• 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.

Amen Amen Amen.

John B everything is going to be alright. I pray that everything works out for you. I know the Lord is proud that despite it all, through storms and heartache, you are continuing to walk toward Him and not let these thoughts cause you to turn away from Him.

Annrobert we are in His hands and can't be plucked!

James AH the Holy Spirit is truly amazing. Today, it made me invite someone to church that I really wasn't on good standing with, the more it's outside of me, the more I know it's the Lord within me.

Bless you all =]

Newfielove is right :: We need to praise God through our circumstance. Because it could have been worse than this and we could have been somewhere else due to these thoughts, but we are being kept and held in this storm and the Lord is truly good.


Mathew 14: 14

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

John 10

27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30I and my Father are one.

I always don't like to say I understand at the beg of everything post, but I do. You are not alone. There were nights where I woke up out the midst of sleep and the thoughts bombarded me and the Lord calmed me down and put me back to sleep. When that happens, just pray and try to remember something that the Lord said. He said you can't be plucked and He will not leave you comfortless so you know that you are safe. I'm praying and I hope you have better nights. Reading your post just know, I had to thank God because I noticed how after many nights of interrupted sleep, I can get through a night of peace. And He will do the same for you. Just pray and although the storm is raging, find peace in that our Lord how power to rebuke the winds. =]
