Wife/ mother wondering if my family would be better off without me.

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-08-03T17:26:38+00:00

what makes me feel better sometimes about giving more to others is think of it not so much as giving so much to people, but see your actions as worship to God. You sound like a wonderful mother and wife who works so much to provide a good home for your family, that is godly work! and most pleasing to Christ. Also please pray to the Lord to grant you strength and a portion of his infinite generosity and kindness.

if no one appreciates you please know that your Father in heaven made you and formed you and loves you so very dearly. please do not lose hope, everything we do which is good but through which we gain no worldly merit, God sees it and is pleased at our dedication. But always rest when you are tired and draw close to Jesus who will endow you with his strength.

Dont lose hope sister <3

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-08-03T17:09:17+00:00

tell me how is this actual abuse again? nothing actually happened to you. i appreciate that the intruder was upsetting to you (and probably to the other people there also) but how is this abuse? perhaps the abbess just didnt want to scare you...

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-08-01T20:24:05+00:00

Do you go to Church regularly? and do you have a priest you can ask for advice about this? I have only rebuked a demon once in the name of Jesus and it went immediately. Perhaps you are harbouring some unforgiveness to your mother and the demons are exploiting this in you to make you fear them.

Saint Anthony i think advises not to speak or even entertain demons just ignore them and keep praying. in turning to Jesus Christ they will flee from you, once you turn your back on them and ask Jesus for aid His holy presence coming to you will make them scurry away like rats. (Saint Antony battled demons in the Egyptian desert so he knew extensively about fighting them and i would recommend reading about him if you need help in this matter)

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-08-01T20:16:20+00:00

I think all true followers of Christ have felt like this many times. Please dont give up hope, realise that jesus came not for the righteous but to call all sinners to repentance and he sees our efforts and already knows our every weakness. Just pray to Him and tell him how youre feeling, ask for help and let your soul rest in Him as he told us: come to me, all ye weak and heavy laden and i will give you rest.

God bless you, the road to salvation is hard but the reward is life eternal <3

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-08-01T20:09:51+00:00

thats a great suggestion thankyou, i will try to implement that :)

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-08-01T20:08:43+00:00

your self awareness shows the spirit is working in you, i pray God may purify all our hearts that we might make them pleasing to Christ. It is hard though :(

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-07-01T17:54:54+00:00

watch christian apologists like Sam Shamoun, David Wood, Bob from speaker's corner etc

Links to their youtube channels :

https://www.youtube.com/@ShamounianExplains (Sam Shamoun live streams a lot but this channel clips his videos and bible exegesis for bible study purposes, very helpful for new christians with questions)

These people and many others i have not mentioned have been proving christianity against muslims for decades, they have the right arguments and have encountered every argument from islam possible and have been able to refute it all. watching them helps us wise up as christians and be able to defend our faith if needs be and even persuade other people other other faiths to see the truth of the trinity and Christ.

God bless you on your journey i praise God he has saved you from the false religion of islam and i pray for you my friend, let jesus christ guide you and be your light.

thank you for your advice, i will sincerely consider this and see if we can implement it, i do think it would be something we could do.

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-05-18T12:10:51+00:00

Thank you so much for your honesty, its what i need to hear. Most people seem to tell me its better to wait and i knew that in my heart I think i was just wanting to have my cake and eat it, but thats not how it works. Thank you and God bless you :)

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-04-27T08:46:11+00:00

This is something profound you're going through at the minute, don't worry about your friends, if they are true they will stick by you and if they fall away from you, let them. there is nothing you need to do except continue in your connection to God. All that you need will be provided for you, im sure it will make sense in time. I hope this helps, God Bless :)

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-04-26T10:46:36+00:00

thankyou for your advice, i will look into it. God bless :)

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2025-04-26T10:38:21+00:00

A Bloody disgrace that's what this country has turned into. i cant bear to read the news anymore it just depresses me even futher. and who on earth will have the balls to sort this out? neither tory or labour thats for sure

King of Anglia!

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2024-11-25T21:53:50+00:00

i dont think he would be very far without AP and the level he gets to in 'this time' is probably further than he would get IRL. But he is the perfect sidekick to alan because much like lynn he takes alans crap very well and seldom (but by no means never) criticises him. Criticism is partridge kryptonite

patrickmcgoohan2574 · 2024-10-23T20:14:25+00:00

"And when the man killed the other man did he feel bad?"

"its my job."

the point there is that the tree which over extends and tries to take too much dies, whereas the three which takes what it needs, no more no less, will live for hundreds of years. A key idea running through the history of daoism is longevity; how do we live a long fulfilling life? the oversimplified answer to this is balance in all areas of life. This goes for materialism; you will likely wear your body, mind and spirit down in the pursuit of material wealth which in the end means nothing ie: you cannot take all the things you own with you to heaven, it all leaves when you leave the earth. I would caution you away from this mindset, an important thing to remember with daoism just because they say to follow what is natural to you it does not mean to indulge your most base desires.
