For people who are religious. How do u meditate on the Bible to counteract negative thoughts and feelings, because I feelike the negativity is winning and like the truth of the Bible is not sinking into my heart.
I am reluctant to reply because I am a Muslim, and my opinion might not align with what you believe in. If you want to engage me, please tell me what are those negative thoughts?
Do u believe in God??
@Jesuslover28 - Yes, Muslims believe in The One God of Abraham and Moses, or what you as a Christian call The Father, as The only true God.
@hanysm@gmail.com If u want to reply go ahead but if u think what u might tell me will make it worse then don't. It's totally up to u
@Jesuslover28 - Hello there. I've noticed your repeated posts asking for help, and I'd like to offer my support if I can. I've hesitated to reach out before, as I don't want to come across as preachy. You've mentioned experiencing "negative thoughts," and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share what those are. Perhaps I can offer some perspective or relief. Remember, it's you who are suffering, you who are asking for help, and you who need to confront these negative thoughts. If you're a person of faith, consider asking God for guidance. Many believe that if it's His will, He will provide the help you need, often through unexpected channels. I'm here to listen if you'd like to talk more about what you're going through. GOD Bless
@hanysm@gmail.com But I'm just scared to share them because it makes me feel so bad and I'm scared once I put them out it means I'm a bad person. But the thoughts attack God all the time making him seem like a monster or attack me trying to convince me I'm a bad person or that I'm gonna lose control. But Ik God is not a monster but these thoughts confuse me so bad that I can't tell truth from lie and idk if I'm a idiot of if ocd just confuses me
I wish you to find the right path , ❤️
I can understand how overwhelming it can feel when negative thoughts seem to take over. It’s a struggle many people face, and it can be really difficult when it feels like spiritual truths aren't sinking in. One thing I’ve found helpful in times like these is to focus on patience and trust sometimes we don’t immediately feel the impact of what we believe, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there working quietly in the background. Just like how we plant a seed, we don’t see it grow overnight, but with time and care, it flourishes. Also, it might help to focus on gratitude and mindfulness. Reflecting on even the smallest blessings in your life, and taking a few moments each day to breathe deeply and quiet your mind, can sometimes help shift your perspective. These practices can open up space for the truth to settle in your heart in a deeper way. Lastly, don't be too hard on yourself. It’s natural to have ups and downs in faith, and sometimes all we can do is take small steps forward. Keep going, and trust that the negativity will pass with time. You’re stronger than you think
I really want to help you , is there a way you suggest to help you
If u have any social media so we can talk maybe, but if u don't want to share your media I totally understand. But I've been working on mindfulness, and it helps sometimes. But not all the time.
Yeah sure , what platform you prefer
Well I only have Snapchat right now so if u want to use that we can. But if u prefer something different like Instagram we can use that
Anyone else struggling with reading their bible or having a certain feeling to feel like God loves them and if they don’t it ruins their whole time with God. Makes pursuing him really hard. Any tips ?
So I am a practicing Catholic, and I've gotten into reading the Bible this year, praying the Rosary, things like that, and while I love to do that, my OCD has been seeming to take over, in ways such as like I have to read the Bible for a certain amount of time before I'm satisfied with the time read, or something along those lines, and it's starting to make the thought of praying and reading the Bible unenjoyable, which is really hurting me inside, because I used to and want to enjoy it so bad, but now this is making it really hard to, because it feels like I don't have control over my own thoughts, and little things trigger the thoughts, it's just so annoying. If there's anything anyone thinks I can do to combat this please let me know.
I’m Christian, and I suddenly had a loss of faith. I’m praying constantly and as anxious and scared that God hasn’t chosen me for this religion, even though I believe in it whole heartedly. My brain is telling me these things, and saying how I would be fit for Islam or something else, even though I am perfectly happy being a Christian. I keep getting intrusive thoughts and feelings about not believing in my religion, and whenever I confess how I do believe, my brain tells me I’m lying or I feel otherwise. It makes me feel guilty and abandoned and alone. I still read my Bible and pray CONSTANTLY. Please help (sorry if this is hard to understand I am ranting)
