I (f25) have been diagnosed with ADHD ever since I was a child. I take meds and go to my psychiatrist to help with the scatter brain. But I have the worst time sitting down and reading my bible. I dont know why, but its beginning to get frustrating, because I want to be able to be biblically literate but my brain cant sit still for more than 3 minutes to sit and read God's word. I find that I feel more connected to group activities and music. But I cant listen to music and read the Bible at the same time, as I just get caught up in the music.

I just want to find people my age who want to sit down and read, discuss and even chat about stuff like this but I dont know where to start.

So my friend of 6 months, K (named shortened), became a Christian about 3 months ago, and was super excited about God, wanting to know everything, hoping that his relationship with Jesus would be the answer he was looking for in life. Last night, he texted me saying that he started feeling attracted to guys, questioning if he was bisexual, and I just felt wrong. I know this is Satan trying to pull him away, and I live in another country from him so I cant exactly go help him or help him find a supportive Christian family.

What struck me as odd was he never conveyed that he was attracted to men before. And I know deep in my soul this is not of God or him "finding himself." This isn't him. I know that once he accepted Jesus as his lord and savior, he was going to get attacked, but I dont know how to respond to this. I advised him to read out loud the Ephesians 6:10-18, to put on God's armor every day before he does anything else, but its like his light is gone. He's crumbling, confused and overall withdrawn.

My family prayed for him, praying for strength but I dont know what to do, as im not the strongest or most well versed Christian myself.

Please, if you have any bible verses or thoughts, I would love to hear them. And please pray for him.
