I am really lost. I am suffering from an illness, and have been for the last year. I’ve prayed and prayed - I’m so close to turning back to my old ways of new age and folk healing, but that is not of the Lord.

I am just struggling, every time I feel pain, it’s like I am being pushed away from the Lord. I am trying to accept this as my Job era, but I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to pray without healing.

Proverbs 3:5-6 may be helpful. I completely empathize with your position, it’s so frustrating when prayers go unanswered. I have to continually remind myself to put my trust in God even when I don’t understand His purpose.

I’ve been praying for healing for my daughter. God is more than able to heal her and he will when it is his will to.
Let’s trust him. He is forever faithful and will give joy through the pain. The alternatives don’t work and only cause pain.
Like Daniel’s friends said - he is able to deliver us but even if he doesn’t, we will still worship him

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

Sweaty post-workout question. If I finish a bike or run in the heat I am usually just pouring sweat for the next 15 or so mins. So I've gotten into the habit of just putting a towel or yoga mat down on the floor and laying/stretching until I am not going to throw sweat everywhere or step in to the shower and step out still sweating. Is there a better version of this maybe for recovery or even just not wasting time waiting?
