• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

:hug: what if it isn't healling you should be looking for? what if it is management of what God has placed before you?

James chapter 1

Philippians chapter 3 and chapter 4...

Luke chapter 14

ISAIAH 27:1-5







There is a season for everything a time and purpose for everything. Ecclesiastes chapter 3

Our problems shape our spirits. There is a time and place for pain. God tells us He is everything we need. Allow Him to draw you close. James tells us that we are to count our trials as joy. The scriptures tell us that if we lack wisdom in these matters to just ask God… who gives liberally! Then we are told not to doubt… or we will be tossed in our thoughts and unstable in everything.

In Philippians 4 we are told that mature Christians praise God in everything and we are commanded to dwell on what is praise worthy.

Everything all together…… PRACTICE changing your thinking. Practice …growing…

Practice excepting that God is in control and you are feeling and being who He created you to be. If you are humbled like Paul with the thorn in his side to having being swallowed like Jonah or broken like Job…. Know that you are God’s child… created to be like a first fruit of His creatures…learn to manage what you have and PRAISE GOD! :holy:
