Case 444
I want to know why God won’t answer me. For over a month I’ve been suffering from stomach pain and gastrointestinal distress. I was so miserable that I called the pastor to pray for me. That same day I decided to give my heart to God. I thought that everything would get better. I did get some relief... but I am still not completely well. Sometimes I tell God to either heal me or go [...]
Case 443
Many years ago my parents were murdered.... The scene continues to pass through my mind, and I ask God to help me forget those memories.

Case 440
About a year ago I was in a relationship with a girl and had plans to marry her, but it all fell apart.

I know I shouldn’t fall in love with girls that are so young, [...]
Case 439
I am sixteen years old and just graduated from high school.... I come from a low-income family who are smothering me with their constant advice that I should work, even though they know that I can’t; but they also want me to study what they prefer, and not what I am passionate about, which is psychology. I don’t feel supported and, if I get a scholarship because of my good grades, I’m not sure if [...]

I live with my mother and stepfather. Eight months ago I began taking inappropriate pictures of myself and sending them to my stepfather’s two brothers.

I am very sorry, and would like to know what I can do to [...]
