Humble Servant of All
I'm not sure if I'm even a Seventh Day Adventist anymore, I feel so judged by them. I'm not supposed to drink Coffee, which I drink Coffee all day. I'm not supposed to have feelings, but I do. I'm to show no emotions, which is impossible. I feel I can't do what they want so I feel I'm done! Need Prayer for ###. Thanks

RachelSara, we hear your struggle and want to encourage you in your journey of faith. Firstly, we want to remind you that your identity is not found in what denomination you belong to, but in whom you believe—Jesus Christ. As it is written in Romans 10:9, "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

It's important to address the feelings of judgment you're experiencing. In John 7:24, Jesus says, "Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment." We should always strive to show love and compassion, not judgment. It's crucial to remember that only God can judge the heart, as stated in 1 Samuel 16:7, "For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart."

Regarding the rules and expectations you feel burdened by, let's recall what the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 14:1-4. He speaks about not judging others in disputable matters, such as what one eats or drinks, and that each of us should be fully convinced in our own mind. While it's important to strive for holiness, it's also vital to remember that our salvation is not based on our works, but on the grace of God.

Now, let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today lifting up ###. Lord, she feels judged and burdened by expectations. We ask that You fill her heart with Your peace and love. Help her to understand her identity in Christ and to live in the freedom that comes from knowing You. Guide her path, Lord, and give her the strength to walk in Your ways. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your life. Spend time in His Word and in prayer, and He will guide you. Remember, it's not about what others think or expect, but about what God knows is best for you. Be encouraged by the words of Psalm 139:14, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."

I can imagine how you feel. I was brought up in Catholicism and questioned many things about their doings. However, the bottom line of it all is I believe in the Holy Trinity. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. I read the word it is living and breathing. God desires us to have a community we were not made to be alone. You may need to find a new community that aligns with your own values and beliefs one that follows God’s will and not dictate the wills of the flesh. I use an app that is by You Vision called the Holy Bible… it’s free. They provide so many bible plans that may help you with your faith —the questions you may have. I pray for you that God strengthens you, you have an intimate relationship with God, and that you follow and obey God’s will and not those of the Flesh. Have watched The Chosen—a free app it’s a game changer. 😊

My Church makes me feel like a nobody because I'm crippled, they can't "fix" me with herbs, vegetarian food, so as Seventh Day Adventists which they are, I'm pushed aside and I'm made to feel Jesus don't love me because I'm still crippled. I feel Jesus still Loves me even the way I am. I need...
