• 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.

While was in bed, I was thinking about a horrendous crime that a couple committed year ago towards a young girl (this was in the news some time ago).

At one point I became so disgusted by the crime that a thought came into my mind that if I had a choice would I give up my salvation to have prevented it for
Happening (though it would be impossible to)?

I think in the heat of emotion I chose "yes".

I then freaked out and prayed to God that I didnt mean it and my real answer would be "I don't know".

Even despite this I still worry. What now?

Pray, Pray, Pray. God knows your heart, better than you do. He will never let you go, no matter how hard you try. So forgive yourself, get it right with God (as you have) then move on. Spend time in his word, meditate on his promises. Draw closer to him. His mercy is new, every morning. You are a new creation, washed in the blood, old things have passed away and you are new again. Dwell on that which is holy, pure, righteous. Bring every thought captive to the word of God. Remember, you are a child of the king, joint heirs with Jesus, Royalty. Look to God, he delights in you, you are the apple of his eye. (these are scriptures, not just words, God's promises)
God Bless, You are awesome. You have a big heart, God will bless it.
