  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Simple Needs

Father, please allow me to have wisdom and direction from You. I do not know what to do when she vomits in wal-mart bags and then says she is sick. Sick how? She is lying, Lord, but when I gently question her as to what manner she threw up....she becomes angry and whines loudly...as you know.

Thank you that she is under a doctor's treatment. Thank you that you are healing her every moment of the day. I do not see this with my human eyes, but with eyes of faith. I know that You are faithful.

No matter what happens, I pray I will always come to You first before seeking advice from others. I lift her name above the skies into the heavenly of heavenlies, and I say, Father, bless Michelle, and give her life, give her hope, dreams, faith, intimacy with You, Lord. Give her a mind that is sound. Sound thinking. Shut off the voices that demean her, cajole her, convince her to hurt herself. It could never be Your will to cough up food and to cut her skin until it bleeds. I pray day and night; I will not stop, I lift my voice up to the heavens and plead with You, Father. I ask that Jesus would intercede for Michelle and for this family. We need You so much.

We are without proper finances. We argue over dumb things. I lift Your holy name above all these issues. Some of the issues are very big and others are smaller. But each is important to You because you love us and we belong to You. It is so important that I remember that You are in control.

Michelle may think that she is in control. She's not. Father....I don't know what to say or how to pray...make things right with her and may the time between now and her arrival at Mercy Ministries to be set in time by you, as smooth as possible, for Your will to be known, for your physical, spiritual, and mental protection to be evident over Michelle at all times.

I listen to You, God. I heed to your voice. May I be so in tune with You that I hear every whisper of truth and wisdom...shut out the worries, Lord, and even advice that is wrong. I'm thankful for prayers from friends, Lord. So thankful.

God you know above all what is wrong and how it needs to be taken care of. I do not. Kelly does not. Michelle's doctor does not. Nobody really knows except You. Please in the name of Jesus, intercede today at this moment and do not ever stop. I need you to help me to not lose my mind over this....my daughter is so important to me...it's hard to believe that You love her more than I do...but I know it is true.

:pray:I will not doubt...keep me from being double-minded...Your will is in place in her life and she has been committed unto You....your will be done in Jesus name.

I lay her upon your altar, Lord. Do with her what You will and do only what YOU can do. I trust You with all my heart.

Amen.
