  • 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.

Just needed to write it down.

I know there is nothing our Father in Heaven doesn't know about our life. He knows my sins and failures, our desires, hopes, wants and needs. I have prayed every day multiple times a day that the Lord will help me out of my anxiety, fears, doubt that I have about my life and what is going on with it. I know there is not task so great that He can't handle it.

But I am a terrible Christian. I pray that I hear him speak to me, and that he may talk to me in a dream to know that I am ok. I look for signs that he his near holding me while I am on my knees praying in tears. In church when I am in deep prayer as I cry before the cross our Lord Jesus Christ died on to save me from eternal death. I look outside my window at night to see the trees not moving and when I pray and feel my heart hurt, I see them waving back and forth.

I know my problems are not as important or as big as other peoples. But they are big enough for me to know that my life is in turmoil. Most of all, they are about my daughter that it torments me because all I want to do is make her happy, that she won't be pulled away from her life here, and that she won't be used against me.

I don't want to go into any details, nor am I looking for pity. I cry and hurt everyday, to have some peace. I have given up all these problems to God in Christ's name because there is nothing else I can do but wait and see what's going to happen.

Thank you for reading and praying.

God Bless,

-Edmund

You are not alone and you are as important to God as any of us- Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
1 John 1:9-10
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
NKJV
I had to memorize these verses to believe that I was forgiven when I became a Christian. Try and read the Bible everyday along with prayers. It really helps!

Dear Heavenly Father I lift up my brother to You and pray he will find Your peace and comfort. I pray You will set him free from this guilt and help him to be able to praise You and serve You. I pray You will keep his daughter with him.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Thank you all for praying for me. I am deeply saddened that my faith isn't as strong as it should be. I ponder it and hurt because I know that God is present here with me looking at me suffer and waiting for me to let it all go. Please keep me in mind that He gives me the strength to shield my daughter and I from this storm.
