Hi! Can you please pray for me? :) It's about my grades:( There's only a week left till the finals. I have a D in both chemistry and geometry:( Im trying really hard and I don't want to fail. I need to do really good on the finals and at least get a C in both to be able to pass:( Im an A student and idk how I let my grades slip this year. I'm struggling to get them up:( i also dont want to disappoint my parents. Please and thank you! It means a lot to me!

Yeah, I’ll definitely pray for you!  I’d encourage you to pray while you study too, to ask God for help understanding and re-learning the material.  Let me know how the Finals go!

Hi.. I know this is kind of weird, but can you pray for me? I've been having alot of problems lately and I don't really know what to do... One of my main ones is I'm a cutter and I don't know how to stop. Also im trying to strengthen my relationship with god because ive been living apart from him for a long time. Anyway, is it ok? I mean if you don't want to it's fine, I'd just really appreciate it. If you do, my name's Camila... Just to be specific :)

I will definitely be praying for you, Camila.  And no worries (:  People ask me to pray for them a lot.  No weirdness!

I really hope that you get closer to God and find security and satisfaction in Him as I have.  I understand from friends that cutting is a long, hard battle to fight, so you are in my prayers.  I hope that God is somehow using this pain to draw you closer to Him.  On the hard days, remember this prayer: “God do for me what I cannot do for myself.”  I think it will give you a lot of peace to know that God will help you through the hard times if you remember to pray to Him and ask Him for help.

Much luck!  You’re in my prayers and I’m sure my followers will pray for you too if they see this (:

    his merciful love couldn’t have dried up.
They’re created new every morning.
    How great your faithfulness!
I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over).
    He’s all I’ve got left.”

How would you help someone with masturbation and porn?

The best way to help them is to pray for them.

It really takes a personal revelation for someone to want to stop with sexual sins such as these.  If they believe in Jesus, you can appeal to their morality; they most likely know that it is a sin, but otherwise, you just have to let them know that you don’t approve of it and that you think they will regret the consequences later (I’ve heard that these things can come back to bite you when you marry).

Helping someone who desires to stop can be done by praying for them, supporting them, and encouraging them to share their struggles and triumphs with you.  Let them know that you’re there and that they can call you when they need more encouragement.

Just love the person.  Sometimes that means telling them something that they don’t want to hear to help them grow in virtue.  But it doesn’t mean tearing them down emotionally or spiritually.  If they desire no help, instead of making them feel guilty, meet them in the middle ground (activities that don’t compromise your own morals) and pray.  Jesus will take care of them and leading them to him can be a great way to help (invite them to church, give them a Christian CD, etc.).

Hope this helps!

Hi Paige - I read your blog and used your 13 Bible verses for girls to minister to my 10 year old girl Betty who was adopted from Ethiopia. I did not note any mention of Jesus Christ in your blog. Is Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life? May GOD continue to bless and keep you. Joel Hill (Waldorf, MD).

I’m glad you liked them.  Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life.  I think it’s just a temporary coincidence that my blog hasn’t mentioned Jesus recently; I will probably update my biography section to mention that since you brought that up.  May God bless you and your family too!

it’s fleeting

Fear the Lord.

Today, know that God cares about the things that concern you. He cares about the things that hurt you. He is close to the brokenhearted, and He wants to bring you peace and comfort. Turn to Him and receive His love. Let Him bring healing to your heart and restoration to your soul.

I thought tumblr should know that there is an Honors course at my college studying fandoms.

My best friend found out that I did something he doesn't approve of. And he's been ignoring me for almost two weeks now. It's absolute torture. I have to try so hard not to cry when I see him and I regret it so much. I just wish he'd talk to me again.... I was starting to like him as more than a friend :/ I'm becoming depressed

I’m very sorry you’re going through this and am praying for you.  Would you like advice from me?  Please message me again specifying because I don’t want to make this about myself and my personal tangent, but about you.

I love you and God loves you so much.  You will get through this hard time.  It is just a hiccup on the road to finding out God’s intended plan for you and living it out.  Please go to Him for comfort; God can help so much during hard times because He knows us better than anyone.

Does anyone want to talk?

I’m open to hearing about your struggles or triumphs.  Message me if you’d like!
