• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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 made a terrible mistake

Thank you all so much for your responses. I was so surprised to see so many of them, and that really made me feel good. Through all of this, I really see the one common denominator, and that's the Lord. I admit my wrongs, and ask for forgiveness. As you as my witnesses.... :prayer: I pray Lord that you would forgive me of my tresspasses, deliver me from evil and come into my life, that my heart would be changed. I pray GOOD LORD that you would direct me where to turn, so that I may carry out your will for me. I love you and I praise your Heavenly Name, Lord!

Thank you Lord for your forgiveness, your love, and your grace. Thank you Lord for my kind and loving brothers and sisters who have prayed for me, and counseled me. I ask Lord that you bless them in return for their Godly love.

Always be with me and I with you!

In Jesus' Amazing name I pray, Amen.:prayer: :bow:

MY DEAR SISTER,

Reckon it to be a done deal and get on with your life, living for God at all times and not for the flesh!

MAY YOU BE BLESSED ABUNDANTLY!!!


A BOND-SLAVE OF CHRIST,
ephraim

Forgiving yourself is the hardest part. God bless you and love you. May He bless you with comfort and forgiveness. He will make all things anew. Just think of it this way; you'll get to see your baby in Heaven and you can have a wonderful relationship with him/her in Christ forever =)

See? God lifts all burdens and makes all things right. I pray for you.

Love,

Cru

I just recently moved to a new state, and I met someone and had sex. Then later found myself to be pregnant, and just yesterday had an abortion. At this point I feel horrible, but at the same time it hasn't really sunk in yet. I kind of feel numb by the whole thing. I know I messed up, and part of me doesn't want to face it, yet the other part wants to make right with God. I just need to vent and maybe get some responses, I suppose. Thanks.

Beloved of the Lord,
He knows your pain, your struggle and your grief.
Tenderly He holds you now in His heart. Your tears are precious to Him. He will comfort you in your sorrow.

"Confess your faults to one another, and pray for one another that you may be healed." James 5:16.
My dear sister, I have a sister that had atleast 3 abortions and never told me. Imagine that? Your own sister not telling you because she's afraid of not being forgiven. Another family member told me. I went to her and told her I did'nt condone it but that I forgave her. And she got her heart right with God. She had to move on. The sad thing is, I might add, the man is her husband in this situation and she wanted the child but he doesn't believe in birth control. Imagine living with that?
You've confessed your sin to us all, you are on the right track to begin the healing. I have done alot dumb stunts in my life, but have learned to trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean NOT to my own understanding and that I cannot change the past. I will pray for God's healing love to bath you.

Yes... the Word of God does tell us not to fret over what we cannot change... we must only know what to do to prevent ourselves from doing it again. Stand with God, and all will be well.

He is the Unbreakable Rock! PRAISE GOD!

Amen and amen. Much love.

You did a good thing here sister. I will pray for your near future. Your first post your called what you did a "mistake" when it was a sin you made w/your eye's open. In this post you are asking Jesus to forgive all your wrong doing's. This I beleive is right and God is hearing your true heart. This is awesom, I pray you have felt His forgivness in your heart and have recieved some peace. I would still seek some Christian counseling. This could not have been an easy post to make. I feel for you.

I pray you seek out the path He has made for you from now on.

We all need to ask for our own forgiveness.:wave:

Although there are some very compassionate responses and posts here; please feel free to join us on the Abortion Recovery room thread anytime you are ready! Here: http://www.christianforums.com/t1797953-abortion-recovery-room.html

It's a place for those to go who have gone through this where we can feel safe to discuss our experiences and help one another grow.

I pray you find it in yourself to forgive yourself; heal and let go! In Jesus Mighty Name! Amen

We all have made judgements that were/are not the best. We serve a loving, gracious and forgiving God. Let Him take you through this time in your life. Seek counseling and group therapy in postabortion crisis. During this time your confused and feel alone; well, your not, Prayer Prayer Prayer. My prayers are that you
seek God's peace and love and may He lift you up and out of your stress; it will take time.
