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.

It is so hard to learn how not to worry. This is what has worked for me the best, as I stuggled with this a lot in the begining.
Jesus has to be your absolute focus. Nothing else can matter to you as much as your personal relationship with Jesus. I am not talking about screaming from every roof top to convert others, I mean in your heart, in your soul, you must keep Him close with prayer.
After this is accomplished you must realize that even if the worst thing happened no one could take your Lord away from you, and since He has become the most important thing to you, then things are not that bad.
No relationship is as important to you than the one that you have with Jesus, and through Him, with your Father.
The only thing that you can do, as far as any human relationships are concerned, is to be honest. You can't make anyone feel a certain feeling or do a certain thing unless they want to. All that we control is our own selves, and nothing and no one else. If someone hits me with their car, I can not blame God because He did not hit me with a car, another human being, in full control of themselves, hit me with a car. All that I can do is remember that my Lord is with me everyday of my life, no matter how wonderful or how crappy that life is, and after this life we have eternity with Him in paradise.
I hope that this was not confusing in any way, if it was feel free to question me
-Peace-

You will always worry. But trusting in the Lord means that, whatever may come, that the end result is what God intended you to have. Whether we understand the reasoning or not is totally in oblivion. But what matters is that you get back to God and you lean on him while you go through this difficult time.
You can get over this on your own, but the peace that the Lord gives you is so much better.

What I found in my case was this...I said I trusted God..but when I really looked at what that meant..I wasn't. It's a day by day thing...each morning, turn your will over to Him, pray, tell him your worries, your fears...anything that is on your heart....and then let it go. If you truly trust that He will take care of you, and that He wants the best for you...then you will be able to let those worries go..they aren't in your hands. You need to just focus on doing His will, growing closer to Him. Read the Bible, pray, listen to Christian music, read books by Christian writers. Do what you can to learn about how great God's love is for you. No matter what happens you can trust that God will be right there with you, and will lead you. big ((hugs)). I'm not saying I never worry, but when I find myself doing that..I do what I mentioned above, and I cast my cares on Him...and my worries are gone. Day by day..just live each day...and try not to focus on tomorrow and the what if's.marino2duper said:
