• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you.
Do not fear or be dismayed.”

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

I believe, that many; if not most, of our problems
are, or, can be
aggravated, by the way we arrange our thoughts
~that our inability 'to-cope' is due to, our having difficulty,
to marshal our thoughts (due to stress)
Where, we are UNABLE to see the 'wood' ....for the trees that are there (in our way)

When, we re-organize our thought-handling 'properly'
we can again see, logical sequence, and true facts
which gives us, a clearer view, of the matters we are facing
and maybe also many clues, as to what we CAN do/ in terms-of 'solutions' ¬v

I just saw your post and realized I posted the same thing a day after you - it was sent to me by my DIL who is going through a difficult time. I don't know the origin, do you?

Thanks for that. Chanie Gorkin sounds like a wonderful young lady.
Seeking out the positive in everything is a Chassidic belief by which Chanie and her family live. This Jewish family dwells in the Chassidic Community of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where Chanie attends an all-girls high school. She is the fifth child of six and, according to mom, is not the only sibling with an affinity for writing. Chassidic philosophy stresses that the mind rules over the heart. God is good, and since He is the cause of everything, everything is essentially good. Looking for the good in all things creates positive energy and a good reality. This philosophy is an ever-present source of inspiration for Chanie and is the message hidden in “Worst Day Ever?” Like she says, “It all depends on how you look at it."

Seeking out the positive in everything



I had arrived at that conclusion, shortly after joining GE
[How, do others manage /cope /survive]

After 'treading' so much water [now, long-gone, under the bridge]
and swimming hopelessly against the current
only, to become physically and emotionally drained (exhausted)
I learned; that by accepting that I could not change 'some circumstances' (for, the better)
that I could 'go, with the flow' and go through 'the door' that led to my future
that, by getting 'out of the water' ~I could, find rest (and recuperate)

Strength, is [I find] relative-to ~the degree of refreshment that one is, blessed to receive

\o/

Hi joycekil,

I feel for you. It is horrible to be sad and depressed. :hug:

I know that your reason for sadness may be different to mine, but I have been through years of depression. However God got me through it, and I'm sure He can with you. One thing which might help is to remember that you won't feel like that for ever. Can you ask God for a specific promise or verse from the Bible and hold on to it? I found some of the Psalms especially 23, 91, 103, 139 and 145 particularly helpful. Also that Jesus was sent to "bind up the broken-hearted". (Isaiah 61 v 7)

Praying that the Lord provides what you need and replaces the sadness with joy and hope. :prayer:
