Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Please pray for me. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm trying to feel the holy spirit and it's really hard because I was atheist. I don't want to do life and I'm addicted to weed. And the state of the world is terrifying me.
Praying for you, fren. Don't let go of that rope. Let God tie a knot in it and help you. That fact that you were an atheist is meaningless to God. What counts is your relationship with Him now. If you are His now, you are His forever and He will see you through this dark time. Hang on. Praying for you now.
Thank you sweet person
Find a Bible believing church, something like a Calvary chapel. They teach the Bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse. Get involved in a men’s or women’s Bible study whatever your sex is, and read God’s word every day. Once you get into an alignment with the Lord, your life will change. I promise. Praying for you.
Praying for you.
Go for a nice, sober, nature walk ASAP. 🙏
An evening of Hope with Don Moen

Come Holy Spirit, my fave song
Psalm 43:5
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
