(I updated this on November 8, 2012. I haven’t checked out every number to determine their validity. But what I have gathered up, I freely offer to you.)
List of Hotlines–1-800 Phone Numbers
Mostly, these are organizations and ministries that are there when life gets challenging. Use these phone numbers wisely, and I would encourage you to pray for those who are counseling you. Also, I am not able to check each number. These numbers are to be used with some precaution as a result. They may change without notice.
This list isn’t complete yet. If you have a contact that isn’t here, please email me that information. I’m Bryan Lowe at flash99603@hotmail.com.
In general, these hotlines have three things in common:
1) they are available to call 24/7
2) they are 100% confidential
3) they are free
Here’s a list of hotlines that may help you in whatever situation you find yourself in.

***********
The American Counseling Association recommends, “Five ways to help with coping AFTER a crisis situation.”
- Recognize your own feelings about the situation and talk to others about your fears. Know that these feelings are a normal response to an abnormal situation.
- Be willing to listen to family and friends who have been affected and encourage them to seek counseling if necessary.
- Be patient with people; fuses are short when dealing with crises and others may be feeling as much stress as you.
- Recognize normal crises reactions, such as sleep disturbances and nightmares, withdrawal, reverting to childhood behaviors and trouble focusing on work or school.
- Take time with your children, spouse, life partner, friends and co-workers to do something you enjoy.

My niece porchia Bennett is three 3yr old in her grave at this time behind abusive addict both my sister in jail im homless after department of hum. ser. dischar. me oneproblem do porchia deserves to see her uncle homless in heaven? if so i rather be dead before i let her see me homless i ask for help from philly they turn porchias uncle away
I honestly don’t know. But I will point to two thoughts. One, all that God does/allows will be right and loving. Everything. Second, we must forgive if we are to be forgiven. Everything.
Dear one, try to rest in this. And its like moving a huge pile of sand with just a bucket and a shovel. It’s going to take some time.
Do not feel this way. She is in the arms of God and there are no tear in heaven(book of revelation). She is looking down on you and knowing you too will join her one day. But not that soon! This is a broken world and while you are homeless you can still (by being alive) use your life to help others by however you can. Dying does nothing to help the earth. But living for Christ does. I am praying for you and that you will realize you are worthy of the life god gave you “. Never take away your own life no matter how strong the temptation!! God bless you
Im a 25 year old woman who has been in a relationship with a man for 7 years. The problem is I am coming to the realization that I am most likely a lesbian. I wish I could have understood these feelings earlier but it seems like its too late. I feel so guilty blaming him for my intimacy problems. I really do care for him but I am not attracted to him and have virtually no desire for men in general. We have built a life together and he is my best friend but I dont know how to tell him that I am not attracted to him sexually, and only platonically emotionally attracted to him. Im at my wits end, and dont want to make a huge mistake by ending the relationship. HELP!!
I love your honesty. It is seen so rarely, and valued by so many. I really don’t know what to say. I will be praying for you to understand the many strong issues involved. Answers should come as you sincerely look toward Him. The Holy Spirit is moving each of us toward holiness… a Treppy-kind of holiness. It will only come when you put him first.
Ybic, Bryan
If you lead him on your very wrong but are your feelings real there is only your opinion that can help you in this ocassion good luck. Ps: you always love your best friend
Pastor Lowe, I am praying for you that God will continue to strengthen you, encourage and lift you. Like you, I am also a person, God is using in my community and at work where people confidently entrust me their lives struggles and pains. I used to be so strong because I rely in God’s power so much knowing that I was being used to minister to those I came across with filled with pains. But, lately I found myself struggling with the on going struggles of these people, I am beginning to carry their burdens as if they were mine.there were times, I wanted to put my resignation to God and says I quit. I know that my despair is coming from not seeing positive results on the things that I have been praying for certain people. These are real Christian with faith and they understand the purpose of their trials because that’s what I keep telling them but deep inside me I am so hurting for them, that I would cry out to the Lord for them, begged Him to get them out of their struggles. I have not been so open about my feelings of being emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually drain. But, God has been good, He picks me when I fall..therefore, I pray for you Pastor and thank you for what you do.
Thank you, dear one!
There are so many AMAZING ministries to help u with porn/sex addiction. Many focus on men but many have programs for women. check out “be broken ministries”, xxxchurch.com, new life ministries and if u have the iPod podcast app look at “Pure Sex Radio” and call their hotline for help for woman. God has freedom for u but u are going to have to go after it harder than u have anything else in your whole life! You are worth it!!! Praying for u! God loves u!!!
I struggle with porn addiction, food disorder, shopping addiction and depression. I’ve been a “Christian” for some years now but I am so ashamed to come to God because I always end up back in those addictions. I don’t have a single friend to talk to, my own family feels like strangers. I am completely alone. Suicide is always at the back of my mind. I am not happy but find temporal happiness or pleasure when I ran to those addictions. I want to stop soooo bad but every time I try, I crash even harder. I know it’s wrong, but I have lost the power to control these urges. God, please forgive me, give me the strength to get out of these addictions. Someone have mercy, please help me. Or tell me a number I can get help. I am so far from away God, I feel like He doesn’t lessen to me anymore. FeeI empty. I am mentally physically, emotionally destroyed.

