• 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

Please pray for my mom

My mom, who is almost 67, is under so much stress, plus she' suffers from clinical depression, and when she's not taking care of us, she has absolutely nothing to do. Now normally I wouldn't be too worried about this, but lately she has made it clear that she doesn't feel much of a contact with God lately, and whenever I try to cheer her up with biblical encouragement, she just nods, instead of quoting scripture to me like she used to. I'm worried she's, on top of all of this, is having a spiritual backsliding. She's by far the strongest christian I've ever known, so upsets me very much. Please pray for her, her name is Rhonda.

Hey, sis! :heartdecoration:
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I prayed for her and for you.
Perhaps this may strengthen her faith like it has for mine many times.
The video below is fast-forwarded intentionally for your viewing :) It should start at around 52:22. Hope it encourages and strengthens her faith! I've probably watched it about 6 or 7 times now- it's so powerful and down-to-earth.

Bless her heart, and yours. Praying for your precious mom at this most difficult time. May God intervene and minister and heal as only He can, dear heart. (((hug)))

(You may want to ask a mod to move this thread to the Prayer Forum where many can pray for your mom and you too.) (((hug)))
