    I'm also living with my 97 year old mother to take care of her, working a job from home, and exhausted. My heart goes out to you. I'll pray for you as I pray for my own situation each day, each hour. God has been drawing my attention to focus on the 'surpassing joy of my salvation' because life isn't doling out external circumstantial 'joy' right now, and also on His 'peace that passes understanding' because life feels chaotic and very much out of my control right now, and at the root of it all to Trust Him, that He has me in His grip, and ultimately He has authority over this situation and watches over Mom. He sees all, knows all, and is our source of peace and joy always, but especially poignantly during our most difficult patches along the journey. The love of Christ be with you, in you, all around you.

    As long as the preacher is sticking to scripture, not changing it, and doesn’t care about your feelings, you’re getting to hear God Word. Always check any preacher with Gods Word. That means you have to be studying Gods Word on your own as well so that you are not misled and deceived.

I’ve been diagnosed with Narcissism Personality Disorder(NPD) and I just want God to tear down these towering walls of my emotions and dismantle every brick that helped build this.

    I will be praying for you. My husband has npd tendencies and I'm currently in heavy spiritual warfare fighting for him to be set free. These are strong old spirits but God said "the weakest in my Kingdom is stronger than the strongest in the enemies camp" I would humbly suggest finding scriptures that counter the enemies attacks. If you stuggle with anger, find scripture to combat it in your angry moments. If you stuggle with lust find scripture that talk about purity and the ramifications of lust. And so on. God bless you.

Sometimes I just need a full day off after spending time with someone however enjoyable and anointed the experience may be. I read bible voraciously, and then have a period where a book like Enoch overwhelms me and it is hard to read. Just glad Yah is with me and never leaves me.

I have been given the soul time that I desperately needed, to recapitulate my life and come To terms. I know our Lord has been with me my whole life. I see Him. The Holy Spirit shows me many things. I never had the time or energy to understand all the trauma I have been dealt in life till now, at almost 60. Jesus has released me from my mission, which has taken 50 years. He has told me to prepare, rest and wait on Him. He is about to move man's reality in a very big way. Hallelujah

    I can relate, I too have been battling bipolar, anxiety, and personality disorder my whole life. I love people, and God gave me a giving heart to give to those who have nothing. But I can't find a church , in and out of so many throughout my life. People don't understand me, most don't care enough to pray over me, I am 57 year old lady, I have no friends, I have no church, I'm alone in my head. I can't sleep long hours, or my body hurts, or even when I wake up to early my mind races. The enemy always puts the first thoughts to throw me off. I'm reading the Bible all the way through in my second year now. God is so good to me. My marital relationship and step children w/ ex seems to be the biggest despair in my life. I'm literally fighting a spiritual battle every time they come. I'm so tired of not being stronger. I hate letting the Lord down. Sorry, didn't mean to vent so much. I just wanted to encourage you, that it's the same for many of us, trust the Lord...he sends us encouragement through messages like this one. I've really been getting strength from Pastor Jack Hibbs too, on line. Great bible teacher. Gary Hamrick too....I'm going to put you on my prayer list for September. ❤

I comment online and people attack me en masse, then I get suddenly banned so I can’t fight back and people just pile on. It’s happened countless perhaps maybe 100 times no joke, and I have very severe CPTSD from it and also my upbringing where I was made to feel singled out & worthless. 😢 It has taken a long time for God to get me to start praying for undeserving people again but I still slip up. Last night a guy pissed me off so bad online and I just started yelling out loud “get in a car wreck and live in hell forever” 🤬 etc etc and I couldn’t stop cussing. It was my wound speaking.

    I'm going through some horrible times. My family is falling apart, I never see my family, I work on the road and can't see my own kids most of the time and still have no money or retirement, I'm told old for this. I'm struggling. Why does it seem like most of the world is going through this right now! Everything seems like doom and despair. I'm praying to the lord for better days!

    As always, much needed sermon from Pastor Mark. My mother in law passed away end of April and depression has been constant in our household. We all have different ways of coping and remembering, but it was so senseless (she never woke up for routine surgery) that we also have spouts of anger sprinkled in with depression. Much needed sermon. I’m just now catching up on the series.

    Wow. I can’t believe this. I ‘accidentally’ came across this. Now I don’t think it’s an accident. I actually had thts a few days ago exactly like Elijah - not that I wd ever, ever harm myself or son or take my own life just as Mark Driscoll mentioned Elijah won’t and I want to be with and there for my son who needs me but I tht recently because of some very stressful situations, ‘I wish God, there could be just some kind of rapture for me and my son like with Elijah bc I don’t want to have to deal with these problems and perplexing stresses anymore’. I am partially disabled and my (young) son and I had to move back in with my mom (who is a narcissist), due to a natural disaster. She is good to him but verbally abusive to me. My counselors said to not be surprised if after moving back in with her child protection services were called due to her spreading rumors about me wn she doesn’t get her way with everything, (which recently happened). Thankfully there were no allegations of physical abuse and only allegations of bad verbal arguments between me and my mom (some of to which she said she had no recollection of and I didn’t either). I’m just tired of the drama and smearing. Please deliver us to a place here on earth of freedom Lord to better do what You have planned for us!!!

    Christiaan son of encouragement left me mom Olga 4 years ago because of Christ that he believed in for 32 years.. Suddenly.. 2 years later I stopped crying and my body back was in agony... I found a way to heal through wisdom, let no man. Or. Satan""become your thoughts and keep you wake, but listening to the truth in your word, I want to acknowledge the healing came from the Holy spirit became the river of Life for healing.. Esk67. 68.i dived daily not just knee-deep but with my whole body. So no healing unless you call on Christ.. Day by day patiently mostly with an unchun. Cry out and when he run around the driveway on the farm.. Kofi and no sugar will be ready. The insight of being broken in your wisdom today was meaningful.. Open our hearts to the love of Christ..please pray for Christiaan to come to truth about new age theories.. We want to tell about the Miracle Christ did.. I am not aloud contact.. I was and is an amacing, caring and creative mom, loving children, my best place to be.. Thankyou Mr Driscall.. Regard Olga.. From south africa.. We a bif fan club because of your Authentic love for Christ and thruth... Be blessed.
