• 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

Ok, I have known for the past few years what God wants me to do with my life but I feel like Satan is attacking me -- I feel panicked, fearful, and scared of life itself all of the sudden -- and I know that God does not give the spirit of fear and foolish doubt, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

I felt so weak and restless because of this that I couldn't go to sleep last night. I stayed up to 3 in the morning reading my Bible, searching for answers.

I need prayers of peace and that God shows me what my purpose in life is, that if it's the same one I've been chasing all these years or if it's different and I've just been listening to the voice of the enemy all along. Right now I feel alone and in the dark, like my life has just come crashing down after so many years of spiritual structure and being so sure of where God was leading me. Now I don't feel like He's there anymore.

:cry:

Will pray for you. :prayer: And yes, God is there!

Are you able to share more of your dilemma?

I will definitely be praying for you. I am so glad to read that you have already taken the right steps. You're praying and drawing closer to God instead of pulling back from Him! Good for you! Not everyone would do that. :) Keep in close communion with the Lord. He's there for you.
