Anonymous asked: I need some help. I am a christian, and recently my walk hasn't been as full on as it normally is. I havent been to church for a while (due to having small kids and there is no creche so i dont get to learn anything even when i'm there) anway, i have been self harm, mainly burning. and well i was talk to a friend and it got me thinking the more i indulge in this the more it brings me into sin, what do i do, i'm not sure i am ready to stop harming myself. what do i do?

Find a church with creche. It’s better to do that than to come to church only to not be built up because you have to concentrate on your children. 
As far as self-harm, there is power in a made up mind. The woman with the issue of blood had made up her mind she was getting healed when she touched Jesus’ garment. In the same way, you have to make up your mind that you’re not going to let things have authority over your life, that you’re going to do whatever it takes. Your children need a strong, Godly parent, who is after the things of God and being a leader to them. They need someone to bring them up in the truth, in love and in loving discipline. If you allow sin to reign in you, you allow it to reign in your kids. Do whatever it takes. Make up your mind that you’re not giving the devil a foothold in your life. Read the word, seek out loving believers who will be there for you and pray for you and encourage you, be in a good church that will teach you things to empower you, pray all the time, go to a Christian counselor if that’s what God leads you to do; make up your mind to do what it takes.
