Join us for Sunday Live, where we dive into the journey of mental, emotional, and relationship health from a biblically-based perspective, which we pray is rooted in the love of the Father, the grace of Jesus Christ and the truth that sets us free. We address your questions live! Mark will be teaching on the book of 1 John 5 on the subject of confident prayer and learning to walk in God's will. This Sunday Live tackles the confidence crisis stealing your prayer life and the obsessive patterns that keep you paralyzed. I teach out of 1 John to dive into the struggle of confidence when it comes to our prayer life, while also addressing "according to His will"-- breakign down what God's will is about and how you can break through the confusion and develop greater confidence. Here are some areas that I covered in the BIble Study: Why confidenceโ€”not frequency or eloquenceโ€”is your real prayer struggle The toxic pattern of trying to "check the God's will box" before praying How to stop obsessing over direction (who to marry, where to live, what job) and focus on what actually matters I also address three hidden reasons your prayers feel ineffective and some very practical tips on confident prayer. I also addressed a question about going to church and I talk about recommendations for finding and chosing a church. I also answer a question from someone who is afraid of new digitial IDs that are coming out in Europe. She fears that having this ID is the mark of the beast. Another listener shares her struggle with being able to enjoy blessings because of people being persecuted all over the world. I respond to a question from a young man who is wrestling with God's calling and wondering if he may have misssed God, disappointed God or missed his calling. His family thinks he should be a pastor, but he is not sure that is what he feels led to do. But he is conflicted. This episode is wonderful for Christians battling anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, depression, or spiritual perfectionism. Learn to pray with confidence instead of condemnation, and discover God's will through renewed thinking rather than obsessive searching. โ“Questions? markdejesus.com/questions ๐Ÿ“˜ The Myth of the Perfect One: https://bit.ly/44kZu7B ๐Ÿ“˜Get The OCD Healing Journey Book Today: https://markdejesus.com/the-ocd-healing-journey-book/ โžก๏ธGet a FREE eBook on the Fatherโ€™s Love: https://bit.ly/3fGu6t3 โ–ถ๏ธMark's resource library: https://markdejesus.com/topics/ ๐Ÿ‘‰Support future videos: https://markdejesus.com/donate/ ๐ŸŒŽJoin the Healing and Freedom Community: https://markdejesus.com/community ๐Ÿ“šMark's books: https://markdejesus.com/books-by-mark-dejesus/ Music Provided by Epidemic Sound: https://share.epidemicsound.com/73m02k and Audiio: https://ref.audiio.com/3c99d6zk Mark's Podcast and Video Equipment: https://markdejesus.com/equipment/ Disclaimer: The content published is for informational purposes.
