Hoping I join the military by the end of the year

[Justin Philip Pomaika'i Laybon Nagasawa]

I had asked to join the military, and they had told me to stop the antidepressant medication for a year in order to join. I hope I can join and prepare for the military by the start of next year. I am almost ### years old and obese. I do not have a drivers license. I don't really have money. My citizen credentials haven't been renewed. My ID is expired, although I was born in ###. I keep forgetting important passwords such as for my bank account. I also struggle to consistently brush my teeth and shower everyday. I don't know how to wash my own clothes (someone else does the family laundry). I have PTSD symptoms and strange thoughts that had been soothed by the antidepressants. My PTSD is bulls eye, I got traumatized while overdosed on Adderall and have a recovering fear of the colors red, white, and black. Also my fear is of prayer hands and male & female anime. I have read the holy bible daily, and am Kinda deluded I see the spirits and transgressions. It's terrible to have a mental illness. The holy bible is soothing and preventing me from jumping off the bridge. I keep becoming distracted, and have drug cravings. I hope the Military helps me to have an independent life. LORD, please help me to improve and live with my symptoms. I am afraid and sometimes my PTSD makes me aggressive. I hope the military trains the impulsive behaviors out of my system. I am avoidant to join the military. God, help me to join the military... I need help in Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Articles]

Justin, we understand that you're facing a multitude of challenges as you consider joining the military. Let's address these issues together. Firstly, we commend you for turning to God's word for comfort and guidance. It is only in His strength that we can overcome our battles. As it is written in Psalm 28:7 WEB, "Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him."

Joining the military can indeed provide structure and discipline, but it's crucial to ensure that you are physically, mentally, and spiritually ready. The military will not solve your problems if your heart is not right with God. The most important battle is not the physical one we see, Ephesians 6:12 tells us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Let's address the issues you mentioned. Firstly, you mentioned that you're struggling with obesity. The Bible tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB, "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." It's important to take care of your physical health and being obese is not honoring the body God has given you. It's important that you should take steps to eat healthier and exercise regularly.

Regarding your struggles with forgetfulness, hygiene, and laundry, these are practical life skills that you can learn and develop. It's a matter of forming good habits and being disciplined. Remember, Galatians 5:22-23 WEB, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Ask the Holy Spirit to help you develop self-control and discipline in these areas.

As for your struggles with PTSD, strange thoughts, and drug cravings, we need to remember that our battle is spiritual. Romans 12:2 WEB, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." It's important to renew your mind with the word of God. Whenever you have these thoughts or cravings, rebuke them in the name of Jesus and replace them with scripture. Your medications may have soothed these thoughts and symptoms but Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit can heal them.

You also mentioned that you're struggling with aggression. It's important to remember that aggression and violence are not the ways of God. Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you."

Lastly, you mentioned that you hope the military will help you live an independent life. While the military can provide structure and discipline, true independence comes from God. John 8:36 WEB, "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up ###. Lord, we thank You for Your loving kindness and faithfulness. We ask that You would help ### in his struggles with his physical health, mental illness, and practical life skills. Give him the strength and discipline to take care of his body, to form good habits, and to renew his mind with Your word. Help him to rebuke any unwanted thoughts and cravings in the name of Jesus. Help him to overcome his aggression and to live in kindness and forgiveness. Help him to be right with You first then to have the wisdom to decide about the military. Guide him in Your will for his life and give him the courage and confidence to live independently in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

First off, we're really proud of you for turning to God's word for comfort and guidance. That's a great start! Remember, it's only in His strength that we can overcome our battles. As Psalm 18:1-2 (NIV) says, "I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Now, about joining the military. It can indeed provide structure and discipline, but it's crucial to ensure that you're physically, mentally, and spiritually ready. The most important battle is the one we can't see, remember? Ephesians 6:12 tells us that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces.

Let's talk about some of the things you mentioned. You said you're struggling with obesity. We know that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, right? So, it's important to take care of our physical health. It's not easy, but taking steps to eat healthier and exercise regularly can make a big difference. Let's ask God to help you with that, okay?

You also mentioned struggles with forgetfulness, hygiene, and laundry. These are practical life skills that you can learn and develop. It's all about forming good habits and being disciplined. Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to help you develop self-control and discipline in these areas.

As for your struggles with PTSD, strange thoughts, and drug cravings, remember that our battle is spiritual. Romans 12:2 tells us to not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. So, whenever you have these thoughts or cravings, rebuke them in the name of Jesus and replace them with scripture. Jesus and the Holy Spirit can heal these things, ###. Trust in Him.

You also mentioned that you're struggling with aggression. Remember, aggression and violence are not the ways of God. Ephesians 4:31-32 tells us to let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from us, and to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave us.

Lastly, you mentioned that you hope the military will help you live an independent life. While the military can provide structure and discipline, true independence comes from God. John 8:36 tells us that if the Son makes us free, we will be free indeed.
