• 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

Hi, Everyone, i want to ask you all to pray for me. Tonight for some reason, i'm feeling especially distant from God, to the point where, i feel like he does'nt want to have anything to do with me anymore. I guess i know it's not true, but i feel like i want to cry, because i'll never see Him again. I don't know why, but i'm really down tonight, and can't seem to pull out of it. You don't really have to reply, i just really need your prayers tonight, for some reason, i just feel like i gave it my best shot, but it's not good enough. I know what Gods' word says, he'll never leave or forsake me, but, i feel so alone. I would ask that you pray for God help me , not to feel so alone.
Thanks in advance, yours inChrist, Amin.

I've been there and I know what a horrible place it is to be. So I will pray for you that you may have the strenght to survive this onslaught on your faith.
Please remember Amin that God's Truth is stronger than your feeling world and that even though it FEELS like you have been forsaken by Him, He will never leave you for He loves you very much indeed. Hold on to the KNOWLEDGE of that LOVE and you will feel far better even though you are so down.

God Bless..

Hi, Amin.

I encourage you to know that sometimes there is an ebb and flow of the Holy Spirit. We may not always "feel" Him close for Him to be near. We may not always be on fire for Him to be working in us. And sometimes we may be in full blown confusion (or depression) and think we'll never get it right with Him again.

God is bigger than that.

What God is like for me is the ultimate in kindness and forgiveness. He comforts me even when I don't feel like being comforted. He responds even when I don't respond to Him. He shows me loveliness even when feel unlovely. He shows me compassion when I have been compassionless. He has woo'd me even when I'm far from Him. He speaks to me in the quiet of the night and in the midst of chaos...both of which I have to be still in order to listen to Him. He loves me, even when I don't feel loving. Jesus died for me even though I did not deserve to live (in Him).

He's God.

Nothing will seperate Him from those He loves. There is no sin too great that will seperate Him from me. I am humbled by His humility and in it all I find myself realzing that I have nothing if I don't have him.

I hunger for my Lord. I thirst for Him and I search Him out, especially on dark nights. He has rekindled my Spirit during a time I felt very much like you. All I did was ask Him to come. I opened my heart to a Refreshing of His water.

Salvation might be free but working it out in your life may cost you everything. Do you love Jesus enough to put your pain aside for a moment and reach out to Him?

He's waiting for you Amin....he's waiting....

Oh, Father God, touch Amin in such a way that He knows you're in the midst of his circumstances. That there is nothing too great that cannot be overcome through You. May the Holy Spirit comfort Him and woo him to a place where he'll hunger and thirst to know you more....to step out of his box and release his burdens to You. You are Jehovah Rapha, The Finisher of our Faith....times of refreshing will come into his life from the presence of you Lord (Acts3:19-20). He will not be dismayed, for you are our God. You will strengthen him and help him, and uphold him with Your righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). You Lord have commanded his strength; strengthen, O God, what You have done for him (Psalm 68:28). Whatever things I ask for Amin when I pray, I believe that he will receive them, and he will know that he will have them (Mark 11:24). The words that I speak will be word of spirit and life (John 6:63). I will prophesy in proportion to my faith (Romans 12:6). Thank you Lord for your timely Word. I give You praise and glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Be blessed, Amin.

Nan1, Thank you very much, when i start to feel like i mentioned,
i seem to only be able to focus on my feelings, and not Gods' word. Know that, you've been a blessing to me tonight, thru Gods' power and Spirit. Thanks Again, Amin.

Hi Amin,
Thanks for replying to my post about my prayer request. I'll pray for you, not because you prayed for me but because I know how it feels to be depressed. If it helps, the book Purpose Driven Life told me that when God seems distant, He is testing your faith. He wants you to believe in Him even though you can't feel Him. I will pray that you get through this trial.

Dear Heavenly Father,
People feel loney sometimes and yearn for You. I pray that when people yearn for You, that you will remain in their hearts and comfort them. I know that you want to be best friends with all of us. Thank you for wanting to be friends with sinners like humans, even though you are the King. I pray that Amin will get through these tough times and that he will not be tempted beyond what he could bear. And thank you for sending us at Christian Forums to comfort him. Amen!

Hi, Thanks for the prayer. Sometimes i actually think that God, has turned away. It's quite a struggle, knowing what Gods' word says, and what i feel, are two different things. I really don't know what to do sometimes. I'm going to try and hold on to the knowledge of Gods' word, but i've got to tell ya, sometimes it feels as tho, i'm holding on to a lost dream.
Thanks Again, Amin.:confused:

Hi, It's been a while since i've heard from you. Don't
worry about the words. Taking time to reply, and showing your concern, are greater than words could say. I hope you're doing a little better. I pray that Gods' peace, find
and fill your heart and mind. Take Care, Amin.
