216: Gender Dysphoria, Feeling Like a Boy In a Girl's Body, Chronic Anger at God, and Thinking "My Body is WRONG" | ILANA KRISTEVA chats with Joseph Warren

Ilana Kristeva 
"The Self-Care Vigilante"

"Ever since I was young, I thought I was a boy. I felt like a guy in a chick's body."

★ Ilana's Life-Changing PRAYER: "God if You're there (and I think You are), I'm tired. I'm really, really tired. I'm not sure where to go. I don't know what to do. And I SURRENDER. I surrender not because I'm weak but because I know that You made me to be strong. Can you show me who I really am? PLEASE? I'm willing. I'm willing to SEE who I really am. I'm really willing to walk the path You've given me, and I accept it. I accept Your LOVE. I accept Your STRENGTH. I accept Your COMPASSION. And please teach me how to forgive myself, and though I know You've already forgiven me, I'm struggling with forgiving myself for all that I have done, and for all that I have not yet done."  ...In the Name of Jesus, help me.
