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 just wanted to ask y'all for some prayer. I haven't discussed it much here, but for most of my life I haven't had a dad around. He was a drunk and abusive and he and my mom divorced when I was 4. He's never come around since, and the last time I talked to him I was about 9 or 10. So anyways, yesterday my mom, brother, and I got a friend request on FB from a cousin on my dad's side of the family and they told my mom they weren't trying to cause problems, but my said my dad had been trying to get in contact with of us for years and she was trying to help him out by friending us.
And honestly, I don't know what to think. For me, my dad's been like he was dead my whole life. I've had no father. And now this man, who's lied to and avoided me my whole life, seems to come out of nowhere through family saying he wants to get in touch with me. I have no positive memories of him, and I honestly don't have any feelings towards him. My brother, who never knew our dad, is kind of interested in being able to contact him, but I really don't know how to feel about it.
So I'm asking y'all to pray that God will help me know what to do with this whole situation 'cuz I don't know what I should do at all.

Hi people,
I just have a bit of a request. I need help. I think I have some anger issues that are not going away. For several months now (about nine
), I was able to put my feelings and emotions on the backburner for a moment. I was more rational than I'd ever been before in my life, seeing things clearly and taking mature approaches to things (not that I never had before, but you know, more so at that time). Now, I'm just really at a loss. When I discuss certain things, I flip out and by "flip out" I mean start talking really fast and I can feel my blood pressure rising like my tops that no longer fit me. Seriously. It's a problem. I start using unflattering names and it's starting to spill over into my driving (I've never been a road-rager, but these days I "talk" to drivers and call them idiots). I think it's anger; I'm pretty sure it is. What bothers me is living like this. Even if it's "only for a moment" that I feel it, obviously it's with me 24/7 and for my health, for my sanity, for my son (because he can sense this new energy in me) and for my decision-making processes I need for peace to reign over me and within me. In some ways, I feel like I'm the strongest I've ever been, but then this issue comes up and I start to feel like my sword is getting too heavy, you know what I mean? Anyway, that's it. Thanks.

Heavenly Father, please take away all anger and frustrations from this dear sister's heart and mind and replace them with the peace that only You can give. Thank You that Your peace can and will guard her heart and mind so that she will not give place to thoughts that are not beneficial to her and her son. In Philippians 4:7, we are told "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Father, thank You that the depths of Your peace are greater than we can imagine and that through this peace, we are made whole. In Jesus' precious and mighty name, Amen.

Thank you for that, Revived. That really means a lot. I'm letting that prayer absorb into my spirit.

Because I have some big decisions to make with regards to my family, I'm beginning a Daniel's Fast tomorrow that will take me through Christmas and the new year. If you would, please join me in prayer. Thank you and much love.

Good luck with the fast. That's awesome.
My dad and sister need a lot of prayer. Dad was told last week he needed to be out of his apartment by early January. His apartment is tied to his job so he may be losing that as well. He can't afford to lose his job and he isn't quite old enough to retire. My sister has been sick and out of work for over 2 years so she is of no financial help. She is going to move in with me in a couple of weeks and my dad is going to move in with one of my uncles hopefully temporarily. We're all going through a rough time right now and we've all been really worried. I hope and pray that God will provide a new and better job for dad and restored health and a job for my sister and a place for them to live. I've been really fighting (and mostly losing) a battle against depression for the past few months. A lot of it is tied to my job and evil coworkers. I'm thankful to have a job but at the same time am dealing with very strong feelings of anger that are becoming harder and harder to control. I fear a nervous breakdown.

Thanks for any prayers. You can't imagine how much I appreciate anyone who's noticed/responded to my plea, either anonymously between you and God or by a kind word to me. God Bless you all.
I feel like possibly one may be slightly answered--at least where *I* am concerned. I need to clear out the spare bedroom so my sister can move in with me by the end of the month and with my work schedule that looked like an impossible quest. However, the boss and I were chatting this morning and he is really encouraging me to take a couple of days off before the year ends (something I really wasn't sure I'd be able to do because of the workload and my large responsibilties). It's still a bit shaky but I felt much better after that conversation. I hope and pray that works out but nonetheless my big concern is for my dad and sister. Dad has diabetes and is also on meds for arteries/heart stuff. If he doesn't find work soon, he may have issues paying for his meds.

I just want to let everyone know that I don't post in this thread often, but I do read it and I pray. I hate for people to feel like their request was ignored. It is not. I think there are a lot who pray without posting anything.
