My brother's screen name on MSN Messenger currently says "Goodbye Everyone". He has tried to kill himself twice recently, but failed both times. I am worried that this might mean he is planning to try again. He is currently 40 miles away staying with our dad. I contacted him and he said I got the wrong end of the stick, but if he was planning to kill himself he wouldn't tell me. I asked him what he did mean and he hasn't replied. Please pray. |

I am disgusted and at a total loss. My mother-in-law, father-in-law, and their three grandchildren are being beaten down by Compass. They are missionaries in Mexico. They receive very limited funds to carry out their mission and maintain their living situation. Recently they went to an atm to pull out $500 to use as they needed for food and other living costs. The atm told them it could not dispense money at that time. To their horror they later found out the bank had debited the amount despite them not receiving any money at all. They contacted the bank, and as of now no one has come to the location to confirm the problem and on top of that they have charged them over $250 in overdraft fees. I know that since the location is in Mexico it may be difficult to do this, but they are CHARGING them while this is going on. These good people are being trampled on and kicked in the face by this heartless company. As I said they have very little money to begin with. This has thrown them into a very dangerous situation. Compass will not raise a finger to help them and is willing placing them in irreversible debt. My husband and I are sending them everything we can, but I have no idea what to do. I fear my family is sitting in a foreign country with little to no money and possibly running out of time. They will not recover from this is Compass keeps charging them to death. I need help and I have no idea where to go. |

| Urgent prayer request - my brother may try to kill himself |
[Nov. 4th, 2007|08:22 pm] |
If anyone reads this, please pray for my brother.
He is severely depressed and there is a real danger that he could try to kill himself tonight. He could be doing it right now.
He has already made a suicide attempt, unsuccessfully, a few weeks ago.
He is going through a very difficult time, having just broken up with his long-term partner. I know a breakup might not sound like a big deal but the relationship was very long-term and they were planning to marry so he is taking it very hard and is desperately unhappy.
He visited my mum and I this evening, as he usually does on Sundays, and kept saying that he doesn't want to keep living any more. He went home earlier than usual and my mum is terrified that he has gone home to kill himself.
My brother is an atheist. My mum is agnostic and is also going through a very hard time of her own, so she is struggling to cope with this. She asked me to get all my friends to pray, so I'm asking as many people as possible, and desperately hoping that the result gives her a reason to trust in God more rather than to turn away from him entirely. |

...you wish your cancer would return.
I need your prayers, please.
I have somehow managed to make it these past few months. But now well, I am still struggling. I have worked a few temp. assignments and also I have had some help from good Christian friends of mine in NJ and some from my son.
I can't ask my friends to give me money again though. It would not be right.
My son doesn't have enough money either to help. Even my church can't help me.
I will not have the rent money this coming Friday and well... I think my son and I will soon be evicted.
I am trying to stay hopeful and I know the Bible says not to worry. I admit I am weak and I am worried. I am scared too.
Perhaps this is God's will. I pray I can face it.
I have been looking for a steady job but so far I have been unsuccessful.
Anyway- if you could just please keep me in your prayers. Thank you all so much and God Bless You. |

My aunt was rushed into hospital today with kidney failure. That''s all we know at the moment. The hospital will call us with more information tomorrow lunctime. Her husband is taking it very hard and the rest of the family are all worried too. No one else in the family besides myself are Christians but they know that people will be praying, so this is a real opportunity to show them that God is listening and he is good, as well as to see my aunt survive and be healed. If you read this, please pray.
Cross posting to several Christian communities and my own journal. |

