Hi all, It's rare I open up on public forums to strangers but i thought to reach out on a Christian based site for more likeminded-ness and also possible prayers for three main issues that have been troubling my heart.

I. I struggle majorly with mental health issues that weigh heavy on me, lately it has been so very hard to find such motivation to do daily tasks and keep strong, I have been diagonsed with serveral mental illness. It helps knowing the Lord has me, and i feel lighter for it. However sometimes i just feel a bit lonely in social life and in my struggles with finding therapists that will see me.. etc. I just want to get back to a good spot so i can climb even closer to Gods wants and be the best version of myself, because i struggle, Lord knows i do, especially when it comes to emotional regulation and control of my words. Its a spiritual battle, that i'm consistantly trying to hinder from.

II. My bearded dragon Loki recently had a serious operation to remove a mass in his gallbladder and had a swollen liver, he is so very dear to me, and i just want to request a prayer from you beautiful people, because the little guy is my world, for his strength health and overall good wellbeing, he is only 6, and truly is the sweetest little lizard, whom i pray i can spend many more years with.

III. I was an atheist for almost 10 years after finding Christ and being saved last year, Amen. However i have been in a relationship with my current loving and beautiful partner Bradley, he is a non believer because it is all he's ever been raised with and known where i was raised surrounded by Christs word. When i came out to him about finding our Lord Jesus he was nothing but the most supportive person i couldve hoped for out of it, I explained my concerns and such, he was happy with having a Christian wedding, raising our children with Christ and even said he would be open to coming to church with me when i wanted him there but he is very much into evolution. (As i was before for the 2.5 years prior with him until i was saved) i pray everyday he finds the beauty of Gods love too, i am very much in love with this man and i feel as though he was a gift from God. I ask for prayers that Bradley finds the Lords love so we can live together in his Glory and marry in Christs love and build that religious commitment together as one flesh.

Sorry for 3 big requests, i dont know if anyone would read this but i just needed to get this all off my back and onto text to let go a bit of it all. - much love and God Bless you all. Much Love and TIA. :)
 
There are two items you need to deal with.

1) Physical issues can be improved by exercise and diet. Start by taking walks everyday and eating healthier and sleeping at least 8 hours.

2) spiritual issues - which can manifest itself as physical issues on occasion need a spiritual solution. Praying, reading the word of God and at times fasting.

Things will get better if you do the above, but it will take time.

I just prayed for you and your lizard Loki. I know that reptiles are just as special as dogs when they are pets. Hope he is recovering well. I would research breeders and call to ask why a bearded dragon would get a fatty liver. Having raised reptiles, but not a BD, I would start with proper diet, exercise and environment. The vet should have shared possibilities with you upon the test results, so you can prevent it from reoccurring. Surgeries are risky and a fortune , plus your love for your friends health.

I can sympathize with you about the challenges of your first request. I've studied behavioral psych formally and seen little progress from the limited experiences with family/friends who utilize secular counseling and psychiatry. On the other hand, I have experienced personal challenges that were so stressful, they almost k://€d me.
The Lord has been my sole Comforter and is healing me little by little, going in the right direction. While applying what I know to do spiritually, I have found online resources that has not replaced personal interaction, but has been classes to help understand the dynamics of a few conditions. After listening to the following therapist, I have learned a lot and been encouraged. His info isn't the end all of help, just an information resource. With that said, I would keep in mind that he is not teaching God's Word and anywhere you might hear a contradiction, God always knows best. Perhaps this will be helpful.

Praying for your, your lizard and boyfriend. May God be with you and guide you forward, softening your boyfriend's heart toward Him, in Jesus' name, amen...

You've done well to reach out. We all need prayer and help from each other, that's how we were designed and we're happy to be of service...
When two or more Father in God's name, that's where He is. He's in on this and will see you through. The miracle is in wait, sit back and let God work!

Don't underestimate the impact of exercise, a routine (including getting up early) and a reason to get up when it comes to combatting mental issues. They all help no end. In many cases It will alliviate the issues, in others, it ends them. Give It a go a keep to it. Keep us updated and be blessed.

Earnest prayers for you two, Cherry he sounds like a wonderful man and a great first person for you to help with their faith!! These days you can start looking up some great Christian Biblically-accurate science because modern discoveries are proving quite a bit of Bible History 100% verifiable as true. Also some things are misunderstood because we don't know the original language.

Take your time fully educating yourself about our faith and it's history together sister, you can do this. The Lord is the master of all knowledge and there is Godly science painting the beautiful cosmos into being everyday. Your man will see that kind of thing first since he's intelligent. Approach it from an angle he understand and THEN wham-smack it's Gospel time xD.

For example: Yom, the Hebrew word for "Day"... God made all of creation in six and rested on seven "Days" but is that what the originally written word literally means?

yom (יוֹם). In Biblical Hebrew, yom does not exclusively mean a 24-hour solar cycle. It has four distinct literal meanings depending on the context:
  • A period of daylight - 12 hours (as opposed to night).
  • A literal 24-hour day.
  • An unspecified, long period of time (an epoch, era, or age).
  • A specific point in history (e.g., "The Day of the Lord").
