• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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'm about to walk away and turn my back on God for good

Maybe one day I will be back, but I can't do this anymore. I don't for the life of me, understand why God kicks people when they're down. At their lowest, and he still piles it on. Life is not meant to be perfect, but where is He when people need him? Nowhere.

I'm sorry that you're feeling low.

God doesn't kick people when they're down. He doesn't put anything on us at all. The devil uses normal life experience like anger, disappointment, false expectations etc to take us away from God when we're feeling vulnerable.

I will pray for you.

I agree with ChubbyCherub. Just because God isn't big and flashy, doesn't mean he isn't there. Satans number 1 goal is to pull down our faith in the Lord. This world is never meant to be easy, and it's going to be hard. From homelessness, to sickness, to pain and other issues that we have to face and its the enemy that piles on more just to add more weight to the burdens we all carry. But God doesn't necessarily take away the issues, he does however help you through them. I will pray for you and pray that you see where God's invisible hand is in your life despite the struggles you may currently face. That it is because of God's hand, that you aren't completely crushed by the world and by the enemy.

God never gives us more than we can handle.

I will pray for you.

Where will you go, to sin and shame to drugs and alcohol? How will you cope Without Jesus in your life. Guilt is not of the lord for the Christian buddy. But it’s the norm on the outside.

sometimes we can have an over developed conscience. I know mine gives me fits sometimes. But with God we can work on it. It’s the truth that sets you free. That won’t change. Running is not the answer.

prayer, 2Cor 10:3-7. Gods tools, Gods direction, guidance, love. That’s the answer. You don’t have to be perfect all of a sudden. Repent, try, get ewith God, read your Bible, new life. It does get hard but at least you have a fighting chance. Rom 8:28 no condemnation , to those in Christ Jesus. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Tell Him.

Paul was shipwrecked, beaten and stoned nearly to death several times, and imprisoned many times. Of it he said:

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5

Yes, you can, and you will because he that is in you is far greater than he who is in the world. There is this point within every believer where prayers spill out to our God saying; "though he slay me, yet I will trust in him." Job 13:15. Praying for you :prayer:

PM me if you want to privately share more detail - I can sit with you in the dust.

Life can be real tough.
Carl, that is a beautiful offer. Just remember, Jobs friends sat silently and comforted him for seven days; then they opened their mouths. Choose your words wisely brother. May they be few and may those that are spoken be seasoned with the Spirit of truth and grace.

blessings

May God bless you in his love and take away all your anxiety and troubles. In his holy name, I pray. Amen! :prayer:
