Our daughter has just one semester left in college, and I can tell she's beginning to panic because she doesn't have any idea what she's going to do after graduation. She'll be home over the holidays, but how can I cheer her up and help her get over her anxiety?
If you could make just one New Year's resolution for the coming year, what would it be? I used to make a long list of New Year's resolutions every year, but I only got discouraged because I never kept them so I've decided to concentrate on just one this year.
Our son has had a lot of problems in his marriage, and recently he's been drinking far too much. He even got arrested the other day for drunk driving. But when we try to talk with him he just gets angry and tells us to mind our own business. Is there anything we can do to help him?
Is it true that Jesus said we will always have poverty in the world? What did He mean by that? Does this mean we shouldn't even try to help people who are poor? I thought Christians were supposed to help people in need.
I'm 10 years old and I want to believe in God, but how can I believe in something I can't see?
I wish I could help my nephew. He was severely injured in a car accident a few years ago and ended up with some serious disabilities. But his real problem is his attitude. He's bitter and angry at God for doing this to him, and sometimes he even says he wishes he'd died.
I know scientists say the world might come to an end in a few billion years when the sun finally burns out or something, but is this what the Bible means when it talks about the end of the world?
I don't think people realize how hard it is being a single mother. My two boys will both be teenagers in a few years, and I worry all the time about what might happen to them then. Please pray for me.
I had a painful back injury several years ago, and now I'm afraid I'm getting addicted to my pain medicine because I'm needing more and more of it. If my boss finds out, I'm afraid I'll lose my job, but I know I need help. Will God help me get off this medicine?
Maybe you can help me understand my cousin. She was seriously hurt in an auto accident about a year ago, and she'll never fully recover from her injuries. Yet she's always cheerful and says God has been very good to her. How can she say such a thing? If that happened to me I'd be angry at God, frankly. How could He let this happen?
I read a book attacking religion recently written by an atheist, and it convinced me to believe in atheism as the only logical way to live. God doesn't exist, and the sooner we admit it, the better off we'll be. I respect your sincerity, but sincerity isn't enough.
I always knew my husband liked to gamble, but when he died a few months ago we discovered he had piled up tens of thousands of dollars in debt because of his gambling. It has left us almost impoverished. How could he have done this to us? Didn't he care about us?
