  • 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

It's two years since I lost my job. I have developed some harmful habits due to my depression and endless leisure time. I spend most of time thinking of bad thoughts like people who hurt me and bad things that happen to me long time ago which make my depression gets worse and make me so aggressive and get involved in superficial fights with my family and friend that I probably lost some of them. And my worst habit is gluttony, I using food just to make myself happy or feel better but that didn't happen, my depression just getting worse and worse. I cant stop eating, I like eating all time and even sometime get up during night just to eat. I have gained like 7 kg in two months and like 15 kg overall since I left my job.
the problem is that don't feel like I have the ability to pray so I'm asking for prayers, may God help me.

Hello sister,
I had a career as a Social Worker for 20 plus years. I had an accident several years ago and consequently it caused severe nerve damage, thus requiring pain medication. I have felt depression and anxiety, but most of all a failure. As Christians the Faith we put in God's hands, means that we fully and completely must trust Him. God's grace and mercy has turned my depression and anxiety into complete peace of mind. I may not be able to return to my job, so I am looking into returning to school.
At times of despair it is so easy for our thoughts to turn to negative emotions and manifestations. I will pray for you, please pray and read God's Word. Never give up your Faith, He will never give up on his children. We also have a responsibility to help ourselves to the fullest extent. Even the strongest Christian will suffer during times of transition. God's plan is always greater than what we can ever imagine. God Bless you and your family

If you have someone in your life who brings some happiness into your life spend time with them. Don't let that flicker of hope burn out in you. Continue to take one day at a time and preoccupy your mind with things that are good for you and make you happier. Every so often throughout the day say to God "I love you Lord God, please watch over me". Sit there where you are at and let His Grace flow through you. Get up and continue with your day.

It is difficult. Our lives are never easy but God will carry you until you are strong enough to walk beside Him. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

God loves you and I love you and we all love you here. Be strong, my friend.

Just a thought, find a project or do volunteer work that you can get absorbed in doing, if you are busy you will not have time to think about food.

My heart goes out to you, Mary. Know that I'll be praying for you, asking the Lord to surround you with His loving presence and encourage you during this difficult time. I'll also pray that He will open doors to a new sense of peace, rest, and hope as you trust in His ever-present care. God's best to you, friend!
