I know this might sound preachy but its the truth and im sticking to it.

so

I lost my one source of income
lost alot of good people from being toxic
a close relative passed away (basically my 2nd mother)
my sickly condition got worse
went on a pill-popping binge

but just when I was about to take a ''terminal decision'' I thought ''I might as well pray and go to church to make my peace'' and that's when everything changed.....a preacher told me that ''son, you have to take it easy, life is hard, sad and difficult. otherwise what would Christ come to save us from if everything was perfect? but you know what? you're not alone.Martyrs endured torture for their faith, not cause they were inhuman but cause they had the comfort of knowing what awaited them at the end of the road was worth hurting for.''

and like that, the weight was lifted. I'm still going to struggle, cry, bleed and all that but now there's purpose to the suffering

and to those that are wondering why I made this thread when most people will either ignore it or laugh at it the answer is that I hope I can be of some use to even 0,01% of people that stumble upon this.

Have a blessed day yall.

jesus is king

happy you found something that helps you out with life op

great username

thanks, nayuta

love you OP

Kanye's last few albums must be hitting different now

love you too fam <3

Glad you were able to find a source of hope and light to ground yourself in

kanye's music always hits different

Bless you brother
Amen

I'm glad it had to happen the way it did

cause I was the judgemental type of christian

but when you hit rock bottom you cant find the ''courage'' to have that attitude anymore

Something I forgot to mention

the priest was so kind hearted he was willing to come to my house to confess me and give me the Holy Communion which is unheard of since the church regulations allow that only to people in hospitals or in their deathbeds or people that are unable to move

and that's because he understood im mentally ill and didnt want to trouble me by going there every week.

not at all surprised to see this poster in here saying this

Religion can lead to so much prejudice and fighting people forget that it can also be something great. I’m not religious but I understand why people are

I appreciate the respect

Bless up

fun fact: Saints used to pray for the whole creation, not just people

some of em reached a state where they could ''hear'' every form of life worship God

real

Glad youre doing better man, this thread reminded me to pray again.

it's been in you all along man, im just an instrument

Not Christian but seeing people find faith brings me joy

thats noble
