• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hi all,

Please pray for my acute clinical depression. It is getting worse and I am so down on my faith, hope and I feel unloved.

Thanks.

Praying that you will be aware of Gods love, grace and peace. Praying for your faith to be strengthened (but realize that often involves adversity). God bless as you are faithful.

Lord, send help to her for the depression she has and that she can get help from doctors. Help her with her faith, show her there is hope and she is loved by you. Be there for her and show her you are listening. Send her your love, peace, comfort and strength. I pray for this, in Jesus name, Amen.

I am on medication already for it.

Seems like the last year the medication is not working anymore.


Thank you all for your prayers. Keep me in them all week please.

My wife is struggling with severe depression too. She's been seeing a Biblical Counselor. I've been through psychotherapy for many years. But this counselor tries to locate the cause of the depression and fix it. It seems like a sound approach to me. I'm not saying go off your meds. But maybe you can find someone at church to counsel with (your pastor?) or even find a psychologist who is a Bible believing therapist?

Speaking from my own experience, you really need a group of Christians that you can discuss this openly with and not get judged. I used to go to Celebrate Recovery. That was a great group. I would encourage you to find one nearby and go.