I lost my job earlier this week. I had only started it a couple of weeks ago. It was a telemarketing job. I wasn't very good at it and was not able to make any sales. I had worked at this place several years ago and quit after about 1/2 a year. I didn't really won't to work there again but thought I would give it a try because I needed a job. Well it didn't work out.
I am very scared right now. I can't seem to find a job and the few I have had through temp. services don't usually pan out either. I have bills that I don't know if I am going to be able to pay and rent coming up next month. If I can't pay it, I am going to be evicted, along with my grown son. He tries to help me out as much as he can but he only works part-time at the library and he's also autistic. Long story. Oh, I have a dog too.
I gotta be honest. I am considering suicide. I am not happy with my life and I haven't been for quite some time. I can't seem to get ahead. I feel like I am in a pit that I keep falling back into or whatever. I am so tired of struggling and struggling and getting nowhere.
So anyway- I really need your prayers. I don't know what else to do anymore. |

| Strange Request |
[Mar. 6th, 2007|08:32 pm] |
I created this community a couple of years ago and decided that I didn't want a community at that time and just never got around to deleting it. I didn't want a community anymore and I didn't delete it because no body was joining and I didn't think anyone was going to learn about it. Obviously that has changed. I recently went on my old account (this one) my current one is xkate08x and I really do not want a community to moderate and I don't want to delete this because people have been using this. Anyone want to take over for me? If you want to take over please email me at xkes08x@gmail.com or get in touch with me through my Journal: xkate08x

| I'm sorry, but I really need help... |

| | Confused | ] |
I hope no one gets mad at me for posting here, but I really am desperate for help. I don't know anyone in person I can go to for help about God and Christianity and anything like that, so I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I am the type of person who really needs proof to believe things, I know that needs faith too, but sometimes when things go wrong, I have no faith in God even existing. I struggle with sever eating disorders and depression, so much that I've had to go to therapy for over a year, and now I'm on 3 types of medication to help keep my moods stable.
I've prayed every day for 3 years, just thanking God for everything that I have and for everyone to be happy, and it's been fine. But lately my mind's really screwing with me, it's making wonder why I'm even living, and what's the point because everything goes so fast. I pray and beg for a sign, something subtle, but something I'll understand. I prayed last night before I went to bed, for a sign, and I never have any dreams like this (Usually my dreams are about ehhh... well killing people and sex (I hear that's common though)).
So in the dream, there were scientists and people on TV and on the radio, saying that a meteor would hit the earth and the world would end in 3-4 years. So everyone in my dream were freaking out and getting scared. I was worried, and I remember talking to a man in my dream, and I told him to pray that there's a God out there so that we all have somewhere to go when we die, and he told me to find out proof that God does exist (in a good way, not trying to prove it wrong), and then a song that I hardly listen to started playing in my dream, it's an old song, and part of it goes, "Don't they know, it's the end of the world, it ended when I lost your love". So I heard that play and then I woke up almost in tears. I'm wondering if this was the sign I've been praying for all along. I can't tell anyone about it because I'm embarrassed, and I get really emotional when I think about it. I'm thinking the song meant that the end of the world meant my doubts would end, and also meaning that the love was my love for god, and that when I lost the love, my world would end. I usually don't take things like that into account, but it all makes sense to me. I used to like the song because it reminded me of heartbreak from a boyfriend or something... but it made sense for the dream as well... The rest of the song goes along with the dream too I think, the lyrics are here(it's a safe site, no popups or anything). The song was also in a movie, Girl Interrupted, it was on her record player when she was hanging herself :( and the girl in the movie had eating disorders, so I think maybe this song has alot of meaning to me, so that's why it was in the dream...
I'm wondering if anyone else agrees with me? I hope so, because I really hope that dream was true.
I'm sorry if think I'm stupid and don't take me seriously, I just really need some reassurance and help...
Thanks if you actually read this... |

Forgive me if this isn't allowed, but I didn't see any rules against it, and I thought this might be a good place to start. :)
I've started a Christian fan fiction community here at LJ called The Christian Fan Fiction Gathering.
Fan fiction, for anyone who might not know what it is, is fiction written by fans for their favorite books, movies, TV shows, or cartoons. :)
I've been writing fan fiction for a while now, and I love to read it, but I've realized that it is almost impossible to find moral fan fiction written from a Christian perspective. Often times I find myself having to mentally edit the fics I read, and it can be very frustraiting. So, I started Christianfanfic. It's still very small, (only one of my fan fiction pieces is posted at the moment though I'll soon add more) and I'm still a new to LJ, and am still trying to find my way around, but I wanted to put this here in case anyone would be interested in joining. :)
If any other Christian fan fiction writers are out there, feel free to post your stories, and even if you aren't a writer, but just want something good to read, please stop by. The stories don't have to be about a character coming to know the Lord or witnessing a miracle (though they are certainly welcome :) ) They can just be good stories written with a Christian perspective in mind. Testimonies are welcome too. :)
I hope to you see there. :)
Take care and God bless! |

| Online Christian counselors? |

Does anyone know of any good Christian websites that offer free counseling online, like over IM or e-mail?
(Warning: If you try to convince me that real-life counselors are better than online counselors, you are wasting your time. I have a specific reason for seeking an online counselor, and it's for somebody else.) |

