  • 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

I'm still struggling with my clinical depression, but just when things are getting better, something bad happens. I don't understand why. I'm at one of the lowest points in my life. I pray all the time, but I don't feel very close to Him. Please pray with me so that I may feel Him again working in my life and that He will help in the latest set back.

Caf11,

The Lord God knows exactly where you are right now. Although I have not been diagnosed with clinical depression, I recently had a severe bout that latest a few months. It was the usual slow start and then worked its way into a tormenting stage, up until a few weeks ago. Excessive weeping, sadness, anxiety, fear, etc. and just utter hopelessness. I cried out to the Lord and all I could whimper was Help! Help! Rescue your daughter Lord! Help! It was a pretty tough time.

However severe your bout is, then you need to pray with the same urgency and momentum. In addition to praying Ephesians 6:10-18, whenever a bad thought would start up, I would say aloud, "NO! In the name of Jesus Christ I take this thought captive and command it to submit and obey Christ right this moment, right now! Until the thoughts leave.

May the Lord's Shalom peace blanket you with the warmth of his love and security. In Jesus' name. Amen. I will pray continuously and fervently on your behalf.

Praying for your strength, hope, peace, and healing ~ God bless you :crossrc:

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
Look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us,
That in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent,
But with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will,
Which is Love and Mercy itself.

~ The Divine Mercy Prayer
