  • 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.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I humbly ask for your prayers regarding a relationship at my workplace.

There is a mentor whom I deeply respect and love, someone who has been like a mother figure to me. Recently, our relationship has become distant, and this has been genuinely painful for me because of how deeply I care.

I have also struggled when I see her sharing lighthearted conversations—about food and enjoyable moments—with others, while our own connection feels quiet and removed. I recognise that this stirs hurt and comparison in my heart, and I do not want these feelings to take root in an unhealthy way.

Not long ago, I had a simple dream of happily sharing a meal together at a sushi restaurant. It made me realise how much my heart still longs for closeness and fellowship, even though I know such moments may not be possible in reality.

Please pray that God would heal my heart, guard me from unhealthy attachment, and teach me to love with humility, wisdom, and grace. Pray that I would honour her well, respect boundaries, and trust God fully with this relationship—whether He brings restoration or leads me into peaceful acceptance.

Thank you for standing with me in prayer.
God bless.

Father, I pray that Jane can find peace and joy through God in your life. That such fruit is not dependent on any person. That Jane will still relate and be a blessing to all that God brings her way, for whatever length of time. That she will see more of the purposes and timing of God and others in her life, be led by the Holy Spirit and find that comfort and love ever enlarging in her heart. In Jesus name.

I would consider that when we are weak that it is a time we grow more dependent on God. Except for marriage some relationships are seasonal. Perhaps too God wants your time and emotion spent elsewhere and is preparing you for that. Regardless, God knows the situation and is going to bless you through this.
