So discouraged

[PloverWing]

I have to take breaks often.

Yes, I also take breaks. Sometimes CF wears me down, and I can't remember why the Christian faith is even a good thing to belong to. When I get there, it's time to walk away from the computer for a while.

So?

 

[Cshuffle777]

Don’t worry about it. Post as much as you want. That’s what the place is here for.

Michie, you're a gem, but not everyone can thrive like you, the way you trod along.

This is an advice thread. It’s not about Michie. You have a problem with Michie, take it to Michie or the staff.

So?

So, there's data available to evaluate activity.

I think we all know that. But thanks anyway.

You've got me all wrong.

You've got me all wrong.

Sorry if I do but it’s not the topic of the thread.

No, not everyone knows that. You may not like what I have to say and I know you can have me banned as quick as lightning, but not before I remind you that you don't own the place.

Good grief! Really???

You asked the question "So?" I answered.

 

[Michie]

Grin Michie. You always make me smile.

Anyway, hang in there. Just give it time and you’ll find your niche as you familiarize your self with the different forums.

I hear you. I get depressed. The sheer amount of negative out there is tough. Sometimes it's good to take a break and "Christian" in the real world for a while. It helps. An EO poster mentioned that we tend to say things to each other on-line that we wouldn't dare say to anyone in person, and that's true.

Thank you all very much. Much love.

Lord I would like to lift up everyone in this thread to You. Lord I pray Your blessed protection over everyone here and their family and friends. Lord I ask that You strengthen them and send Your holy angels to minster to them and defend them from the enemy.

Lord I ask that You pour Your Holy Spirit unto them in a mighty way. In Jesus's holy name. Amen.

When I came to Christian Forums I was happy and full of faith and hope. Now I am at a loss and feel there is no hope. So what should I do? Just no longer come to the forums?

I would like to know what happened.

 

[Mari_magdel]

Been in American politics and news a lot last few days. That is where I seem to get discouraged and in trouble with administration.

I would seek the Father in His word. Read the OT and see how He protected His chosen from their enemies. Pray for understanding always. This helps me stay grounded.

Amen I agree. Thank you for sharing. Doesn't matter what happen. I don't wanna sow discord. God bless.

It can be frustrating at times, Broken Fence. But as one who has been "reported" by assorted posters her on C.F. 3 or 4 times over the past few years, for who knows exactly what reason (political, maybe?), I just let it roll and continue to interact with other folks. I even remain committed to a personal policy of NEVER reporting others here on C.F., even if I don't like their viewpoint or I think they may be trolls.

No matter what we do, since there is such a wide variety of people involved in these forums, there is always the likelihood for some head-butting with others or for others to simply try to remove our opinion from the public place. With that said, this is one reason why I scarcely enter into the political forums because some of these people are way too invested in their political ideology---some are atheists and don't care how they oppose Christians; and some Christians here apparently think their choice of political parties emanates somehow from the power of the Holy Spirit and/or the Bible.

Unless you're looking to take on any viewpoint like I might, just try to find that 10 to 20% of fellow Christians here who may share your own general angle on things and focus on talking to them for the most part. You'll probably feel better that way.
