  • 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 am ashamed to say that i felt very lonely now due to some academic problems i am facing. You learn more detail in here.

christianforums.com/showthread.php?t=7297266

I just hope to ask for prayers that i can meet and make new friends who can stand with me in this circumstances. Now, i am sick and depressed and stuck in a room alone. At times, i just felt suicidal. Plz..any prayer counts..i know i am being selfish. But i just want to ask for support to get through my situation and whatever may happen. I am going to have a very important test coming up and yet i am too sick and depressed to study now. My family and friends are worry of me. Yet i am forced to lie in front of them that i am fine when the truth is otherwise. I felt weak. I know it is a shame to cry. But i admit that i had been crying whenever i am alone. I felt that my hope is diminishing. I want to press on but i felt powerless and weary. I am ashamed of myself of who i am. Plz pray that i will have the strength to continue on. Thank you for your prayers.

-Jason-

As our beloved sister stated above, there is no shame in crying and it's not selfish to ask for prayer. Jesus said, ask and you shall recieve.

Praying for comfort and strength as well as successful studies in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!

Dear Jason, as Linus above quoted. Jeremiah 29:11. is the Lord Word and it cannot return to Him void, Pray and ask for the peace that is beyond understanding, and with that Peace comes the Joy, of our Beloved Lord, and when you have that peace you will know, that to be lonely is a thing of the past, please believe that you have recieved this blessing, and it will be so, that is the key, belief in God's Word.
God bless you Jason. Elshevia.

Praying for you Jason. I agree nothing wrong with crying. I do all the time it seems like. I think you should talk to someone about this though. Do you have a pastor you could talk to? God bless brother

No, not really. I choose to hide things to myself.

You are in my prayers.

I have clinical depression, due to a chemical inbalance in my brain. It took a combination of prayer, medicine, and counseling to overcome it. From experience, let me encourage you to see your doctor, and your pastor, or counselor. Depression grows when it is hidden.

Abba Father,
When we are faced with so many challenges in our life who can we turn to in our time of need? We know that you have said you will never leave or forsake us, but still at times we feel alone. God I pray that as Jason searches out your truth he gains a rock steady faith that will be immovable. That his lonliness will be filled with the joy of knowing you. Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen!!!

2Timothy 2:1-3
YOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
