  • 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.

Hello again. The job search is still stagnent and it's the beggining of another week. I'm having a hard time going out and looking this week all my previous efforts seem to be in vain so it almost doesn't seem like there is much point.

I have use of the computer for a little while longer now, my room mate is staying an extra week. Pray God Gives me faith and help me to not give up.

Thank you,

BENJAMIN JEANOTTE

Father, I pray that things will continue to work out for my brother Benjamin. I pray that you'll bless him with your presence and with your comfort. I pray that my brother Benjamin will just surrender all his worries to you and find peace in you. Amen.

Dear Father in Heaven,

I beseech you Lord for a job for Benjamin. Please change the hearts of those people where he's applied and give Ben favor with them. Please watch over his precious heart and lift his spirits high with hope and joy. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

If you truly have faith in God, and you're letting Him guide you, and not your own desires, then have no worry. God has a path set for you, and if your path includes a job, you will get a job. If your path has a mark on it "Use lack of job to teach lesson," it will happen. If you have all faith in Him, then He will keep you on that path, and anything He has planned for you will come to be. Just be comforted in knowing that He is in control, and not you. Don't worry, since worry is only denying that He is in control, or saying that what He has in store for you isn't what is best for you. Let's say you were in an airport, and you arrive ten minutes late, missing your flight. You're upset that you missed that flight, and get all stressed over the fact that yours was moved to another plane boarding an hour later. Well, after you get on your plane and arrive at your destination, you see the flight you were going to get on has crashed on the runway. Doesn't the stress and worry you put yourself through seem foolish when you see that it was a blessing you were late and got on the other flight? When the right time and job come along, you will get it. Those other jobs, and other times, they are the crashed planes. God wants to delay you so that you may get on the flight that leads you to safety.

I don't so much worry about God's plan, just if I'm folowing it, or if I'm getting punished for any number of the bad things I may do in a week. I know God has something for me, but am I doing enough to deserve it? What happens if I just continually fail to follow Gods path... eventually I just fall off a cliff. That's what I worry about.

Remny,

You are a believer. Therefore Jesus wont be punishing you for your wrongs. He has already paid that price Benjamin. It can be hard to believe, I know, I am in the same place as you but

Gal 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. :prayer:

If we take Antari's post to heart then we can take heart.

Maggie :yum:

Dear Benjamin,

My brother just got a job after being out of work since Christmas. I know how hard you pursue work and how you follow up and all, you've made getting a job a job, just like your supposed to and I just pray that you will get one soon.

I've never heard someone work so hard to get a job, so just try to hang in there; it's got to be soon. Do you live in the south or north? I have forgotten what area you live in. It seems up here in the north the jobs have been hindered by the weather.

Oh, God thank you so much for our precious brother Benjamin, and please bless him with a job Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

:prayer: Father, it is sometimes difficult to understand your Will for our lives. Please give Benjamin real insight into the plan you have for his life. If he is looking in the wrong places, lead him to the right ones. If he is approaching the wrong people lead him to the right people. Please use Benjamin where You want him to be, where his gifts will be used, where he can best serve you. Show him Father what it is you want for him and give him peace while he waits for that answer.

Thank You Father
Amen :bow:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