Hi Denisse, I just saw your 2 messages, from a few hours ago. I too am a Christian, and am feeling quite depressed today/tonite, I have a lot going on. But, I do believe there is never a coincidence when God is involved, so maybe it’s good that I was looking at this website so I could read your message while here! All these things are A TRICK OF THE ENEMY! Failure, emptiness, shame, & feeling like God isn’t there for us, none of those are from God, but are lies from the enemy! There’s a song by Casting Crowns (Go on YouTube and check it out), I think it’s called “Voice of Truth”? Anyway, the words are awesome! It talks about voices that even mock us, but then there’s the Voice of Truth! And we know that’s God’s voice. You know that one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is Self-Control, so we have to activate that self-control, for whatever weaknesses we have, anger, addictions, etc. IF we fail, then just call on God and try again. Reading HIS Word really is a great medicine, too. So, even if you feel like you can’t move or even think correctly, just look at your Bible, or a sticky note with a Scripture, or even better, say a Scripture out loud, or even just call on the Name of Jesus, whatever you have the strength to do, and He will, and does hear! I’m praying for you, sister in the LORD, and I pray He comforts you, and “holds you up with His righteous right hand!” (That’s a Scripture in Isaiah) God Bless you tonite! L.
Thank you Pastor Bryan for all you do in this site, may God continue to bless and use you as you seek Him daily as your guide. “GBWY”
I am not in a good place as I have recently discovered my fiance is a sex, porn and masturbation addict. We run a ministry together that specifically fights to stop the sexualization of woman in Entertainment Media so me and everyone in the ministry are hurt and betrayed. Can Jesus really heal someone from sexual addiction/lying/double life if they truly want healing? After he could lie no longer because I discovered layers of lies over these past 2 weeks he flew himself to Seattle to attend “Every Man’s Battle” workshop for men in ministry who have been hiding their sex addiction. Is their healing for me? I am confused and broken and fluctuate from not being able to get out of bed, to feeling self hatred, obsessing over what the truth is to hope to hoplessness. Is there any online Christian counselor I can speak to? I went to S-Non and met with my pastor who was doing our pre-marital counseling and so did he but I feel such dispair. He as offered to take a lie detector test to give me full disclosure to help my mind stop torturing me. I want to act out in sinful ways to hurt him but so far have just steeped myself in scripture, prayer, online sermons and sex addiction education but the tug to sin myself to cope with this rejection and trauma is present and real. Thank you for your insights. Blessings to you.
Don’t worry yourself at all, put all your attention in serving GOD. All of your problems will go away, I promise you. Cut him off, not emotionally but sexually. If he truly loves you he will see his mistakes, and will treat you like a woman of GOD. Lying to you is expected, but lying or being dishonest to GOD is something that you “MUST” take as a sign to carefully reevaluate that person.
I am a man that sold drugs, lusted for women/ porn, smoked, robbed, and did things that I still wonder if GOD will forgive me for. GOD put fear in me that made me stop everything cold turkey, and turn to GOD’s will with haste. GOD put fear in me, to either do as commanded by laws, statues, and commandments or be put to death. I shook for 2-3 weeks, that was the fear GOD put in me.
Please Sister don’t be fooled we men will do as we please until everything starts to fall apart, then we start begging and panicking. He did what he wanted to do, only children are ignorant. That’s why he hid it from you. Go to GOD, GOD will either make it right or replace it with something better.
Give it time to show that the problem is fixed, don’t rush into his demands. I am a man I know how we think, and we are all sex addicts. Threw GOD we learn to control it. Think of it this way as easy as it is to be faithful to him, same apply to him lusting for no one but you. If your not enough for him now, you wont be when your married. Trust me, or put him to test.

ps: If it feels that prayer is not enough, prayer coupled with fasting, and feverish worship will do the trick. GOD will clear your mind trust me, GOD defies nature in my life all the time.
I intend to pray, and wait to hear from the Lord. To be honest, right now all I have is principles–I’m sure you’ve already heard from others. You need more. Let’s see what happens.
With Love, ybic, Bryan
GodisLove,
I’ve been thinking. I can offer little– certainly no life-changing words. I can think about just three things. 1. Be convinced that you are His child. This has been locked in, nothing will change that fact. 2. Get even closer to the Church. There is a deep reservoir of wisdom, peace and joy set in place by the Holy Spirit. Latch on– a pastor, teacher, elder, deacon or a dear saint. 3. Double your times of worship, and the Word. Both are critical, especially now.
You can change no one. If things get any uglier then they are, you must separate. The discipline of God will be meeting your fiance shortly, if not already. Sexual addictions linger, hiding and popping out in the open from time to time. And usually they are much worse than he describes to you. Both his shame and his deceit must be dealt with. He has forfeited his right to privacy by his addiction, if he wants to stay in the ministry. He needs some brutal accountability.
And you need a friend. Or two. The enemy is close, but Jesus is closer still. Use the armor of God to stand. Ephesians 6:10-18 could be exactly what you need to now implement.
Love, ybic, Bryan (Brokenbelievers.com)
please someone pray with me, i’ve got a lot going on and a lot to deal with, including really awful outbursts of anger which are hurting my fiance and my relationship, and 10 year long battle with an eating disorder, and newer medical issues within the past year. as well as having tried dealing with sexual abuse on my own without counseling and pushing god away. as well as having been in an abusive relationship, and losing my dad, nonni, and uncle.
these problems, besides the medical ones, have been a long time coming and i need someone to pray with and talk to, my engagement is falling apart as well as the rest of my life. i fear that if i don’t get help now, things with progress and never stop.
I will pray for you, but you have to get yourself away from your love ones if you can’t control yourself from hurting them. They might not understand, and that might mess things up to the point that it can’t be repaired.
I will give an ear, as well as advice.

i need prayer, im addicted to gay porn on the internet and struggling with homosexuality also abuse self anally with foreign objects.
I will pray. You used the term, “addicted.” Typically addictions have to be replaced with bigger and stronger ones. I would suggest an addiction to the Lord, through worship and the Word! You seem to be honest and sincere, but it really isn’t enough to bring real change. If the internet is a vital to your sin, “pluck” it out decisively and irrevocably.
“And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.” Matthew 18:9
This is a critical time for the church. We need disciples who can walk in purity and prayer. You have been called, now walk to Him.

I will bring your needs, to God’s throne. I know you’re in a difficult spot. You need to grab the Bible and read. My favorite passage is Luke 15, start there. Also Psalm 23, 103, and 139 are very good.
ybic, Bryan
Hello Ruiz Family,
Your words my dear are soooo familiar and from one who knows the pain to the other, I PROMISE You it will be resolved!! You know of Gods power so pull DEEP into that which you know and surrender yourself and the situation’s to Him and leave it with Him. Know from there that God has not created you to be a victim but a voice of victory to all who suffer as many have
Ms. L RUIZ,
Forgive me I was in the middle of a reply to your request and somehow lost the site, I came back and started an additional reply came back to be certain it was posted n ….don’t see it but I hope you did receive it. As I stated I will check in with you and/or hope to see you on YouVersion. “GBWY”
Hey Lizbeth, I understand your pain, being there too. I do not know if you are still on that relationship but I want to tell you there is HOPE. God is faithful and He wont leave you alone. If you see this comment and want to talk fell free to email me at tania_sg_@hotmail.com
I am very most impressed with a lady spell caster who brought my husband home after a divorced signed by my husband a week ago. this spell lady got all the details correct from the situation to the physical descriptions and did a spell that made my husband nullify the divorce. Word are not enough to appreciate this spell lady powers I will continue to thank you for reuniting my family forever.
I would bravely recommend this lady to anyone experiencing family trauma, her email is priestessifaa@yahoo.com. i met her through a friend that she has helped before.
In situations where u have enemies the bible says u r suppose to treat them like u treat the ppl u love n leave everything in His hands. No need to do harm to ppl if u r Christian just tell ur Daddy/ Christ. He got it.
my name is Shenell Johnson and i am asking for prayer for my fiance Joseph banks he has suffered a massive stroke and the doctors are saying it doesnt look good we have been together for ten years and have 2 kids and a baby on the way I am scared I dont what i will do with out him my kids adore him and so do I want to lose him I pray that he makes it out of this and I know God is the ultimate healer and he has the last say Im just scared right now.
I just need someone to talk to on the phone. I feel sooooo alone at times. I know God hears me. My friends it seems are no friends at all bc when I’m in need like now, their never around. My family r well known in my community so I can’t talk to ppl I know bc all the info will get back to my family smh. It’s so frustrating not being able to express myself when I need a shoulder to cry on. I’m always there for everyone else but NOBODY is EVER there for me. I’ve thought of suicide b4 just bc I wanted to spite ppl but that’s stupid! I’m not risking a chance in hell. I hate that my family is known like they are bc like now I got issues with them n I can’t talk to nobody I know about my feelings bc they put my parents on an unnecessary pedal stool n look up to them so if I say something negative about them it could ruin my family n I’ll be the blame smh. I’m soooo frustrated too. My mom is crazy abrasive n rude n I can’t tell her that bc I live w/them bc I’m in college. She’s just smh I need somebody to talk to for real!!!! Help please???
Sister, GOD is there all you have to do is go to him. I will give an ear, as well as help on advice.

