  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Never really asked you guys for anything.

But would you pray for me? Everything seems to be falling apart.

I have spent my life trying to do God's will. Not that I am perfect. This is not necessarily about finding a job, or a grade. This is about finding me, my purpose?

You guys don't know much about me. But, I have spent a lot of time trying to help people in their darkest and worst moments. I was apparently good at it. I have seen things that I would rather forget. Recently it has come to overwhelm me. I loved it though...

I still want to do it. I want offer hope but I am just looking for a little ray through the clouds to remind me that the Sun is still there.

I can't continue to walk in darkness if there is no light left within me. I don't ask this for me. I ask it for those whom I wish to serve. Sorry for this little confusing rant...

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Psalm 23

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

The one good thing about the Sun is that even when it is obscured by clouds and storms and all sorts of natural phenomenon, it is still shining.

Yes, there might be periods in our lives that we go through when we don't see the Sun, when Winter seems to be unending, and the snow keeps on piling up.

But in spite of that time goes on.
the Sun does come up---somewhere---.
And each new day takes us one more step towards the time when the snow will stop, the temps will rise, and the storms will dissipate.

and now is the time to have a bit of faith that when you can't see a way ahead, that the God who has been with you and has directed your entire life has not lost His way.
The right pathway is still there, He is strong enough to carry you forward, His vision is still clear, and He is still trustworthy and sure.

Rest in His presence. :hug: :crossrc:

My prayers. There was a time when I felt overwhelmed helping others and that the strength and light within me for it was fading. Know that you have my prayers and it is Adoration tonight, your problems will be my intention.

Jesus spoke to my Heart yesterday and said:

"Know My Child that those who love the world lose Life",

We offer up our hardships, difficulties, trials, sufferings, sorrows, agonies to Jesus Christ our Saviour for Holy causes prayed and Jesus assists us more greatly, healing our hearts, while we receive Him more powerfully.

WA I agree with You, we do come closer to God our Heavenly Father during these tests and hardships, in particular, when we hand over our lives to Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit. I do this while enduring tests within the difficulties daily through The Most Holy Rosary prayed to The Blessed Virgin Mary and of course Jesus Divine Mercy Chaplet prayed daily at 3pm.

These hardships are removed one by one with Peace entering my Life once more, again and again all from God The Most High!

Jesus Mary I Love You save Souls.

Love and kindest wishes your Sister in Jesus Christ our Saviour

You are in my prayer.

May the Lord be with you and in you and shine his light upon you so that your heart and mind may be made whole and your soul find its rest in him with hope and grace to sustain you as you minister to others. May He be gracious to you. May you come to know his deep and compassionate love.

If you crack a little don't take it too badly because it is said that the cracks let the light in.
