• 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.

But anyway I'm here because I don't have anywhere else to turn. I've been feeling hopeless, useless, stagnant, and drained since September. Most days I feel like there's nothing I can do right. And literally every time I reach out for help I get shut down. Recently I've been entertaining my porn addiction (something I thought I had got over. Shoot I went 2 years without watching it :sigh: ) I keep trying to have faith and trust God. I even set my alarm clock to go off 30 minutes earlier in the morning so I could dedicate some time to pray before my day starts (and I know being a Christian is not about works but most nights I can't sleep until 2 a.m. and my alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m. I could really use that extra time). But no matter how much I pray and trust Him anyway, nothing changes. And I'm really tired of trying. I've considered giving up...even suicide. But I'm deciding to give it one more week. If nothing changes after this week, I seriously doubt I'll be a believer anymore. I can't keep trying to no avail.

Praying for you, Know that God will guide you, maybe you shouldn't get up the time earlier but spent in with God somewhere along the day when you will be more awake and aware of what you are doing. Since you are about to give up in a week, I challenge you to give God total control of your life. Don't make any decisions any changes without consulting your Heavenly Father first.

HI Apple....your are definitley not alone my friend. But....it's time to fight.
WARRIOR UP!
So your under attack and you're feeling weak. Start lifting those weights. For you to ask for help means you have more God in ya than you think. Nothing is going to take place as you think, just thoughts from your enemy. Stand strong, the door you entered also has an exit. Once you reach that exit, things will be far better than from where you entered. Make these attacks end swiftly Lord...AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

Lord, be there for her and send her any help she needs. Help her with her addiction and do not let her be tempted to look at any porn. Show her life is worth living and do not allow her to harm herself. Show her you are going to be there for her every step of the way and are listening to her. Give her any energy she needs and let her get the rest she needs. Send her your love, peace, comfort and strength. I pray for this, in Jesus name, Amen.

encouraging words from Job 22:

“Submit to God and be at peace with him;
in this way prosperity will come to you.
Accept instruction from his mouth
and lay up his words in your heart.
If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored:
If you remove wickedness far from your tent
and assign your nuggets to the dust,
your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,
then the Almighty will be your gold,
the choicest silver for you.
Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty
and will lift up your face to God.
You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows.
What you decide on will be done,
and light will shine on your ways."

Bless yer heart precious, praying dear one, that God intercedes as only He can. He LOVES you. He KNOWS yer frame. HE sees all our weaknesses and He holds out His arms. Go to Him, precious. This shuts the mouth of the enemy who is telling you it's too late and that there is no hope. The enemy is a liar and ALWAYS has been. Go to God. TELL Him ALL about ALL that is in your heart, just like it says in these very wise words that say it much better than i could....this helped me see that in our most dire of moments, THAT is the time to not walk, but runnnnnnnnnnn precious, to HIs arms. Praying dear heart ((((hug))))

"Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's heart, it's pleasures, and it's pains, to a dear friend.

Tell him your troubles, that he may comfort you; tell him your joys, that he may sober them; tell him your longings, that he may purify them; tell him your dislikes, that he may help you coquer them; talk to him of your temptations, that he may shield you from them; show him the wounds of your heart, that he may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.

If you thus pour out your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subject of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back, neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of their heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intimacy with God.” ~Francois Fenelon


He LOVES you precious (((hug)))
