  • 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.

I am a emotionally weak person who struggles with maintaining relationships. A relationship starts fine but then I have so many things going through my mind that I can't relax and let it flow. I think I am a good looking guy, but honestly I just want someone so I am not lonely. I hate that I am like this.....I've been praying about it lately. I wish I could just be content with my life and God. I've been hurt in the past badley but now it's made me extremely emotionally fragile. I just ask that you guys can pray for me because I need all the help to break my emotional weakness I have.

what you need to realise is that there are few really decent human beings in the world (most of em are pathetic) and that most couples/marriages arent so good as they might seem (are nightmares, in fact; or taste like dry bread at least). then you couldnt help but not feel so bad about yourself. far better to be single and possibly lonely than to be used, cheated on, abused, disrespected, let down, etc etc.

Nope but I feel like God is my counselor and you're right I do need to grow spiritually and mentally. I think that's the main issue.
Cool,

Really you are not emotionally weak, just much more emotionally tuned.

Let me ask you this bro. When you walk around, can you just tell the mood of some people. Like you can tell what they are going thru in their minds by way they look?

I suggest take the next 2 years and focus on just understanding yourself. Women, career, the house. blah blah blah will come later. Take the time to just figure yourself out, like strengths and weaknesses. We all have talents on loan from God, question is what are they and do we choose to accept them.

Start small and truly become a dissiple of Jesus. Read the bible and really absorb it all. His teachings will help you remain stable in worst problems. As long don't forget to apply the teachings.

Luke 6:46-49
Building on a Solid Foundation

46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

Proverbs 19:8
To acquire wisdom is to love oneself;
people who cherish understanding will prosper.


Most important seek the face of God. Having a better understanding of our Great Father will help you. Instead of shacking your fist at him, you will focus on learning what he teaches.

2 Chronicles 6:14-15

14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 15 My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.

Lastly learn to forgive yourself. Think of your mind as like a child. Child is going to stumble many times before he will learn to walk. And fall many times learning to run. What is most important is Hope, to pick yourself back up and try again.

I hope my words help you get started. Faith and hope, pray for understanding and strength. Our Great Father will help you learn to walk and then run. Don't give up!

Ya know, it just might be true that there is NOTHING wrong with you.

Just dont take women so seriously. Have more respect for YOUR VALUE. They are lucky that you think they are worth your time. Every date does not need to lead to marriage. Take it easy man.