Hi, I just joined, and I need some help/support/advice.
I'm a senior in high school and I have two circles of friends, Christian Friends and my Secular/Liberal friends. I've been a christian for four or five years now and I've always had the same problem: I can't share my faith with my second circle. They don't come out and tell me my faith is misplaced and stupid, but I get the feeling they don't like that part of me. I've had several conversations with one of them about how I'm trying to change my life (Stop swearing, keeping my mind pure, ect). She always disregards morals and says that morals "Don't mean ****." She believes that human nature should come first and what may be right for me, isn't always right for someone else. With all this it is very hard to share my faith with her, if I talk about absolute truth that God provides, she'd get angry and probably hammer me with a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't know how to answer. We also have a wiccan in the group, she is incredibly smart but thinks Christians are idiots. She told me that straight out. My Christian friends don't really help much, they just say I need to get out of my comfort zone, they're probably right, but I don't really get any advice on what to do.
Anyway, I just want some support on this, I doubt my faith a lot sometimes, and I hate that feeling.
Pray for me,
Kine |

Okay, i believe i was the one who created this community. That was about 3 years ago, and that is why I had no clue this exisited till today when i looked at my old livejournal. If someone wants to take over this community please tell me. I'm not sure when I created this, but it was back when i was 13 (i'm 16 now).
Take Care,

hi, i'm new.
i was raised a christian, went to a christian school, etc.
went to church every sunday while i lived at home, but it doesn't mean much now.
i call myself an "agnostic christian".
i still believe, i still pray, but what worries me is i don't feel guilty anymore.
i just feel guilty for not feeling guilty, and that worries me.
like some people, i have a problem with some of the piousness and hypocricy that goes along with the label of christianity.
and now it's like i've become what i hate i think.
i'm ashamed to call myself a christian, mostly because i'm a lukewarm bad example.
i drink, i smoke, i toke, but i love jesus, so that's alright. right? no.
i used to have the attitude of "it's just a phase, keep praying, you need to stop this, etc."
but it's been going on so long i just sort of gave up trying to better myself.
anyway, pray for me. |

Hi, I've just joined. I've posted a similar message to this one somewhere else and some "decent" Christian there decided to delete it b/c it apparently offended their senses. Perhaps there's a kinder moderator here who would keep mine.
I'm looking for a prayer partner who's around my age (20-29). Someone who is non-invasive, understanding, different, weird, unconventional, not shallow, doesn't just follow the crowd, believes that anybody can be saved thru faith in Christ & has hope for every single lost soul, knows how to persevere in prayer, welcomes discipline, seeks the truth in all things, hates lies (unless they're Rahab-like ones), and won't pretend to be something they're not - in other words, tell me a bunch of fake stories and make me pray about things that dont even exist (which I've been made to do a number of times in the past in great agony and tears. It's not something I wish to ever repeat). And I'd prefer someone who doesnt already have many other prayer partners but is looking for someone who'll be their main prayer partner.
I'm a bit of a manhater, Im disgusted with most Christians, Im angry about many things, Im mad about having to exist, I have been deceived, tricked and betrayed by some of the ppl I most cared about and/or trusted in my life, and I have my story. But despite the sad state I'm in, Im one of the strongest prayer partners you could have or find when I'm doing well. I can say it coz it's true.
Well if neone's like what I described and interested, email me and I shall welcome you with open arms. |

I read this and I love and adore this: The road to success is not stright. There is a curve called failire, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends and red lights called enemies. Caution lights called damily. you will have flat called jobs. but, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called perserverance, insuance called faith, a driver called Jesus,, you will make it to a place called success. |