I am trying to be a good christian, but its hard cuz i live with an abusive man for 6 years now. We are not married, and i refuse to marry him because he steals from my purse, lies to me, and does unbelievable wrong to me all the time. i tried leaving him several times and then i go back.. I have some feelings for him but i lost all the love i had felt for him. Please dont tell me to leave him and be with GOD, cuz that is what i really NEED to do but I just cant. I want him to change. He is only this way when he is drunk. When he is sober he is a wonderful man. His soberness is what kept me with him this long..
can anyone please help me? Im being intimidated, threatened and harassed by my landlord and the neighbors at my apartment complex. I looked at my tenants rights handbook already so i know my rights. I just need to break my lease because the manager breached the contract.She came into my apartment without 24 hr notice, twice…. Legal aid in my city refuses to help me. They said they were not assisting anyone at this time. Who can i call for help? who plz??? I dont have money for a tenant lawyer….Im a female all alone. I just rented from this apartment complex 1 month ago, and signed a years contract lease..
My Christian husband is verbally abusive and critical of me. He has terrible jealousy problems. No particular person just imagined. Nothing I do pleases him. He wants me to fix our marriage and I cannot do that by myself. Wont go to counseling. Says hes. Fine. Its me that’s the problem. Please pray for us. Losing all hope. Even discourages me from attending women’s Bible studies. And he wont go to any men’s Bible groups. How can a Christian man behave this way. Prayers desperately needed.
Hi please help me
I have a tripled life,married for 15 years in n.y
Divorce my husband paul,but still leaving with him.
Get married to b leaving in canada,go to see him every 2 weeks.
And this fiancé tom living Boston,i want to end the relationship but both men 1and 3told me they loved me,but my plan is to move to Canada,i really do know how to tell them about 2,i lie to 3men and I’m really sorry for my innocent 1husband u really think I’m a angel,cause now im 3weeks pregnant .but i don’t know the father.please I’m getting crasy.
HI, I don’t know it all but can say this book helped alot. Battle field of the mind by Joyce Meyers. Stay in the word it is power. make positive choices, avoid negative people. I will pray for you. You will make it. Dawn
Im at my wits end. My husband has ruined us financially, we lost our home because he has been and continues to be finacially reckless. He won’t listen to reason! He has landed us in judgements, lied and also cheated 3 times. Our 4 children fight amongst each other 24/7 and it is killing me. I don’t know what else to do. I’m lost, broken and just tired of even trying anymore!
He has broken the marriage covenant your free to divorce. Get a lawyer get out with the kids and let him pay child support. Run to Jesus not another man. Put God 1st kids 2nd and work 3rd. Be disciplined and stay in the word teach your kids daily in the word go to a real spirit filled church. God Bless Dawn
This may seem harsh, but God has been working full-time, on and for you. His lessons are rarely easy, or comfortable. “At wits end” can be a good thing, if it leads you to Him. I wish I had a Christian “magic wand.” But I don’t. All I can say is that you will find Him at His feet.

Praying for your family
I am tired of searching the internet for help. I am currently pregnant with my fourth child, and fighting the demonic prescence of deppresion. Im tired of this fight. None of my pregnancies have been joyful. I had my first two out of wedlock, to which, my grandmother, who abused me most of my childhood, called me a whore, on her deathbed for. I had my third, in spite of my husband not wanting another child, and consulting with the revrend, of the church we attended, im who informed him it woud be best, if I aborted. To which the other christians I was around cosigned saying the hour was to late to have children. And this pregnancy, comes almost 10 years later, when I finally started to reclaim some of my identity, out of an abusive, unfaithful, unspirtually edifying, horrible marriage of 10 years, only to get pregnant at a time when I least wanted a child. I have been abused, abandoned, forsaken, in everyway I can think of most of my life. by unbelievers and ”believers”. I need seriouse help, but I trust NOONE.
I dont want the baby inside of me to be affected by this. All I want to do is provide a good quality of life for my children, spiritually, physically, and financially. But I am drowning at that. I have raised my children, pretty much by myself, without much phisical help since I was 15. I am burnt out! I hate doing this by myself! I wonder why God is so silent. Where is my help? I feel as if my life has very little value, and I fight that feeling each day. I hate myself, but im afraid to die. Though somtimes I feel close to death in my spirit. I dont know how to reach God. I need him to move!
Make my face to shine again. I cant do this. Please help me father in heaven. I dont want to live this way anymore. Why am I so weak?
Forgive those who hurt you. That does not mean what they did to you was write. Just that we need to let go of unforgiveness and that will set you free.praying for you:-)
I truly understand you! I feel your pain. I’ve been pregnant twice and I was fully depressed both times. I had no support from anyone. I wanted to end my marriage but I came across a website Charlene cares and with the help of God my marriage wad saved. I also was led to a grate church that really helped me get out of theg hole I was in. The Potter’s house. Look for one near you aplease look o nly to
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2
Seriously?! Exodus international?
Reasonably so. I was in ministry for three years in San Francisco, through a storefront church and ministry. Exodus, controversial as it was, touched a lot of hearts of friends. It may not be for everyone, that’s the way it goes with ‘niche-type’ ministries.
This links page does not mean I endorse the ministry fully. If you wish, I invite any alternative. Do you know of another work that I could add? Zip me a note and I will seriously consider it.
(This page gets 40-50 hits a day.)

