  • 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

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. :crossrc:

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen. :crossrc:

St. Dymphna, holy patron of mental illness sufferers, pray for the OP's depression. :crossrc:

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. :crossrc:

Hi everyone, i cant remember how many times ive put myself for prayer here. :( Im really struggling:( im feeling pretty bad, today, i just want to drink and not wake up then I will stop being a burden for everyone here aswell as my friends. . :(:(:(:(:cry:Im just tired of everything. I just really cant tell you how lonely I feel :(:(
Ive got a counselling appointment on the 18th. June.About 6 months too late I think.

Hi, I am new at this, but I know that God answers prayer!! I am grampa's girl because he was the person who loved me the most as as a child. I was abused physically, verbally and sexually as a child (by my parents) Jesus is always there for us, even if we don't feel it. I am much older than you, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE!!!!!! Please believe that HE can HELP and HEAL. Seeking professional help is often very helpful. I'm not very good at quoating scriptures but Jesus has given me a gift ot Prayer! I am praying for you and believe that your depression will lift! May God bless you

With lots of love and prayer,

I realize this original post has been here for a while and I really hope you are doing much better now.

I wanted to let you know that I will pray for you and to let you know I have been in the same place. I was actually there for over 20 years. This past winter one of our pastors prayed over me and anointed me with oil. I was very disappointed when I didn't get instantanious healing because everything was so painful. But since those months I have started to pray just a little more each day and read my Bible again. God didn't heal me right away because He was drawing me back to Him. He is the only one that can relieve the burdens that you are carrying.

I pray your counceling appt. goes well and wonder if you have tried any medication. I am currently on medication. It took me eight years and a relationship with God to get the right combination for me, but for now it is working.

The most important thing (besides letting you know I am praying for you) is to let you know that even if I have to deal with depression again, God will get me through it and He will do the same for you. Hang on. He's right beside you and won't let go.

Please, I know it is difficult when you are in a state of severe depression to see the truth, but you are not ever a burden on those who love you and as your sister in Christ...I love you. Don't look for the easy way out. Accept our love when you feel unacceptable.

God bless you,
Kim:)

Thanks everyone for all your prayers.:hug::hug: I so apreciate them.I had my first counselling session this week. I was very nervous as expected. It went ok. It wasnt christian this time (but I think that was better in some senses because it meant I could talk.)Though I was tearful afterwards.
My next ones are on Wednesday 2nd and 9th July. Please pray that God will guide these sessions, and I will gain what I need. I will get at least 5 more now, which will take me through to the end of July. Still trying to work through things,..
love jo

Honey you are not a burden. You are one of the sweetest people with a most humble way about you. You have helped me get through so many tough times and prayed even through your own pain for me in mine. God loves you my Sister and I do too. Hang in there. This life with our illnesses isn't an easy one to live but we have each other and that is important but more important we have Him. Honey hang in there. You know you are my Sister. Love Lady Marion

Dear Lord Jesus please touch Jo and help her. Lord send her special friends who will lift her up in prayer with understanding and not judgment. Lord help them and give them wisdom on how to support her. Lord so many people see people like us and turn away because they just dont' know how to help but I ask You to let them have understanding and love and know we just need to know they are there for us. Lord God please touch my sister and let her know she has so many here who love her and need her and rely on her. Lord let her know that even though she doesn't feel loved that she is so very much. Lord show her how much ministry she has done for others and without her those people would not have been touched in that wonderful way she has of touching through Your Name. Bless her and protect her. Give her what she needs. Let her know that You are surrounding her always with love. Holy Spirit be like a mother to her and comfort her as a child. Help her and nurture her and help her to learn to nurture herself. Bless her body Lord God supply those chemicals to her brain and body need for proper functioning. Lord we know that we all need proper minerals and vitamins and nutrients for good health, mentally, and physically I ask that You supply those things she needs to her body in Jesus Name. Bring her body into harmony the way You intended our bodies to work. I thank You Lord for answers to her prayers and giving her the desires of her heart in Jesus Name Amen
