/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

not sure what to say to help really, but don't worry about the state of the world. the world will always have issues, it's an opportunity for us to do things. we are supposed to do things, God's will, to help out. Feed some poor people, do charitable works, spread the gospel etc. It's also your responsibility to take care of yourself healthwise etc. Having Hope is a virtue that we are all supposed to practice. You're just a pilgrim here. Having contempt or "perfect contempt of the world" is considered a good thing actually. Read the Imitation of Christ, that might help you. Nice cat picture btw and I will say a prayer for you!

>Nice cat picture btw

Yeah he was a pretty cat, I would be nice if I see it again in the kingdom to come, it was a breast with a lot of personality

I think I see the problem: I have been exceedingly passive recently, so others have been able to walk all over me unopposed. It's time to become respectable again.

I think my lack of self respect has been the central issue.

>>597272

I have also let issues slide without resolving them, hoping they'd go away on their own. I don't know what the hell I've been doing.

Thinking about it, I hoped people would get smarter on their own with no input on my part, quickly enough that I'd be able to tolerate it. What a retard.

Learn from my negative example, everyone.

Pray to God to unharden your heart. Also read the book of Jonah. Jonah ran away from God because he didn't want to preach in Ninevah, not because he was scared but because he didn't like the Assyrians. It's no different then hating the people in the world because they're "degenerate".

I'm pretty sure you can say fuck here, you just shouldn't say it to someone.

Read Ecclesiastes daily, it's a small book you can easily do it everyday even in audio form it's only 30 min or so. Absorb its message into your heart.

Don't worry, OP. The world isn't ending, just America. The US is an old man who can never be made young again, and is in the later stages of decadence and decline. Right as everyone is finally convinced that the degradation will never end, it will.

Until then we're all just trying to be good and righteous men of God in a time and place of decay.

>>597185

Praying for you.

I… Understand… How… You… Feel.

Get /fit/ anon. There's something to be said spiritually about your state (skip this if you only want functional advice):

Despairing of God's grace [including his grace to be made manifest in your life on earth] is both sinful and folly, if you believe then god will be with you; by despairing at the state of the world and not doing your best to rise above that and be the upright, functional, and moral person god calls you to be, you are through inaction contributing to society's degenerate state.

That being said, lift weights. Lifting weights will improve your mood (I mean immediately, after a good workout you'll be less depressed that day) and you will become more attractive.God gave us a body, mind, and spirit; and for us to function as god intended we have to take care of all three, having a healthy body is foundational to being emotionally and then spiritually healthy. (You ever wonder why trannies and feminist bluehairs are almost universally amorphous blobs, skinnyfats, or lanklets? It's not a coincidence).

Don't fall for the despair of the incels on this board or anywhere else.

We're all a bunch of clowns in the eye of most men and women out there…but we bear all this for Him. I am a wreck of a Christian, but I do not want to give up…not for a God who came into this world, shared our sufferings and pleas, who came for the heartbroken and abandoned ones, who hung and died a violent and miserable death after already humbling Himself and entering the flesh and instead of hatred first forgave those who killed Him and then through His resurrection gave every single one of us the hope for a place in the Father's house, where we will feel and be filled to our limits with the perfect love and joy which comes from God.
