    My counterfeit comfort is food. It’s been an issues my entire life and I’m concerned about my health. When I eat food it’s like getting the hug I needed. I’m praying against the bad habit

    my takeaway would have to be that even though esther was taken to a higher place, with a change in background, she still remained faithful to the rules given to her by mordecai, her father. i think it's somewhat of a parallel/juxtaposition to how we should treat our blessings from God, but also remaining faithful and disciplined to the will and purpose He's set out for us.

    Being Holy will make you happy though! When both of you truly put God first, you both will know how to treat each other. I would not want to marry someone who is willing to put me or himself first before God! God first and then God will work in our favor!

    One of my counterfeit comforts is fantasy/daydreaming… I never realized how much time it has taken over my life and has prevented me from living my life to the fullest and in the present. Knowing that I’m not alone has helped, and I hope that God would free me from fantasizing about things that are not me and not FOR me

    My biggest counterfeit comfort is people pleasing, especially my family. I keep finding myself hiding behind “helping” or saying “yes” and thinking that I could handle every task, but always end up feeling depleted because I took on too much. I pray that God will help me to not rely solely on being busy but to truly have balance in general. 💜

    My counterfeit comforts are social media, lust of the eyes, actual physical comfort (like laziness or being too much of a homebody), “cute” media (I often idolize Disney bc I find the light and wholesome feeling their movies give to be so uplifting), gaming/booktok (I want to feel like a part of a community bc I have so little friends and they all live far away so I spend way too much time and money on hobbies that someone online said was important instead of spending time with the most important person in the world; the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit). I could go on but these are my main struggles right now. Can’t wait to find the verses where God shows me how He’s better than those fake fixes!

    Mines is food for sure and i would say my marriage but i truly see God delivering me because im not as "obsessed" as i once was. Exodus 20:3 You shall have NO GODS before me. Thank you God for not giving up on me and allowing me to be delivered in Jesus name Amen

    Try doing marriage while unhappy and you find out real quick that the opposite is actually true.

  • @soulflowerr

    Marriage is a part of sanctification!!!!! Sanctification doesn’t always feel good, it’s a constant dying. However; with Christ as the foundation of a marriage with both husband and wife seeking his righteousness as Matthew 6:33 states there’s nothing to fear. God is always in control.

  • @clear_chrysalis9219

    I don’t think she’s saying that you can’t be or shouldn’t be happy in your marriage. I think she’s saying the primary purpose of marriage is sanctification. And considering how much compromise, sacrifice, and hardship we can experience in these relationships, I feel that it’s true. But the outcome of these things should strengthen you in both faith and the fruits of the Spirit. But that’s just my take.

    In the past, my biggest counterfeit comforts were p*rn and m*asturbation. Glory to God, He delivered me in 2022!!!! My current counterfeit comfort is daydreaming/fantasizing about the future, in general. This is something The Lord is working on me on; for example, there have been times where I start to daydream, and I hear Him whispering "I have something better." That's one of the things I try to meditate on: what God has in store is so much bigger and better than my small, human brain can even imagine.

    Congratulations on the counterfeit comforts you’ve overcome🎉🎉🎉 smoking is definitely a tough one for many who do. We share the same current counter comforts and although it’s not a strong vice it is one I must be actively intentional and mindfully aware of when I’m in my feels. I tend to practice “sabbaticals” from FB because I get sucked down the rabbit hole of posts and comparing my life and then shortchange myself all the time knowing ppl don’t post EVERYTHING!😅
