Turning away from the Lord to indulge in sin is giving up our birthright for one single meal.

Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world.” Whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness. Though His testimony is questioned, He affirms the Father confirms it. Their issue isn’t evidence—it’s spiritual blindness. (John 8:12–20)

Jesus goes up secretly, teaches with the Father’s authority, and reveals Himself as the source of Living Water. Amid division, leaders try to arrest Him, yet His words stop them. Light confronts darkness. (John 7:1–52)

Jesus cries out: if anyone thirsts, come and drink. He promises rivers of living water, referring to the Spirit. Some believe; others seek to arrest Him, yet even the officers are amazed by His words. (John 7:37–52)

The crowd is divided—some doubt because they think they know His origin, others believe because of His signs. Jesus declares He comes from God and warns He will go where, in their unbelief, they cannot follow. (John 7:25–36)

On December 31st, 2024, I decided to discontinue my weight loss medication, because of a side effect that made it more difficult for me to enter and stay in recovery from my porn addiction. In 2025, I found my Twelve Step support group and my sponsor, so when I needed a path forward to lose the necessary weight to get my stoma reversed, this past Saturday, I resumed taking Adipex. What I didn’t know is that stopping and resuming Adipex makes the side effects even worse. I also didn’t put it together last time that one of the other side effects is loss of
impulse control. In addition, I’ve caught myself talking a mile a minute (and annoying MYSELF) and the texture on the ceiling of my room as well as a nail on my wall have appeared to be moving. This past Monday, after almost 8 months clean, I relapsed. I am planning to remain on Adipex until I reach my weight loss goal, so as not to risk making the side effects worse by taking another break. Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you.
AS THE SOURCE OF ALL THINGS, GOD IS ALWAYS ABLE TO MEET OUR NEEDS.

Jesus goes up to the feast in secret, not for fame but for purpose. The crowd is divided—some call Him good, others a deceiver. Fear of the leaders keeps the truth silent. (John 7:10–13)

Jesus stays in Galilee due to persecution in Judea. His brothers urge Him to go to Jerusalem to gain public recognition, but He replies that His time has not yet come. The world does not hate them, but it hates Him. (John 7:1–9)

Jesus multiplies the loaves, walks on the sea, and reveals Himself as the Bread of Life. He teaches that eternal life comes through faith in His sacrifice. Many leave, but Peter confesses that only Jesus has the words of eternal life. (John 6:1–71)

I’ve been struggling with this for at least a couple weeks and now that I’ve spoken about it with my life recovery small group, my sponsor and my psychotherapist, I’m finally ready to talk about it publicly. When I was told in 2019/2020 that I “needed” surgery (I’m not convinced I truly needed it as I no longer trust the doctor who pressured me into surgery and operated on me), I was given a number of options for which surgery I would have. I laid those options before the Lord and He led me to the surgery that ultimately led to the loss of my physical independence and everything material that I had in this world - my job, my home, my access to my church building, and the ability to come and go as I please and manage my own
affairs. Now that I’m faced with another surgical decision, I want to lay it before Him and let Him choose what I do… but I feel betrayed. Not just by the surgeons. I feel betrayed by God. And I’m angry. I’m PISSED. But at the same time, my relationship with Jesus is the only thing truly sustaining me through this. I never thought I’d have PTSD from trusting God. But now that I have options before me as to how to proceed, I want to give them to God and let Him decide again, but I’m having flashbacks to the last time I let Him decide and the suffering that has resulted since. There’s of course the possibility that
it wasn’t God who led me into this season, but that just calls into question my own ability to discern His direction by way of the Holy Spirit, which feels just as troubling. I know I’ll continue to do what I can to give the Lord control, because that’s the only way I know how to exist anymore. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Many disciples are offended by Jesus’ teaching and call it hard. He explains that His words are spirit and life, and that the flesh profits nothing. He reminds them that no one can come to Him unless the Father grants it. (John 6:60–65)
