• 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.

Due to the blindness of my heart i'm having trouble with my relationship with the son of man. I'm in fear most of the time and I don't know how to get things right with him. Everytime I try and turn I feel resistance. It says whoever hates his brother is a murderer. I don't know how to combat this situation. I read scripture for inspiration and hope yet its the actions that I fall short on. Please pray I will open my heart to the sons of God and that he will forgive me for my bitterness and envy.

I saw a sticker once that said:

God's not mad at you. He's not even in a bad mood.

God's grace is so much bigger than his wrath and his anger. I pray this verse below from Hosea encourages you

"How can I give you up Israel? How can I abandon you? Could I ever destroy as I did Admah, or treat you as I did Zeboiim? My heart will not let me do it! My love for you is too strong! I will not punish you in my anger; I will not destroy Israel again. For I am God and not man. I, the Holy One, am with you. I will not come to you in anger." Hosea 11:8-9
