• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

What is my life about? What am I existing for, I am hanging on a short thread. I don't know where to move to, I don't know what job to do, or how to get out and improve my life. I have been on antidepressants for 8yrs straight, and was suggested that since they couldn't find anything or combos to help, to try other things, such as christian counselling. This did help for 4yr until she stopped practicing. It is ok, but I feel like I get up and live, but I don't enjoy being here or have anything or anyone to live for.....No goals, directions or aspirations.
God, why am I here if not to do some good here, and not just exist......I am alive and breathing, I should be thankful for that but not doing much else. It is hard to be thankful for having a job when it is the type of job that keeps you from even attending church and bible studies....on Sundays, and evenings. I want to move and start over and don't know how, or why? I am alone here in this place. No family, and a few friends, but I am sure they get tired of me, as I do myself. I have reached out of myself to help others, but feel rejection, and I turn and hide in my own skin.
I look at others who have it sooooo bad, friends in bad health and cancer, and yet I tend to cry everyday because I am so sad. I am 49 and want to go and live under a rock until God comes and gets me.
Pray that God intervenes and pulls me up........yesterday I found out that a lady that mentored me had died.....Things like this don't help! I feel soooooo alone, and confused in my own thoughts and messed up head.
Not making any sense here, I know. Thank you for letting me vent.

I know depression pretty well. God once delivered me. However I am back in it again. There are some helpful books I have found. Tony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within has given me some coping strategies that are helpful. The problem is I have the techniques, but don't much care. But it is some help.

I pray you are uplifted and healed from your situation.

Lord, Your Son, our Savior suffered the pain of rejection, He suffered that feeling of rejection so that we would not have to.

Lord, I ask that you have mercy for this dear sister and give her a sound mind, a clear mind, help her to get a renewed mind, a revived spirit, show her special favor, let her know she is never alone.

Help her to understand how much we at cf want to reach out to her and love her and put the desire in her to become a part of this familly.

Lord, I ask you to create in her a happy heart, a heart of joy, a merry heart that doeth good as a medicine. May she find comfort and courage and strength in You our Lord. In Jesus' name I pray. amen

Dear Lord, I pray for Silly that she would have direction and a sense of purpose in her life. I pray for her health that she would get better. I pray that you would lift her spirits and show her that she is much needed in this world, her precious love. I pray for the family of the mentor that died and for silly that they would be comforted. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
