• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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

Lord, I break the power of this darkness and heaviness off the mind of your child, right now, in Jesus Name. Be gone. Lord, I loose her to your light that she might see your glory in her life this day. Thank you Lord. Praise Your Name forevermore. Amen.

Yes, amen!

Dear Lord, I pray that you would comfort her and help her see the extent of your love for her, sometimes its really hard to see that when life seems to keep throwing things at us, so I ask that she may very clearly see how much you cherish her, that what happens to her matters to you very much, and that you are there to help her, in the mighty name of Jesus I pray, amen.

heres a hug for you love4Godremains :hug:

I'm in the same situation and my prayers are unanswered. It's not that I don't beleive because I do and I've seen what I think is my prayers being answered. But the problem is that it seems whenever I pray for something its for God to come and bail me out again and when it feels like my prayer is answered it just makes things worse, I get into more trouble from avoiding things.
But like I said for the bigger and important things God is turning his back on me, I'm not neccessarily saying he's doing the wrong thing I mean if God chose to abandon someone then that would be right because only God is good but that doesn't mean you can't suffer from it
.
I say keep praying, try to discern what to pray for, so that you're praying for the right thing. I know what you feel like in fact although I don't know your situation I'm sure its not as bad as me, just think yourself lucky that you aren't in situations which are far, far worse.
Well I just feel like everything is totally hopeles. I'd like it if someone could pray for me, because I really am at a very crucial stage that is turning out very, very badly. I am stuck in sin, I know its not pleasing to God but its hopeless, I can't turn away I'm in bondage, I pray for help and it doesn't come, even when I think I'm going to get through it and not sin there's always something that begins as being innocent but its like a trick that pulls me down, I pray for strength and the holy spirit and I don't receive either. I beleive that sin is why God is turning his back on me and withdrawing his help. I prayed tonight for help, because I am in a hopeless mess at the moment, and I felt in my hear that if I didn't sin tonight then I would be helped but only then. And God help me I did sin. I pray for comfort and guidance but I don't receive that either, I cannot even turn to the bible for comfort. I'm sorry to the OP for bringing me into this
every time I start to feel serious about ending my own life I just feel this horrible, dreadful darkness about it, I realise that it isn't easy and its terrifying and awful, but then again what do I have to turn away from suicide to, its a double edged sword, I feel like not even suicide is a way out.
please pray :help:and once again I'm sorry to the OP. I know exactly how you feel. My advice is to try and discern exactly what it is you need to pray about, so you know that God will think it is reasonable,

Galilean,

I can see you have faith in God because you are willing to call him good in even the worst of times. I prayed for you and I'm sorry that you are feeling pain. I have feelings similar to yours so I'm afraid I can't be of much help other than to reassure you that you aren't alone. There has to be some reason for this and if God ever gives me the answer I'm going to tell everyone I know who suffers this pain and give them the keys out. The closest I can come so far is to think that God absolutley obliterates us so that one day we will be able to weather storms without the slightest wavering of faith. We have been through the worst and eventually nothing insignificant (money, relationships, position) will have any pull at all on our lives. I feel like we are running the gauntlet and those sins that pull at you will eventually be silenced and have no power over you to interfere with you relationship with Christ. For God to take us through so much pain he must be preparing us for tremendous victory. If God works through those who have been broken then those of us in this forum will one day do works beyond anything we would have otherwise expected of ourselves. I am certain that we are being ripped apart so that he can personally put us back together again. Remember that God ripped Moses apart with depression and dissapointment for years. To me, that is proof that God sets aside this special type of pain for great purpose.

thanks guys, and Galilean, I'm sorry you feel like this too, it's soo hard, to fight through each day with such a struggle, to try and find the strength to get up out of bed, to not reach to commit suicide, to pray for hope and faith, I'll be praying for you.
hmmm......
I know it could be worse, but I just can't take things, I miss my Dad, even though he is completely out of order for what he does/did (not gonna go into it, not fair on him) I miss my friends, and wish that there was someway I could change, I have hurt everyone I know love and care about, I guess I deserve to feel the way i do, if only for being such a b*tch, let alone hurtingpeople the way I somehow managed to!
I guess we all just have to keep praying and try to win the fight, try and push the Devial out of our lives, show him the door and that Jesus has power over us, and the only was the Devil can, is if we let him, but it's soo hard, especially when all you wanna do is give up! on the brigtside of how I'm feeling, I haven't reached to O.D or find any other way of ending things since friday!
