Anger |
My friend told me that
I have a problem with anger. But I have been told it is healthy to
“get my anger out." Now I am confused about what is a Biblical
view of anger. Can you help? |
| I
have been getting in touch with a lot of anger towards my mother. Do
I have a responsibility to talk to her? |
Boundaries |
Why are Boundaries necessary? |
|
Aren´t
Boundaries selfish? |
| I
like to help others but sometimes I feel like I am being used.
I have a hard time saying “no” when someone asks
me to help them. What should I do? |
Control |
Isn´t the Christian life about giving up control, not taking
control? |
| I
like being in control of my own destiny, why should I submit to God? |
| Taking
control of my life seems too big.
Where do I start? |
Dating |
What do I do to overcome my fear of commitment or fear of failure
in choosing or being chosen by the wrong person? |
| Is
it wrong for a Christian woman to seek a dating friendship with a
guy? |
| I
really think I have dealt with my anger about my parent´s divorce,
but how do I learn to trust a woman enough to give relationship a
chance? I´d rather be single the rest of my life than
risk a divorce. |
| I
have a friend who wants to “just be friends” but it seems
like more to me, how can I know for sure? |
Depression |
I am starting to feel let down by God because He is not taking my
depression away. It seems that He would deliver me from this, but
nothing is happening. Can you help?
My
boyfriend and I broke up about 6 months ago. I am still in a lot of
pain and cry a lot. I think, “time heals all things.”
Am I right or is something is wrong with me? |
Family
Relationships |
I have lived out of the house for a while now, away from my parents.
I am 30 years old but I still find what they think has too much weight
with me. How can I get over this?
|
Grief |
How do I comfort someone who is grieving?
What
are the stages of grief?
What
are the symptoms of repressed grief?
How do I help people find a firm footing
in a world that's so unstable? What
is “taboo” when counseling - what things should I not
say?
|
Meaning
and Purpose |
How do I find meaning and purpose in life?
I find no enjoyment in my work, what should I do? |
God |
I´ve made a good life for myself, why do I still feel like there
must be something more?
I
live a good life and do the best I can, why should I look to God as
a judge? |
Panic
Attacks |
I have been having increasing experiences of anxiety lately. I begin
with a racing heart, rapid breathing, fear, and then worry that I
am losing my mind. I am often afraid I am going to die of a heart
attack when I feel this way. I went to the doctor and he said I was
having "panic attacks." He gave me some tranquilizers and
told me that they would go away. I don´t feel comfortable taking
them, but don't know what else to do. I have tried praying and applying
faith but I still feel this way. What should I do? |
Single
Life |
My older brother and I live in the same town. He is married and has
three kids. I am single. My parents, who live in a nearby town, call
and visit him often but rarely come to my home to see me. I´m
just expected to join the crowd at my brother's house.
|
Spiritual
Life |
I have been a Christian for a long time and I have to admit I have
a couple of problems with my faith. First, it has become kind of sterile
for me. I tend to make myself ”be spiritual.” Second,
it does not help me with real problems inside myself. I have the same
kinds of hang-ups I always had. Am I missing something or is
this just the way it is this side of heaven? |
| As
I have gotten older, I have come to feel that following God is a wasted
effort. I read my Bible, attend church, and give 10 percent of my
income, but I am still single and working in a dead-end job. Many
times I have prayed for a wife and a career, but I know that God will
never give me either. He blesses others, but He never blesses me.
Why should I continue to follow God? |
