  • 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.

I like never ask for prayer for myself...cause I think it is selfish...but I just feel so lost right now. For those of you that have been following my post...I am sure I already have your prayers...but for those of you that haven't...here's a short summerary. I have been through abuse as a child...sexual, physical and mental. I grew up cutting myself for a release...and got into drugs and drinking. I moved to Kansas and was surrounded by Godly things...but it scared me. I also grew up around Wicca and Santanism...so I get very confused and scared by god. I moved back to Florida to be with a guy. We were living togther...and being very sinful. I got into using cocaine and drinking a lot....I haven't cut in over a year but I think I have replaced it with drugs. My boyfirned (or ex I think) has kicked me out and now I have nothing. I left my car, and my job in Kansas and I just feel so lost...and alone. Depressed...thinking about dying every day. Life just seems like an endless ban of pain. God scares me and I can't seem to trust him...like at all. i don't know what I need...besides prayer that is.

:pray: Heavenly Father, please bring peace and confidence into Bam’s life, and help her to feel comforted; may she be relieved of the guilt that she might feel due to things that have been beyond her control; may her heart be open that she may feel the comfort of your Spirit, and feel balance in her life; please help her to regain her strength that she will be free from fear, and persevere and grow; please help her to have forgiveness in her heart, as much for herself as she needs in her life for others. Father, please help to bring her to heal mentally, physically, and spiritually. Please help her to be healthy and hopeful, and relieve her from her depression. Protect our sister, Bam, and help her to feel safe in her daily life, now, and in the future. Please help her to see her talents and nurture them to serve you, Father, and to assist others as she grows in her journey in life; may she be aware of your presence and feel safe in your arms wherever she goes. Please bless her with your Spirit that she may meet and understand her needs, and have clarity. Please help her to feel whole and complete in her heart to free her from things that she seeks to take away pain :pray: INJC.

I am lifting you up in prayer. I pray God grant you peace that passes all understanding. I know that life can be so miserable. Trust me, I've been there and am still there. There are many days that I don't even want to get out of bed. But each and every day, I do get out of bed. I try to do the best that I can in each 24 hours. Just take it one day at a time. Things will get better. Just please lean on the hope that God loves you and wants what is best for you. He will help you through. Just lean on Him.

God Bless,
Charity

Bams481 : God may scare you and you may not trust him... but you do have faith. The faith is from God, the fear, and the lack of trust is from within yourself. It is not of God. Find a Christian Church, any denomination that you choose, and throw your cares on Christ! Talk with a priest or a preacher... there is a light waiting for you. There is happiness, love, and peace. It is yours for the asking! Go and get yourself some! :)

God is there for us- he promised not to leave us and not to be afraid, because he is always there. I know you cannot feel this at the moment, but I'll pray that God will send help in your life who will show you this and help you gain peace of mind.
Praying in the name of Jesus
Amen

Heavenly Father, i pray that you would guide Bam through this time in her life. Lord, help her to realise the abundence of love that you have for her, and allow her to feel the security of your love. Lord, i pray that you would help her replace anything bad that is in her life with your love, and that you would allow her to feel some comfort, knowing that she is one of your daughters. Please bless Bam's life Lord God. In Jesus' name, Amen.

It is never selfish to pray for oneself. Remember that Jesus prayed for himself at the Garden of Gethsamane.
My heart hurts for the pain that you have been through. I pray that the Lord will shower you with a peace that passes all understanding. I would suggest that you surrender all this hurt, pain, sin to Him. Surround yourself with Godly people.
Your life can be transformed by the healing power and love of our Savior. Please place your trust in Him.
I will pray for you.

Father I pray for this young lady that you might bring her to peace and to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Might you send a caring, loving Christian her way to show her the way to salvation. Keep her in your care please and give your angels charge over her as she seeks you. In Jesus Name, Amen

dear God,

i so hurt for bam, dear God. please bring her out of the desert. you know her heart. you know her fears. you love her, and know what's right and good and fair for her. give her grace and mercy, Lord. take away her fear and pain. show her clearly, her window. give her strength with her wisdom and knowledge. we know you forgive her. we know that you love her and want what is best for her. teach her to forgive herself. teach her joy in her relationship with you. teach her how to not let her bitterness, hurt, rage, affect her actions. teach her that with you, she is not damaged goods. we know that her scars still hurt, dear God. we know that the grief is too deep. that what was done to her was evil and wrong. you didn't like that. they will pay for the damage they did to your child. heal her heart, again i pray, dear God. teach her how to reject those actions she wants to do to not face the pain and grief of her loss. her loss of innocence, dear God. teach her, that though they vilified her body, and her soul, and her heart, you will clean her, and make her pure again. take her guilt from her. take her shame and her anger from her. teach her how to protect herself. teach her how to thrive on your glory. teach her heart to become married to you, to depend and commit herself to you, to submit to you--even in her anger at you. show her the joys of forgiving herself, others, and you.
you are such an awesome God, amen.
