  • 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.

Have any of you felt the same as I? And if so what did you do?

I found a church I really like 3 years ago. I belong to a MOMS group so I know alot of women at the church. And I am really close with some of them. My children are involved with AWANAS and love it.
But here's my problem. My husband went to church with me for the first time 2 Sundays ago. I have been praying that he would find it in his heart to go. And he did. Only after going to a biblical counselor for some marriage issues. I know both are really big steps for him. But when he went I felt really weird and uncomfortable. I kind of feel like I was having a mini anxiety attack. I just wanted it to be over with. And I didn't go to church this weekend because I told myself it was too cold. It was 25 degrees in Florida so it was cold but I could have went. I guess I felt like it was my place to get away and worship. Without him judging me or making fun of me or thinking I am weird because all of sudden I go to church. Has anyone ever felt like this?

Yeah, I have. It was after I prayed for someone. It was a paralyizing feeling of anxiety and shame. I had to check it out with both the person I prayed for and a friend who witnessed it if I said anything inapproriate. They said I didn't. Apparently, Satan was hitting me back for stuffing one of his plans through prayer and subtly alerting others to what needed to be prayed for. That's the only way I can explain it.

A agree with another post. So here is my humble advice
1. Keep going to church. Don't let satan defeat you
2. Keep taking your husband to church. Pray over him that the Lord will minister to you heart.
Dear one, satan is not interested in you AND you husband being saved. So I recommend that you go right ahead and disappoint the slimy snake.
Let us pray

Dear Father,
We love this dear one that you have redeemed and her husband. Lead them both close to you each day, and bring them into right fellowship with you and in the right congregation to enjoy more of that worship and fellowship. We come against the enemy in the name of Jesus and we call his actions null and void. Lord we pray for Your continued protection over them and thank you for their precious lives.
Amen

I'm in sort of the same position, or I was. My girlfriend of a year started coming back to church on wednesdays, because she did have basketball. That day when she came back, I felt like I couldn't worship freely, or she would say something, I knew she wouldnt I was just this feeling I had. It made me really uncomfortable. I prayed that God would just take that fear away one day, and he did. Everything is so much better now. I hope everything goes well with you. I say you should keep going to the church, and even invite your husband, but you must fight to not keep yourself from worshiping and stuff. God bless you

-Matt

Just don't let Satan give into you
Let the Lord take it from there
And just lean on the Lord
Is all you can do
You will feel a lot better if you do!

I have had similar feelings, not just with my husband but others close to me as well. I think that its Satan's way of using our own faults against us. When you go to church and get to know others you may be showing them a side that your husband doesnt see in your day to day married life. I think Satan then turns that around and uses it like you are not good enough for those you dont know very well especially since your husband knows some of your faults/weaknesses. Just remember: shame, deception, lies are all part of Satan's game. If he is spending time on you and your husband its because he knows you are getting stronger and growing closer to God.

With prayers, Michele:prayer:

I think youve confirmed your own anxieties there, for 3 years its been your place, your friends, and in someway your family, then suddenly your husband goes, and its not just your place anymore, your also nervous about what his response might be to certain things which you see as normal. I think continue to go definately, but let him in on that part of your life also. It may feel weird for a few weeks, but in the end there will be a positive thought. See it as your family now attend church rather than it just being your place.
