strong man. I’ve found pushing into God is the best way to get over a serious relationship. Maybe read Psalms 30? It’s a beautiful psalm and always gave me comfort in emotionally tough times. I’ll be praying for you ❤️

I heard a song much like this before, in church. Thank you. I will think about this a lot, and I think it could help.

Prayer request: ive been far too focused on the apologetic/rational arm of the faith; always engaging and researching the arguments of extremely educated critics of Christianity. Tho I believe ive overcome their arguments, the sheer volume of them and their articulate nature has put immense pressure on my faith. Its constantly on my mind and its so hard to focus on other things. I just need prayer to get them out of my head and refocus on my spiritual walk, which ive neglected for far too long. Its only through the spirit that one can engage the unbelievers properly, and i never considered that.

hey y'all. I come to you completely defeated and broken. I have been looking for jobs for a year now. without luck. I'm desperate. I need money to get married. start a family... I don't know what to do anymore

@eliaa What are your studies/skills?

And where do you live?

Please pray for my father, he died 2 days ago. His name was Larry.

thanks guys! I am a life science graduate with knowledge of GMP and experience in various research laboratories. Looking for a job in the biotech/medtech/pharmaceutical industry, in areas where writing and analysis skills are of good use

@Deleted User I live in Denmark, but I can relocate!

@eliaa Sounds good, though it is probably a rather niche field, which would explain some difficulties finding the job. Maybe there are companies you can pay to so that they get you a job or something

@eliaa do you have a PhD? Usually that's what you need to have a decent living in that field. That's my area of work.

Scandinavia is pretty lacking in bio/med-science afaik (I'm Norwegian) so you should seriously look into what some of the bigger EU countries are doing in your field and start looking for jobs in that country instead. Keep in mind tho that the US is by far the leader in medical science, and due to the private nature of the American health system; probably better paid aswell.

@eliaa But yeah, what Mozalbete says is also a good idea.

@Mozalbete ⳩ yeah there are some recruiting firms I can pay!

@Quarantine_Zone really?? what do you do? yeah I apply for PhDs as well. I've been told that if I wanna get the top I should consider getting one just for the sake of it. But really, I don't care about money. I want to work for maybe 5-10 years to save up so I can be a stay at home mom.

@Deleted User good point! and heyy hi fellow Scandinavian! Do you have experience working in the US? It appears that in order to work there, even if only for a short time, you need to have a sponsor for your visa and all that and it seems like super complicated and costly

Absolute mess right now tbh, the whole conflagration of hell it seems is trying to break me down lately and to be perfectly honest it's doing a bang-up Job. Started back in fall, classes cut me off from the one reliable, supportive group of christians I had, when I finally got back, most of them had left for their own churches (it was an interchurch college-age group) and I was left without a spiritual home. I tried going back to my church, but despite solid biblical teaching some bad things have been seeping into the structure of the church, and the poison is such I have a hard time even showing up knowing what I know.

As I was struggling through that, my girlfriend's mom got surprise stage 4 stomach cancer, and I've been doing my best to support them as best I can, but it really dealt a blow to the fragile spiritual state. In the midst of all this, some unknown physical and mental affliction has woken up in me. Part of it is severe carpal tunnel that's been rendering my hands occasionally useless at work. Much of it is stuff I don't even know how to diagnose. My insides are falling apart, my body just goes into contortions and spasms, my ability to process information is starting to decay, I don't know what to do, I'm barely holding together

I know God is there, that there is a plan in this, but I just feel so alone I want to give in and just let myself die

Damn, dude, stay strong

Have you seen a doctor for it?

Been trying, kinda have a thing about doctors though, so it's been a whole thing getting to just set setup an apointment. Been working at it, just not easy...

@eliaa I'm in undergrad, studying econ, but I went in pre-med, so I've been working in basic research in vascular health for a few years now. Everyone around me that has funds for a family though has a PhD, MD, or Vet degree

@eliaa , no can't say that I have any experience with working in the US, but if you're any good at what you do, then I'm sure that getting a sponsor should be doable enough.

I'm losing my sanity. I've been broken up with my girlfriend for 7 months and this is to test me to see if I'm truly man enough to be stable in my life to bring her to America to marry me or may it's to bring me to Orthodoxy so I can marry her one day and I'm so close to cutting through and going to see her in Europe but I'm so upset. I'm afraid she'll have already found another. I'm such a fool. I should just move on but I feel like its fate that lead me to her but she's gone and I don't understand if it's some joke or what it is. Why would I be given such a good woman only to have her taken away? Or am I missing something? I've done so much thinking on it and I've thought about her and her negatives but I'm at such an enclosed part in my life right now I don't know where to turn to but to God and I ask him to calm my mind and he leads me to calmness but then it keeps reoccurring. I relapse over it. It's as if she died. I was so invested in her and I'm so emotionally connected to her. Please pray for me and my sanity. Ask for someone or something to help press it's way into my life to show me harmony, or instill something within my dreams that manifest in my reality. I'm so troubled.

@JoeyJoestar1337 Definitely, brother. God will show you to who you are meant to be with the rest of your life. You will find her, count on it.

Could you please keep my cousin Candice Langshaw in your prayers? She died last night after a 20+ year battle with Wilson's Disease and having been in an induced coma (effectively) since October last year.

Would you all please keep Fr. N. Rynne in your prayers? He has been found guilty of trying to bring Catholics in Tasmania to Heaven and the Archbishop has removed him from his post.

guilty of what?

Guilty of telling Catholics that you have to be Catholic to get to Heaven. He's also been found guilty of saying the Latin Mass and offering it to God.

Pretty horrendous crimes, eh?

How dare he.

I have one but it isn’t about me, screenshot kinda tells all

Theres been a pretty bad car accident in my hometown. Pray a small prayer for the drivers soul and his family if you can spare the time.

@Deleted User @Quarantine_Zone thanks guys! I'll look more into it. I applied for a PhD now, let's see :)

My faith is getting tested i'm really having a rough time outside of prayer and about certain temptations that i'm trying to fight off, please pray that i may not loose my way in Christ. Thanks .

Could you all please pray that I don't have to do jury duty on Wednesday? I've no problem performing the duties per se, my issue is that I'm booked in for my driver's test next week and can't afford to reschedule it (because reasons).

Could you please pray that i stop getting shoah'd, I've had multiple accounts, RWDS, ORTHOGANG, NS Legalism, the three aliases i went under, honestly its annoying as fuck that I keep getting shoah'd so, in advance, big thanks if you pray for me.
