• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I don't get it.

God made me go back to a house where people (my parents) are abusive, I don't understand and even if I have faith and keep my eyes on God, this situation is exhausting and I feel like it's going to destruct the self-confidence and happiness I've been building slowly for years.
I've been battling to go out of that situation and now, I've got to go back ... this is absolutely unfair from my point of view. I feel very angry and I'm running out of stamina.

All things work out for the best for them that love God and are called according to His purpose. With God the end result justifies the means. This is difficult for us to deal with. We do not want to have to go through some of the things we have to go though to get to where we want to go.

Jesus says my yoke is easy, yet we are told that the Narrow Gate is difficult. Looks like a paradox. Is it easy or difficult to be a Christian? We know that we have the comfort and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. We can speak to the storm and calm the wind. Still it seems like we have to go through storms in life but God is there with us every step of the way.

Life is short so don't blink because it all passes by before you know it.

I've prayed and searched for a place to go but I didn't find anything.
We need to pray and search for the will of God and seek to live a life well pleasing to Him.

I'm so sorry, Heloise. Are you employed?

Welcome to CF, praying for you (((hug)))

IF they are truly abusive, this is not God's will and leading. IDK what abusive is in your definition, but God does not ask us to endure such a thing when there are other options.... TRUST in God... have you sought out shelters for homeless? Many are Christian led and while it's not a permanent solution, they help with job education and social skills and all that too! :prayer:

May the Lord bless and keep you :pray:

One thing I’ve learned is life will have its trials. Better to be close to the Lord than distance yourself.

Circumstances most often reflect a need that God is pointing out to be corrected within one self that God is with you to provide. Trust in Him always and He will see you thru.

Thank you Cassia, I have to keep on trusting ! I can feel how all of that is transforming my soul and views.

"He will not allow us to be tested more than what we can bear." I love that.
His plans for us are to prosper not to harm. :amen:
