• 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.

I have been suffering spiritually recently and I have begun to pray that Jesus send my guardian angel to protect me as well. Does anyone else pray that their guardian angel protects them?

Every day.

Holy Angel, heavenly companion of my life, do not abandon me, a sinner, nor leave room to evil demons to overwhelm me through my weaknesses.But rather take hold of my weak hand and guide me on the path of salvation.

Yes, holy Angel of God, guardian and protector of my soul and body, overlook all the things by which I have grieved you. Guard me also during the night and protect me from every influence of Satan that I may not fall into sin.

Intercede to the Lord for me that He may grant me forgiveness of sins and help me to be worthy of His goodness.
Amen.”

(My Orthodox Prayer Book, Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Of America, 1985)

I don't specifically; I pray for help and leave the methods to God.

However, I know guardian angels have protected me many times...
Thank you so much for sharing that your guardian angels have protected you many times. I feel mine have as well.

Where did you get the idea you have a guardian angel? What you do have is the Holy Spirit inside you, who will lead you to safety.
