  • 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.

God does answer our prayers...my story

Not open for further replies.
I have been doing the Angel hugs morning devotions .This is one of my experiences from reading them,and how God truly does hear our cries for help,no matter how small or how big. And for personally,in my new walk,my new RE-found walk,I so need to know that.But I believe we all do ! So heres my story...


On Tuesday,my children were having their placement tests done for school.I have been homeschooling them this year. Even in knowing how well they were doing,I couldn't help but worry.If they failed or did poorly,it was ultimately,my failure.

I had to get a portfolio ready for each of them,for the school.In scrambling around on Tuesday,I didn't take the time to do my devotions.Finally about 11:00,in my worry and frustration,I said,"I need to just take 10 minutes out of my day,and do my devotions.Maybe it will be a scripture that will help me today".My meeting was at 2:00 p.m .

It was Psalms 85:12-The Lord will indeed give what is good and our land will yield it's harvest.

My first thought,well,that doesn't me alot of good does it ? Then I decided to step back a second.I have a devotion/prayer journal I keep everyday.I write scriptures ,my thoughts on those scriptures and my prayer for the day down.So I prayed ,and then started to write my thoughts on that scripture down.

Here's what came to me:Any seeds that we plant in our lives or in your childrens lives will grow!The fruit will grow .They ARE my harvest.They will yield the fruits ! God had heard my thoughts of worry,of fear ! In a scripture that I thought had no meaning in my life,had all the truth I needed .The comfort I needed so much that day.

I just thank Him so much ,for loving me so much,that all my worries and cares,are his worries and cares too !!!

Godbless you all !

Lori:

Thank you (and our Lord!) so much for your post! It spoke to my heart...I have a 15 year old son (does that not just say it all???) who is struggling toward his "independence". I feel at times that my "planting" may have been flawed. I, too, home schooled him when he was younger. Your post just reminded me that he WAS fed on the Word and that I HAVE trained up my child in the way he should go...I now just need to trust the rest of the verse...that when he is old he will not depart from it! My thoughts and prayers are with you in the school application process! Blessings on your little "crop"!

In Him,
Eternity :clap:

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