A LOT OF YOUR NUMBERS DON’T WORK!!!!!!!
Sorry, but I’m trying to update them. This list gets 25-35 hits a day. I desperately want good info up. Thanks for noticing though.

Hello I need advice I have looked on the internet trying to find it.I’m a teen. About a couple months ago I made a promise to god not to have sex until merraige. Even before that i have been dating this guy I love him and i want to be with him for the rest of my life but we are well were dating for a year I didn’t even tell my mom. That’s not even the worst part the worst part is me and my boyfriend would this is so emvarrasing we would dry hump and I started to want more and more each time and each time I would come home crying repenting and asking god for forgivness but i kept doing it we went further and further every time but we never got to the point till we were completely naked. We got far and i felt horrible so I broke up with him and tried to live a pure life but I still loved him and he loved me so we started talking and it happened again will god forgive me after all of this I need help:,(.
God will forgive you. Make sure you both are never alone together always in public when together so temptation can’t be fullfilled. The word says to flee youthful lust. If the church you go to has a youth ministry confide in the pastors wife not the male pastor. Let your boyfriend know that God comes first if he feels the same he should confide in the youth pastor (male). Both of you should have committed walks with God thru Jesus if he does not break up with him and fall in love all the more with Jesus. What ever we loose for Christ sake is gain and brings him Glory and that is why we are here. Don’t stop and reason in your mind just obey and leave the outcome to Jesus. God Bless
Nope. From my experience, God hates anyone who doesn’t know how basic grammar works. Enjoy Hell.
I’m very sorry. I know my grammar sucks sometimes. But I can’t afford an editor/proof writer. So I try very hard to do it myself, with miserable results. But I do try to honor Him in all that I write. Sometimes we may jump to conclusions when we see something that really irritates us.
you’re bother in Chrst,

i used to practice witchcraft in my early 20′s i was informed of some news that ended that life for me until tonight an overwhelming urge came over me to do a harmful spell towards some1 that i know is a snake in my life i have prayed for the feelings to be removed but so far it has not happen another spell i want to cast is better finances what should i do
I think I know where you’re coming from… At least partially. I, too, practiced witchcraft some years ago. There was a time when i thought i could blend Wicca & Christianity in my life without conflict. I was wrong. Only a select few are chosen by God to wield such powers(such as Jesus’ apostles). God & Christ forbid us to practice such things because in the wrong hands (even well-meaning hands) they can do more harm than good. If u have considered doing harm to others with spell craft, chances are that u r not 1 of the chosen few who should wield such power. If u are not certain that ur ability to wield the craft comes direct from Christ, chances are it comes from Satan. I’m not insinuating that u worship Satan, only that he is crafty enough to deceive & use us for his purposes without us realizing it. So my advice is to stay away from the practice of witchcraft/magic & trust that when you are doing God’s will, God will provide. In closing, let me just say that i have been through a great deal of suffering in my life & just recently realized that it was all necessary to mold me into the devoted servant of Christ that i see myself as today. A lot of it was character-building experiences. So I think God abandons no one. He is giving us what we need when we need it….& sometimes what we think we need isn’t really what we need.
Hi, everything for me is going down hill, I just
Don’t know how to come about, first I have
A disable son who been diagnose with cerebral palysa and epilesy seizure at night
He cries and I seem to not know what is wrong it get very hard especially when I’m working 12 hours a day 7 days straight secondly, I have a 13 year old daughter who has an attitude out this world how can I get her in line. Last I am seeing someone who don’t seem to appreciate all the good thing I done he worrying about the long hours I do and telling me I sleep to much and he constantly checking the phone log online failing number back try to see who I’ll been talking with someone please help I’m lost
I need advice
Hi Shan, I came across your post looking for help in my time of trouble and it made mine seem so small. What your dealing with is alot. I will do my best to give you advice I’m no expert. If I was in your situation I would reach out to the organizations that help parenst with special needs children they have volunteers to give you help. As far as your daughter goes part of it is the age/ hormones nothing you can do about that. Be loving and firm with her, be her parent not her friend. Make sure shes eating right and getting enough sleep. Very important that you tell her your proud of her for any small thing she does. Ex. thank you for getting up and going to school. Tell her she is smart, beautiful and that you love her. Let her know that you wish things were’nt so hard and you had more to give her but your doing the best you can. Spend at least 20 min. 2 times a week just letting her talk to you and not giving your opinion unless she ask. Let the pastor in your church know you need help and prayer. If the guy your seeing is not a 100% devoted mature chrisitian dump him. Make sure you spend time in the word 5 min. a day if that’s all you have. Put on praise music all the time. Make sure your eating and sleeping properly. Speak the word all day and don’t say the things you don’t want. God has not forgotten you. We have a High Priest that is aquainted with our suffering. Do all you do unto the Lord. Do it in his strength. Those that wait upon the Lord will mount up with wings like eagles… You have made it this far. The devil is a liar. I will be praying for you. God Bless Dawn
hello sir, id like to ask for your advice. my mom sufferers from depression. acording to my dad, she always has. i feel i may be the only one who has the pull to bring her to God, to save her. im trying to get her to go to church with me, but she says she might not like it. i did manege to get her to agree to go to a church cafe with me. i relay hope she likes it. i’d do anything to save her. im trying realy hard to help her, but its starting to take its toll on me. im so nervious and scared all the time, and i feel i cant talk about it to anyone. only you and my dad. please, id do anything for my family, and i was hopeing you could help. help me show her the way to happiness. God has done amazing things in my life and i wont him to do the same for her. if you have any advice, any at all, i would be very apreciative. this stuff isnt easy for me, you see. talking about it is realy painful for me, but im willing to try. thank you for listening. God bless/
Don’t take her to church. Pray for guidance and prepare to be bold without intimidating your mom. YOU take the lead and do things with her that she enjoys. Be the light and the life for her. Remind her of the light she exudes, and light it Once again with her. Take a different path lead by you.
I am saddened that there is no universal help around the globe.. I am canadian and there does not seem to be a 24-7 phone access for religion let alone mental illness here .. how am I to know what is right and what is wrong, what is manmade or made by Him (as far as religious practices go) Wow would it be easy if there was group meeting or something here but there is nothing in rural parts of my province :’(
Hello there. This is a problem more and more of us share as the world has gone farther and farther from God. We hear so many things from “the world” now– most of it encouraging us to do whatever feels good at the time. The problem with this worldview is that it eventually leads to our destruction and much pain and unhappiness because the “if it feels good, do it” worldview is destructive and, in the end, counter to what God has called us to live. Believe me, I’ve been in both camps, and a life of holiness and service to others is so much more rewarding than constant self-gratification. Listen, it stands to reason that if there is a God (and look around us, all the systems that govern the universe and the systems of checks and balances even within our own frail bodies–the codes that govern all life point to a divine creator no matter how hard atheists resist that obvious sign) that He would reveal himself in some way to us. Atheists like to say that there is no evidence of God, but nothing could be farther from true! The whole story of God revealing Himself to first a man, then to a family, then to a tribe, then twelve tribes, a nation, and finally to the world as He Himself came down to live among us. God, not being confined as our understanding, both existed still as the all-powerful entity that governs all life at the same time as He existed in the body of a man, Jesus Christ. The evidence that all this is true is overwhelmingly well-documented. The Bible–both the Old Testament and the New– is the most widely attested-to, witness-based historical account in the history of mankind. Yes, The Bible was “written” by men called prophets through the inspiration from God, and it contains many different kinds of literature–poetry, history, laws both dictated by God and some greatly embellished by communities of people (which is why many non-basic laws that applied to the Jewish people of old no longer apply). At any rate, as soon as a person begins a journey toward knowledge of the one true God and of His Son, Our Lord who came down for us, you will then have the shades that cover right from wrong lifted. You’ll see the world in a different way and as you draw close to God, recognize clearly the things that are good and evil, and be drawn to the good. It’s not an easy road, especially in these days, but I promise you it’s the only truly fulfilling life. God bless and I will pray for you.
um, hi. im not realy sure what to do or say. i keep trying to wright this letter, but i keep getting to nervous and scared to send it. but i realy need some help, i need to tel someone. im always so depressed, like it just comes out of no wear, and im so afraid to tell anyone. i dont wont them to worry about me. now, my mom has started to worry me. i relay wont to help her,to make her happy, but i dont know how, or what to do. i dont what to lose her. i just need some help. ive seen how your help others and how you’ve delt with such feelings. i have to go now, before i delete this. any help at all would be nice, or just the conformation that i told someone the truth, and that its not just in my head. i wrote a letter erlyer, but when i tried to send it, i realy hadent typed it at all. i realy hope that dident happen, but i cant tell.
Oh dear one, how much the Father loves you. Just as you are. IDK what to say. But “practice” turning your heart in to His care. (Practice means “repetition.”)
If things get too wild in your world, you are just an email away from me. I really don’t know what to say, but I can pray.
ybic, Bryan
lord bless you, sir. thank you for your kind words, it relay means alot to me. its nice to know how easy it is to find you. i realy hope that i will be able to turen my parents and myself to god more, and your parer is much appreciated. god bless.
Thank God for you, dear sir. Just knowing a list like this exists has done wonders for the funk I’ve been in for the past week. Sometimes I find myself wondering if God is listening, and then from time to time He reminds me that yes, he is, and that he hears all prayers–even if sometimes the answer is “no.”
Again, thank God for you, sir.
What you describe is a considerable darkness. It is quite black. It’s quite evil and very lost. The darkness simply isn’t alike anything you have confronted before. You dear one, must understand that he
is lost, unless God interveness.
But the Holy Spirit is with you. Keep surrendering to Him, and all should be okay. Believe you me, the certain one you love, will come around
Believe you me, there are way too many issues right now. But they are focused on you. Face all that is centered on you directly, and all will become well.
The lifestyle you mention is easily destroyed, but your real addiction to it is not. Trust me. From one felon to another. You an never will never experience a evil this dark if you choose not to face it.
a serious issue with angen I thinl situation I’m in ( being a convicted felon behind selling drugs) and how hard I’ve tried to leave that lifestyle only to have my spouse continue with the same behavior ( hes selling) it makes me so angry. I have tried to let god work it out in our marriage,but I feel god has just protected him and abandoned me. I wish I could be more christ like in this situation…so please pray that god shows me how to turn from my anger…
Four things in common. They’re US only. And in the UK we don’t have that support. Christianity surely shouldn’t be cut off by those boundaries.
I’m going to make a difference about the fact that there is no support for suicidal christians. I’m going to push through all this horror I’m trapped in, and I know that God’s going to use me. I was never helped, and I’m going to help. Thank you, God. I’m going to actively trust you every day. Thank you for seeing me as someone who could do something.
That same impulse led me to introduce Brokenbelievers. It’s like the Sahara Desert on the internet for Christians with mental illness. My occasional urges to murder myself is absorbed by Jesus, and His delightful presence recovers me and upholds me.

