Satan cannot read minds so he does not know your thoughts, but he is an expert in human behavior. He has studied man from the beginning and he knows what makes us tick. He can hear what we say to...

^^^ This.

I've been through a boatload of trials in the form of rejection and abuse the past 10 years that I did not think I deserved. I became so caught up in the anxiety that I found myself in...

One way to handle this is to setup security on your PC that won't let you access sites like that and use a random password and don't write it down. You can also email it to a friend or relative for...

You didn't say if you have children with this man or not, but they are the ones that suffer the most in divorce. It is almost impossible to calculate the pain, guilt and damage done by divorce - even...

I've struggled with this very thing most of my adult life. I remember sneaking into a drive-in with a cousin when I was 16 by hiding in the back seat. After watching once I was hooked for life. There...

It is entirely too easy to blame our bad behavior on demons. I can't go along with the notion that a demon is assigned to every human born in order to make his/her life miserable and tempt them to...

Benjamin, the fact that you are still hanging in there and that you have stayed together is wonderful to hear. Too many people give up and walk away. On some level your wife probably understands what...

And the point is what? That the "beats" threw out a perfectly good civilization and way of life in favor of something unGodly by engaging in rebellion and looking for something more meaningful and...

I can relate to this. I went through the same thing and my marriage ended because I didn't go get her a blueberry muffin right when she asked. I had been doing everything she asked and felt like I...

I feel for you. My brother committed suicide in 1997. It changed my life and not all for the better. He was very angry and probably bipolar. He and my dad used to get into it pretty often. He finally...

God bless you my friend. I've been there and done that. Nursed my wife through two separate outpatient stays and it is tough. She never banged her head against a wall, but she slugged me a couple of...

Thanks. I do read the Bible some before I go to sleep, but not every night. When I do read it I find I sleep better.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been going to the Pastoral Counseling Center since last summer. I stopped at the first of the year to save money. I am working part-time now so I will go back if the...

It really doesn't matter, but yes, we were/are both believers.

It took me 7 years before I was able to take full responsibility for my actions - before I was able to meet them head-on without...

Excellent story. The truth is, all of what we have can be stripped away in an instant by something that happens every day. I read recently that in 1859 there was a solar flare of such immense size...

Ahhh ... this is important. As I read what you wrote I realized that I have set myself up to be "judge" when God has reserved to himself that authority exclusively. Through Jesus, God specifically...

I am dealing with the same issue - except it happened when I was Christian and during the marriage. There was no physical adultery, but it was in my heart. I betrayed my family - children and ex-wife...

I have tried to forget about it - and have for the most part, but when I am sleep deprived it starts a vicious cycle of guilt, shame and anxiety. Very difficult to live with. I spend a lot of time on...

Unfortunately, I was up at 4 a.m. this morning after sleeping about 5 hours. Better than nothing, but I could not go back to sleep and I am wiped out today.

There is something called nocturnal...

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I was able to sleep last night and it made all the difference in the world today. I was able to spend 4-5 hours studying for this test. I bought some Advil PM...

I posted last summer about my job situation and the stress and anxiety I was feeling as a result of being employed. I am 57 and although I have a college degree and a graduate degree I cannot find a...

@Benjamin,

I wonder how things are going since the New Year. Is your wife better?

I was married to a woman who was diagnosed with Bi-polar II. (As opposed to Bi-polar I) The scars I have from...

Seroquel is an "atypical anti-psychotic" which means it works as a treatment for other conditions including Bi-polar mania. It helps with sleep. The family sessions are to educate you on what to...

Bi-Polar I or II? Did she slip into a manic episode?

Either one is a tricky illness and I am glad she is in a Christian Psychiatric Hospital. Hopefully, she will get some rest, her meds settled...

Thanks. I have worked since I was 16 years old. I worked my way through college and then graduate school. I have always given everything I have for a job and for the most part every job I have had I...

I worked in a menial job for 4 months until the end of July. The boss yelled, screamed, threatened and brow beat everyone on a daily basis. I've never seen anything like it. It paid minimum wage but...

Thanks. I appreciate all the prayers. I am being tested - there is no doubt in my mind.

Dear AngelNSC. There are several medicines that help OCD, but they must be by prescription. Only a doctor can properly diagnose you. I have had obssessive thoughts before and they are related to my...

11 weeks after I applied and 8 weeks after I interviewed I finally received a call today that they have hired someone else. This, despite a multitude of people praying and more than a few people...

I am in a similar situation. No job, and no money coming it all. I am living off my savings which is quickly being depleted. The one thing that helps me is to realize that there are people worse off...
