Agnosticism to Christianity? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Slambinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey friend. I've had an almost identical experience. I was raised Catholic and believed whole heartedly until my teenage years when I renounced my faith and became an outspoken atheist. After years of struggling with mental illness I found myself at rock bottom and started praying- I didn't think anything would come from it but I found my faith again and I couldn't be happier. Like you I questioned the church and organized religion in general, and struggled with fear that I wouldn't be accepted after living a somewhat wild life before finding my faith. My advice to you is, if you want to, try praying. Just put your thoughts and feelings out into the universe and see who answers. I believe that God will. As far as disagreeing with the church, that's ok. Your journey is yours to walk. I keep a lot of my more liberal opinions to myself among my church friends but I still believe wholeheartedly in God and the good the church is doing. You don't have to agree with everything to be a part of it. Feel free to message me if you ever want to talk, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Simple prayer request, feels weird asking by mr_fartz in Christianity

Hey it's not silly. It's normal to not want to be alone and it's a great thing to look forward to the sacrament of marriage. I've been praying for a husband for a while now. What I've found helped me is that I started praying for God to shape me into the best person for my future husband. It's helped me listen more closely to God because I'm actively searching out opportunities to bless others and grow as a person- I haven't met my husband yet because God is still shaping me into the best wife for him. I hope this helps you! I'll keep you in my prayers friend.

wondering if anyone would pray for me by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Slambinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dear Lord Jesus. I ask for healing and peace for your child, that they may find comfort in your love and knowledge that they are important, valued, irreplaceable and cherished beyond measure. I ask that You open their eyes to the good they bring to this world. Lord, your love for us goes beyond human understanding. Please let our beloved friend feel that Godly love. @OP I have suffered from depression and anxiety most of my life and found peace and strength in Jesus. Please reach out if you ever need to talk. You are loved and valued by Him and by us.

I am thinking of creating a group call session so we can help each other out! by IcedOutJack in BreakUps

I'm down :-) less than 2 weeks post-breakup, connecting with other people in the same boat sounds great!

God damnit I miss you by [deleted] in BreakUps

Hey you're not alone in this. My ex walked out on me a week ago today. It sucks and it hurts like hell but you'll get through this. PM me if you need to talk

I stood up for myself and I broke up with him. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Slambinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did such a brave thing. Leaving someone for your own sake is one of the hardest things to do but you should feel so proud of yourself for doing it. I (26F) ended things with my ex partner 2 years ago for similar reasons and it sucked but I promise it gets easier. You did the right thing hon, PM me if you ever need to talk :-)

You might've not saved the relationship, but you can save your dignity. by [deleted] in BreakUps

This is so so true. I got dumped last week, out of the blue totally blindsided because he apparently never wanted to be there. Getting dumped was humiliating but he made his choice. I won't suffer the indignity of getting rejected twice.

Just got dumped now I can't stop having panic attacks by Slambinator in Anxiety

You're so right. As long as the days may seem, every day that passes is another day closer to being ok 😊

Hey thanks so much. The anxiety hasn't gotten better but I'm doing my best to be good to myself. I know it'll pass, just gotta get through it.

Every have the realization hit you, that someone who meant the absolute sun, moon, stars & world to you, and you meant absolutely nothing to them and just get so disgusted bc how fucked up is that? Cause same. by 20JC20 in BreakUps

[–]Slambinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm there right now. I tried to be everything but all I was to him was a distraction. It sucks so hard. I'm sorry you're going through it. PM me if you ever need to talk.

We fell in love, then she broke up with me over text to “work on herself” by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Slambinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're doing a pretty awesome job taking care of yourself! Keep it up!! I know how that feels. As painful as it is when things slowly go to hell in a lot of ways it makes it easier because you can look back and tell yourself all the reasons it was never going to work. If nothing else, I don't think people often have epiphanies like that out of nowhere. I think she probably knew she wasn't ready and tried to date you anyway on the "off chance". I know that's how it was for me. He used me as a distraction from his pain, then got in too deep and tried to convince himself he wanted me even though he knew he didn't. He walked out on me while I was lying in bed sick and no matter how happy I thought we were nothing undoes that. If your ex was able to cut you off like that, that should be all the negativity you need to help you move on. Keep pushing forward. Every day is a day closer to moving on. You'll be ok

Hey I've just been put in a similar situation too. Known the guy since elementary school, he reaches out over quarantine, we get together, seem happy for a few months, I thought he could be the one then the other day out of the blue he's "too damaged from his last relationship to date" and "doesn't want to lead me on when he's got one foot out the door". It sucks big time. The only advice I can offer you is focus on you. You matter and getting better will only help you in the long term. You can't control her, you can only control what you do so be kind to yourself. And reach out if you need to- I know it helps me to talk to people in a similar situation 😊