Please pray for my fiance. He is a new believer but he is afraid tje devil has his soul. I know god and I know my fiance. I told him no because he wants to witness to people and he believes. I read psalms 23 to psalms 27 with him. He’s always lost faith when the devil comes at him too strong but he don’t want to this time. Am I right or wrong
Dear Pastor Rowe, could you please pray for me for various issues. I’ve been told I’m suffering from an anxiety disorder. I am subject to what could be called a persistent sense of unreality or mild faintness; exacerbated by being outside and especially among crowds, and there has been much fear and panic. I’ve also been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, or low thyroid production, for which I’m taking medication. All things considered, it’s hard for me to be out; and I’ve not been to church in a long time. It’s been about three months now that I’ve suffered from the strange sense of unreality. Please pray for me. Thank you and bless you. Carl.
Of course I will. These our tough issues and you wouldn’t get a lot from your Synthroid. I have exactly the same issues with anxiety and social isolation. It’s been over a month since I have been to church (and I’m one of pastors).
I do relate very much, with the anxiety, and depression as well. Write when you can. My personal email is flash99603@hotmail.com.

hi pastor rowe, i am glad i found your site. i am a christian of 25 years with TBI from a car accident, PTSD, OCD agoraphobic and i have cardiomyopathy and COPD so I can not take psychiatric medicines right now plus IBS and Hypothyroidism. I am sick all the time, without energy and depression kicks me in the butt from morning to night. i was abused and molested by my dad since 5, gang raped at 16, domestic volience for 9 of my 11 year marriage to husband one, husband 2 came after car accident and raped and abused my five children, got that marriage annuled and put him in jail, then husband 3 walked out on me and 7 children after my heart attack and 5 years worth of emotional and verbal abuse. he felt caring for a weak wife and seven kids was too much. thus my deep rooted hatred of people, mostly men. I have a guardian who has literally sacrificed his whole life to demonstrate the love of christ to me. i have a church family that goes out of their way to support my children. but no one understands me. they think i embelish, that depresssion is a manipulative tool to get people to do things for me, that my health concerns are made up, I’m delusional or paranoid, I am sure you heard it all before. i requested a service dog to help me and i was told it would be another mouth to feed and i don’t need it. i am at the point of giving up on life completely. In august i laid out a plan to kill myself and told my guardian so much. i was in the hospital for three months for mental and physical problems. i had no visitors, no phone calls and lots of excuses. Once home i felt like an alien. I could go on and on but you don’t need to hear any of this. my hold on life is dwindling. I want to go home then live this life of being cursed. Because of hurricane irene, i had flooding in my home. I lost seventy % of my belongings, 25 years worth of life. Church freinds came and hauled it away in trucks. I listened to people say it was too much, I needed to clean out my house. It was like watching my life get peed on, but you can’t say that. Anyway, thankyou for being here for us.
Please, dear one, be fully at home here. There are almost 1000 posts to choose from, and I have another site at psalmslife.com.
You have traveled long and hard, it maybe time to bury yourself in grace and worship. As believers, we operate out of seasons. Perhaps you maybe leaving and entering a new one.
I am just an email away. flash99603@hotmail.com.

like a lot im definately am going through a rough time. my mom is gone to the emergency room on an ambulance.she has arthritis,diabetes and uses a walker and is on oxygen,i tried to encourage her but she dismisses it. of course im concerned,but im trying to remain strong.i just turned 37,but its been a rough year earlier this year my grandmother died and my x wife and i called it quits.im seeking employment,want my own place and a new partner.god has said man shouldnt be alone.ive tried to reach out to people but were often times rejected,when i ran into decent people it seemed that either i had to leave eventually or they did.ive been misunderstood by many,yet understood by few. im a strong person,but even i can use a support system.
Life can be savage, and quite sad. But you already know this. All I can say is that you must turn your life to the Lord, quite completely and most fully. His presence in you, will renew and alter your circumstances. I’m glad you posted here.

