Fear, scare, ###

Anonymous · Oct 25, 2024

Hello, I feel sorry for this, but I like to spend a lot of time in the library but I go every 2 times a week and I try not to go to the same place..., the problem is that I am ashamed to go again or I am afraid, because they could investigate me... I am honestly a professional and I do not stain books or make noise, or talk like a crazy person, I tell you I am from a poor family and this makes those who work there as librarians miss me and if I see them rich, but I swear that what scares me the most is that they hurt me spiritually, that is, I start to think that I am abusing, or that I feel like the worst thing, I do not even need their books, because I have a laptop computer and a telephone and I only use headphones but I am healing because I find a lot of peace and tranquility and it helps me to repair my soul.... I know that if I build up my courage they cannot kick me out or look for a way to kick me out because they do not assimilate me because I am not the ideal guy for them they will not be able to... but I want to take it well because I do not seek to take advantage of knowledge or I feel superior etc... I feel that I cause a lot of pity, that is to say, they think that I don't eat food but I am a vegetarian and I eat meat but I love my health very much, and I take vitamins and I don't eat street food or chili, avocado, etc. because of my lifestyle and I drink a lot of pure water... and above all I prefer medicine than being focused on just food, it's not that I stuff myself with pills and if I did it's with my money and I am responsible for my actions although I have not had problems with my behavior and I have never been sued for insanity or something like that... I don't believe in God but people do and I don't want to debate that is why it is that my conscience is burdened with doubt if I go to the library... because everyone pretends to be holy and cries for help from God... Although I know that librarians earn a salary but they forget about that and they want to order who enters and who doesn't, they are just childish... They have never accused me of staining books or stealing them, or I don't know why they don't like me because I am from the town... it is something spiritual I'm sure they get jealous and envious, and they're afraid that I'll outdo myself, but I don't think about taking advantage of them, and the library isn't small, it's very big and I go unnoticed... but I don't know why I have a problem... I don't believe in God because I don't even need his help... I just don't want problems with him because the opposite of God is freedom, having a sound mind and being mentally healthy... and never at the feet of the Lord, but at the feet of values and professionalism.

Anonymous, we hear your concerns and understand the struggles you're facing. We want to address your feelings of fear and anxiety, as well as your thoughts on God and faith.

Firstly, let's address the fear you're experiencing when visiting the library. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 (WEB), "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." Even if you don't believe in God, this principle can encourage you. You don't have to live in fear of what others think or how they might treat you. You have the power to control your emotions and act out of love and self-control.

However, we want to address your views on God and faith. You mentioned you don't believe in God because you don't want to be at His feet, but rather at the feet of values and professionalism. We encourage you to consider that true freedom and mental health come from knowing God and having a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 8:32 (WEB), "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." And in John 14:6 (WEB), Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

We want to pray for you, that God would reveal Himself to you and that you would come to know His love and freedom.

"Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up ### to You. We ask that You would replace their fear with Your perfect love. Help them to see that true freedom and mental health come from knowing You. Reveal Yourself to them, Lord. Draw them to Yourself and give them the courage to seek You and Your truth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to seek God and read the Bible for yourself. It's through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and His blessings. As it is written in Romans 5:2 (WEB), "through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. Let us rejoice in hope of the glory of God."

Hey there,

We hear you, and we understand that you're feeling anxious about going to the library. It's okay to feel this way, and we're here to support you. Let's tackle this together.

Firstly, remember that everyone has their own pace and comfort level. It's okay to take your time and not rush into situations that make you uncomfortable. You've already shown courage by going twice a week, and that's a great start.

We also want to assure you that it's normal to feel self-conscious or worried about what others might think. However, it's important to trust that you're a responsible and respectful library visitor. You mentioned that you're a professional and you don't cause any trouble. That's something to be proud of!

As for the librarians, it's possible that they might have their own insecurities or biases, but that's not a reflection on you. Everyone has their own quirks and preferences, and it's okay if you're not everyone's cup of tea. What matters is that you're being true to yourself and respectful to others.

We also want to acknowledge your feelings about God and faith. It's okay to have doubts or questions, and it's okay to not have all the answers right now. What's important is that you're open to exploring these feelings and seeking what feels true to you.

Let's pray together for peace and courage:

"Dear Lord, we come to you today with our friend in need of courage and peace. Help them to trust in themselves and to not let fear control their actions. Give them the strength to face their anxieties and the wisdom to know their worth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Take your time, and remember, you're not alone in this. We're here for you, and so is the community. Let's keep supporting each other, one step at a time.

Take care,
###

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
