  • 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 feels foolish and selfish to ask for prayers for myself when so many others are in such need. But then we are commanded to go to God with our needs and desires.

Right now I need hope. I feel so alone. I feel like such a loser. It feels like each time my dreams seem to come true it only happens so that I will fall harder. I want something good in my life to know I am not forsaken. My heart is in such need. I know God can move mountains. I know God can deliver me, at least in my head, my heart is so down I don't know there. I want deliverence and love in my life. God can provide, but my words seem so weak when it comes to praying for myself. I need another sign of God's love of His grace.

I do not claim to deserve any of what I request. I just need.

Hello slientpoet,

I know what it is to feel low in your spirits about things. It seems as though you can boost others and speak words of encouragement, but its not enough to hear yourself say them, but rather you need someone else to cheer you on.

Its tough when your at a point in your life when you feel very alone and your dreams & wants aren't coming to pass, even when you know the Word if God is true (i'm experiencing something along the same lines). But keep on believing and praying.

By the way... You shouldn't feel less deserving in needing a praying. We all need them, so i'm glad you put up a request.

I'm praying for you:groupray:

-Lady

Lord Jesus, Favor this one. Minister to his deepest need. Take only what is necessary for You to be heard. In gentleness turn him to You in Truth. Restore to him the light of Hope and mercy and peace. Soothe his weary heart. Let him lay his head on Your shoulder and catch every tear for Your glory. amen

Lord, we pray for silentpoet, that he'll feel Your presence in his life, and that he'll see himself as You see him. Help him know what You have in store for him, and bring new people into his life that he can share the good times, and the bad times, with.

Amen

- A joy shared is multiplied. A sorrow shared is halved.

Been there, done that, still alone for 20 plus years -- but I no longer feel like a *loser*. Will be praying for you. Asking that all your wildest dreams be realized, and you get the love and deliverance you seek.

Don't ever feel badly about asking for prayer. I'm not used to asking for it myself, but on occassion I need to myself -- and yes -- I have to admonish myself the same way, since I feel guilty about it too. :sigh:

If we are not here for each other, who are we here for?? :)