Am deeply affected by everything on this blog/ we all think only we have a crisis and then you get a glimpse of anothers’ life and the words there reached into my room with love and grace.. kathyPastor Bryan, my youngest child aged 10, born blind teaches me evvery day to look beyond,into the hug of God…
i myself have been thru a long illness with no hope at all, except the naked prayers that went from my room to His.
thisis coming out in a jumble of joy, cuz I just know when we pray for each oher, there is no power that can stand against that.
much love in Christ, Ray
I should have finished with, my name is Kate. I’m related to you by spirit and I’ll be sitting here praying – hoping that someone ..somewhere calls me. I don’t care if it’s a monkey who just happened to learn how to speak English, anything would do. 810-820-2011
I called probably ten numbers on this page. It’s nearly three in the morning and I’m on hold before going to a mental hospital on Monday. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to call a hotline. I guess I don’t know the meaning of the term. The national suicide hotline referred me to a local number, the local number put me on hold, that number then told me to try another number, the next number suggested I search the internet for twenty-four hour numbers, I end up on this page full of numbers…and I’m still sitting here asking God why it’s so hard to just have someone stop and talk to me. I can tell you from first hand experience that those numbers up there…don ‘t do a whole lot of good in a pinch. It shouldn’t say hotline anywhere on this page. Pine Rest is a mental hospital and that number is for intake. The majority of the rest are closed for business hours. I read your advice to that woman up there…and just shook my head. I have an illness too and when I’m sick it’s not because I’m not being positive, trusting God or out of his presence. My flesh means I have flesh related issues. God is here with me right now, I’m still in pain, I still want to go home and I’m still tired. I don’t even know why I’m saying anything at all really. I guess I just wanted to say that there are a lot of people searching the internet for a human being to speak with on the telephone in an hour of utter pain and this page is a bunch of dead ends and answering machines. I hope the next person who comes along has the patience to dial numbers all night.
Yes “hot” might be an overstatement. Perservere dear one. The Father will stick to you like a magnet on you ‘fridge.’ You are a jewel to Him. Let me know please, how it unfolds.
Bryan
Thanks Pator Bryan,your words and prayers are encouraging. Please Pray if it is God’s will to stay in my circumstances I am now. My husand puts a roof over my head and food to eat, and takes me to the Dr. when I need to go. He povides for me financially. But hardly a touch or encouragement. am I wrong or unthankful. We have been married for 30 years.
Sincerely, Kathy
I will, dear one. The Lord is the only one that can decypher this other issues. So much of this tension is so close to the heart. Decisions in this must be made so carefully.
Brynan, I need to talk with you. none of the other lines. I am at the end. I had many MENTAL ISSUES AND CHRONIC ILLNESS. I just saw my DR. again. More phisical treatment. I ‘m tired. I have been hospitolizesd 3 0r 4 times for mental issuses and close to 50 times for physical issues, which the Drs always found some physical issue was found.. I was sexulay abused as a chilld. I was raped at 18. a man broken in my bathroom and raped me. I have tried to move on for years. I know something happened that I can not rememmber I was beaten and my husband tried to kill me 3 times. I am a child of God . Why can’t I let it go. I held a gun to my head tonight and as I fired it went through it went through the door. I do not trust help. They only make it worse. I trust no one but you and
so please help me with words and prayer no one else can I trust you. All the people in m,y life who sais I can trust them has done horrible things to me I try to forget. I don’t know what to do any more . I love you, your sister in Christ, Kathy
God. I can’t believe I took this so far. I do not wish to die , but just to just have some to listen to hug mr to talk to me and really care. I do not have that around me I feel . Please pray for me. I want to serve the Lord. Why can’t I get pass this? I fell you are my Pastor I read you all the time and I love hoe God speaks to you. I just want to be accepted and loved, your sister. Kathy
Dear one,
So much ugliness happens to us. We simply can’t avoid this. It is evil and dark. But, if we live like the past is the present, we will confuse things. In order to keep our sanity, we must step through this. The wounds that have been inflicted on you are atrocious, and beyond reason. But there is nothing outside the deep grace of God. He loves you passionately. His deep intention is for you to understand this.
I most certainly will pray for you, Kathy. I will hold you up, and will insert you into His deep presence. He fully intends for you to pass through this, and to shake off all that is dark and ugly. You are meant to be His child, and there is absolutely nothing that can really diminish this.
Trust in Him, fully and beyond reason.
YBIC,
Bryan
