To be perfectly honest and blunt, I'm tired of punishing my body. I'm tired of listening to platitudes. I'm tired of "spiritual" things in general. What I need is real life. I'm not a super Christian like you seem to be.
Dear HistoryPrincess:
"Spiritual things" are indeed a part of real life, just not one you're capable of witnessing with your eyes. Whether you believe it or not, there is a spiritual war going on right now between spiritual entities of good and evil and each is vying for your soul from another realm. Spiritual entities are not a figment of our imaginations or only a state of mind as the Bible tells us in...
Ephesians 6:12 -
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Pray to Jesus for protection against these entities. Their goal is destruction of not only your life, but your soul that will live on after your weakened and punished body has faded from this world. Don't give them the satisfaction of believing they've won your soul.
In the meanwhile, we will pray the same for you.
This might sound even more depressing, but go visit people in your area who you think might be living through worse conditions than yourself. I guaranty that your plight might actually serve as comfort to others and while you may not realize it, you will probably bring inspiration to someone less fortunate than yourself, which in turn might help you to feel better about your life and your situation. Become a volunteer somewhere. Doing for others is wonderful therapy for yourself and for others.
Sincerely,
Mya
