I need some christian advice?

Question

I hate the situation that I'm in (5 years now) Ward of the State because I'm not mentally able to take care of myself. I'm 23, male, and have big dreams I want to accomplish before I become old. I want to move away from a boring town called Augusta, GA to NYC or L.A. but I can't because the judge won't let me. I have no job. A special ED dipolma and that limits me from getting me a really much better jobs that others. My life sucks. How is God going to move in my life to release me from the judge so I can take of myself? I have a mental illness and keep asking God for healing in the mind, and want to be able to move to L.A. or NYC How can God do those things for me?

Answer 1

Can you think of anyone who would trade places with you?  You can serve God where you are and God can bless you where you are.  You write well seem very capable of succeeding in life.  If you have food, clothes, and shelter, you can be content.

Answer 2

you remind me of myself when i was younger

i was in special ed

i was told i had a mental illness

now im in med school

because i didnt believe what the judges and the teachers told me

i believed in myself  and didnt give up

persistence is the key

god helps those who help themselves,

my advice to you, don't ever give up

Answer 3

What makes you think you could survive in LA or NYC?  There are too many people there.  The smog (bad air) is terrible in LA and has been a long time.  Probably very bad in NY too.  So many cold selfish people.  Do you want to get lost in the crowd?  So, you think you'd have more chances on getting money?  Is that it?

I've had mental problems too but doing better since the Lord blessed me with a good apt that is so nice and the rent low.

But the thing about life and faith is this:  You have to abide in Christ really and truly in order to get to where you want to get or need to get.  Let's hope you want the will of God.  Pray for God's will earnestly, not your own will.  That way things will start moving at the right time.  actually, as soon as we pray with faith in the right ways, the hand of God starts moving on our behalf although we may not see the difference for awhile.  So, keep on trusting the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6

What kind of mental illness is it?  If schizophrenia, it will be very hard to get a job and keep it.  You might get it but keeping it would be harder.  However, the Lord wants to heal you and he will see you through and take you to a better place.  I believe that!

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all."  Ps. 34:19

"If you abide in me and I in you, you will ask what you will and it will be done for you."  John 15:7

Are you abiding in Christ truthfully?

Answer 4

Answer 5

i like answering in religion and spirituality

the questions always crack me up

Answer 6

Maybe you need to prove to the judge and yourself that you can achieve. Try to get a better job and see if you can do it. Just because it was said to you that you can't do better doesn't mean you can't try. I don't think nyc and La is good place to try, stay where you are and prove yourself.  

Answer 7

Have faith that Christ will set you free ...be patient ...use you time to study his word grow in his knowledge and he will use you for great things ....let him work with you ....there is nothing he can not do ...God bless you ....when i was young he took me from living on the streets.  

Answer 8

God can heal you, but he doesn't always do that...Paul asked three times for God to move a thorn in his flesh and God said no basically but reminded him that his grace IS suffecient....Don't be one sighted when you pray,,,pray for healing but also pray for grace (namely that God give you happiness where you are if he's not going to heal)...After Jesus cast a demon out of a man once, that man wanted to go with Jesus in the boat...Jesus told him to stay where he was and tell everyone what wonderful things the Lord had done for him....

He may heal you later, but has certain lessons and refining for you now in Augusta.....

Augusta's not really so bad...I lived there for 6 months and loved it....

Answer 9

When we ask God for things, we aren't supposed to order Him or put a time line on them. God does have a plan for you, and you will just have to wait it out to see what that plan may be. He's always right and always on time. God always knows what is best for us and He always blesses us with His best. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you.

Answer 10

Don't every give up.  I had a mental illness and God healed me instantly.  I am no longer on medication, I am back to work, love my job and He is blessing me.  Just put your whole heart and trust into Him, He will never fail you.  It may not happen the way you think it will, but He will do it.  Jesus came and died to heal all diseases, even mental illness!  What finally brought my disease to an end is when I got a Bible on DVD and listened to it every night, all night long while I was sleeping.  The word of God is powerful!  The fight to stay healed will be hard, satan does not want you to be free, but you can do it, just take it one day at a time.  If you ever need encouragement, write me.

Im sure serving the Lord is indeed what we are all here for on earth. Maybe He wishes for your personal service in a place that needs you. To serve God and have a personal relationship with Him is the greatest honor anyone can have.

Remember that what people want for themselves is not always the best for us, and it usually contradicts with what God wants for us, which is the best for us.
