Thank you for this explanation. I have made a chart and brushed my teeth twice today in I don't know how long. It's really helping so far

I really like the way you have answered this question. Without having to debate about what is and isn't true. If we are afraid of bad forces we can appeal to good forces. I have cptsd and used to have night terrors, I prayed to Jesus and imagined his light coming through the top of my head. It...
