I share your struggle of being hard on one's self. I just try to remember that I am doing the best I can and that I can't compare myself with my past self or others because the situation just isn't the same.

Ah gotcha.

This is something I struggle with myself because the Sermon on the Mount says not to love our enemies and bless those who curse us and forgive them. The way I read some of David's psalms it seems they directly contradict Jesus's teaching on forgiveness. One potential way to read David's words is...

Yes I understand and I don't think it's necessarily wrong to pray for justice and we have courts of law for a reason. I am sorry to hear about your niece's actions and hopefully she changes her ways.

Have you all thought about volunteering at a zoo or aquarium? I think that would be fun!

It's interesting that you hear the same sound each time. I'm not sure exactly what the significance of that is but maybe it's triggered by something.

You're not alone in your struggles with legalism and self-condemnation. It can be a real struggle to get over it. Remember that Jesus vindicated the Publican and not the Pharisee. God knows we're sinners and loves us anyways.

I lift Diane and her daughter to the Lord in prayer.

Parth I think from my reading you're entering into multiple new and challenging situations without a lot of stability from day to day. Add on that some of these kids demand special attention. What you're doing is very challenging for anyone. I would recommend limiting your days per week as you...

Yeah it sounds like you've got it planned out. Not too much more time left to endure it.

Thanks for this. I enjoyed praying this prayer.

Just want to say I've been using the Jesus prayer and I very much recommend it. It goes "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. I think part of the message of Job is there are questions we will never have answers to and much of what we know about God is dim speculation.

Please pray for me. I am suffering tremendously and in the midst of the worst spiritual attack I've ever experienced in my life (I was almost possessed). I have no idea how this is happening to me but please pray for me. Please.
