• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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 feel so distant from Jesus.
I keep having thoughts that saying I will become a Muslim if I do various things like go swimming or taking a hike. I fear that if I do those things I will suddenly become a different religion and sometimes I feel like I have somehow and it is very upsetting. Please help

If you feel so distant from Jesus, may I suggest some heavenly realignment. PRAY and PRAY with all your heart to ask for some help, realign your mind, realign your heart and walk with him as he walks with you. Sometimes we can end up in a desert, just like our human relationships, it’s not all love and peace all of the time. It takes some work on our part to engage, to slow down and reevaluate.

Whatever we need as Christians is already there, we just need to work at it.

God Bless You

David

Sometimes we have "weird/bizarre thoughts" .... if they aren't biblically based (of which these are not) .... we should dismiss these thoughts.

Being close to Jesus is reading His word every day and learning His precepts and abiding by them and through prayer.
