FACING THE ISSUES:

 

 

ESCAPING THE PAIN OF INCEST

 

 Incest happens when there is sexual activity between two people who are related. The relationship can be a natural parent, a step parent, a natural relative or an extended family relationship. The pain of this  activity can be devestating to a child and this pain can last a lifetime if it not treated. (click here to read further)

 

OVERCOMING LOSS

 

I have experienced the loss of many loved ones, a brother, sisters, father, and various friends and family members. I experienced the loss of many material things as well. But the loss of my spouse was the most painful loss I ever went through. I lost part of myself. My emotions were all over the place. I went through anger, guilt, confusion, I experienced shock, loneliness, even playing the blame game. One minute I was happy, the next I was sad and in tears. (click here to read further)

 

WEARY IN WELL-DOING

 

Before going to this particular scripture, I must first ask the question, “Who is it that you are trying to please? God or Man. I know that your first response is “of course I’m trying to please God.”But then there is trailer that follows, “but everyone wants a pat on the back.”(click here to read further).

 

CHURCH HURT:

 

 Why do we go to church? What is it we are searching for when we go to church? Is it to go  to meet people?   (click here to read further)

 

OVERCOMING THE PAIN OF INFIDELITY:

 

With much prayer and faith in Jesus Christ, the pain of infidelity can be overcome. Another essential component in the overcoming process is forgiveness. Everyone who gets married, want their marriage to work, for some, at any cost. However, for others this is not the case. If that trust has been violated, if the  injured spouse can’t get beyond the pain, if the love they shared has diminished,

TRUSTING GOD IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE (HOW DO I DO IT?)

 

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. That is what the Word of God says. But when is morning coming? This is the question many ask when they are stuck in a situation for what seems to them far-too-long. They are trying to trust God and doing all they can to trust in His Word.But it is difficult to trust the Word when every day I am more and more overwhelmed?

THE THOUGHT OF SUICIDE:

(WHAT CAN I DO TO FREE MY MIND? HOW DO I CHOOSE LIFE?)

 

There are many factors that contribute to suicidal thoughts. Loneliness, depression, death of a loved one, anger, bitterness, illness, despair and guilt are just a few of them. These can make a person feel so low, that suicide seems to be the only way out for them. Ironically, none of us are exempt from having these thoughts, for some they are passing thoughts, for others they are deep seated. (click here to read more.)

 

OVERCOMING THE LOSS OF A BODY PART

 

There are many who are faced with losing body parts. Amputations or removal of a body part are often done to save a life due to diseases and/or accidents. And while we all want to live as long as possible, losing that body part causes the amputee much pain and much grief and leaves them feeling incomplete and imperfect. While they are grateful to God Almighty for sparing their lives, they find themselves asking “why me? (click here to read more.)

        

PORNOGRAPHY-THE EFFECTS ON MARRIAGE

 

This is a very sensitive subject to write on because no one wants anyone to know that they are involved in or have been victimized by pornography. There are marriages being ruined due to pornography. Couples are living in the same house but are actually living as though they are separated. They sleep in the same bed, but there is no intimacy, no love making. (click here to read more.)
