  • 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

The trick is not to pray that you will do God's will irrelevant of your own wishes, the trick is to pray that Your wishes become the same as Gods, and I will pray for that. Sounds like an odd compulsion to me, try to find the reason for it. Is it just to escape where you are at? In order to know if its God's I "think" you should try to analyze the reason you wish to go there.

I'm praying for you and thanks for sharing, it was an interesting read, and well written.

Hello, Benjamin.

Yes, I have been pondering the catalysts behind my desire and am yet in the process of sorting that out. If it were merely to elude my present situation, there are much easier avenues of escape, hence I do not believe that is the reason.

Thank you for your response and your prayers. :)

I ask that anyone who is willing to please pray that I would vehemently desire to do His will irrelevant of my own wishes, of my own sentiments of entrapment and despair. Please ask Him to empower me, to enlighten me with His wisdom regarding this dream of mine and to help me not be afraid of Him saying "no," for He desires the best for me. If it be in His will, please ask that He open doors for me to reach my destination, for at this juncture I cannot imagine NOT living there. Please pray that I would not lean upon my own understanding and that any impediment to hearing His voice would be revealed to me and removed from my heart and life.

Praying for this, for you...
