  • 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.

And I don't know what to do. I feel a horrible yearning grief and loneliness despite having a husband and family who love me.

I'm fairly sure I've been suffering from a depression that has got more and more severe, along with terrible anxiety. And it seems to be fluctuating and coming in waves. I have had lots of really difficult things happen in the last year, and although nothing bad is happening now, I just feel indescribably awful. I've always had fluctuating moods, but I've never had so many difficult experiences happen at once.

I'm struggling to trust people. I feel frightened of who I am and keep on thinking of myself as a dangeruos person who could explode any minute. I have no self-confidence left, and I don't know how to be self-confident.

I'm sorry this is one long whinge - I just feel so awful inside. Please pray that I will keep trusting God and that He will give me confidence in myself and in my relationships with others. I'm so vulnerable to the behaviour of people in the world at the moment, and I'm so afraid of getting hurt.

Thank you.

Hi Maharg
:hug:
I would suggest talking to someone about this- your GP, someone in your church, a counsellor-as there may be things that those people can do to help with the way you are feeling...

Father, bless this woman who is feeling so awful at the moment. Send her strength to keep on going and help to guide her to people who can give her help and support. Fill her with your peace, so that her fears and worries will be calmed and remove this deep depression from her. Send her confidence and fill her with trust in you.
Asking this in the name of Jesus the Lord, who promised that he will never leave us,
Amen.

Isaiah 30:15 "...in quietness and confidence is your strength."

Lord Jesus, give Maharg your peace...the peace that passes understanding. Help her to be confident in your everlasting love and faithfulness. Show her, Lord, who she is in you. She belongs to you, Lord God, let her be filled with the joy that only you can give.
