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.

I am asking for prayer for my unsaved uncle, who is dying of cancer. My uncle has lived a very hard life. He does not have very much time left. I have family members who claim to be Christian but their lives do not show evidence of this. My husband and I want to go see him so that we can witness to him before it is too late. I am asking for God to provide a way for us to go visit him in Oklahoma. There are obstacles in our way though but I am more than confident that God will make a way when there seems to be no other way. The obstacles are 1) my physical health; 2) no family close enough to take care of our seven children; 3) finances. I know that if it is God's will, He will provide us the means to go.

Prayer that I resist extreme anger I have at my ex-girlfriend's family and the church on earth.

I'll pray for better than resisting it. I'll pray that God brings you into a private healing place with Him where you connect with the answers He has to the questions behind the anger, and gives you relief and peace from those bitter-rooted feelings as you work it through.
I also tend to be frustrated (and at times angry) with the church ... so I can relate.

Pray that I can get into my school's band. Right now the band directors don't have a problem with it but I could have potential scheduling issues. This is something I really want to do so please pray for me! God bless

Um, if any of you remember anything about me mentioning my brother in law and all that....I would really really really really appreciate prayers for him...I am not gonna type much more than that, because most likely I would get even more upset than I am at the moment and end up ranting and not being the kindest...but, if you could just please pray for him...please...

Hello all ~ I have been praying for emotional healing the last 2.5 years. I have chronic migraines and have had some problems with anxiety/panic attacks. Both have really decreased since God has healed me of most of those wounds. I have even come to recognize joy and experience it for a few days.
My problem is that just when I think I've arrived at having joy, someone comes along and squashes it. It is not my memories sabotaging this [this is usually what happens] but rather people who attack me by showing no grace towards me...which then opens up old wounds from my past. One in particular happened tonight and I am having a hard time dealing with it.
Specifically, the wounds I am referring to tonight are from my grandmother, and somewhat my father. Gma, though professing Christian, was abusive. She physically abused my grandfather and the rest of us she verbally/emotionally abused. For what ever reason, in spite of her abuse my parents made me visit her and act all loving, etc. She had many unwritten rules that I was expected to know...which I didn't...so I would be yelled at by her for no reason. Imagine Rosie ODonnell on steriods screaming at a little kid. That's the best I can come up with to describe. I have had lots of healing over my anger concerning her...but am still working on my anger over being forced by my parents to visit her. I have lots of anger yet over that one.
Then, tonight just when I thought I was almost healed of that...and was feeling that elusive joy once again, a cousin that I thouht I was safe with did a mini-gma thing by getting mad at me for breaking a rule of hers that she never told me about. I am overwhelmed by the old feelings of no self-worth and not being safe anymore around people. I could use some prayer about all of this. thanks.

Some of you remember that my 4 year old daughter has a condition called Kidney reflux. Without going into detail, it can cause kidney damage but is manageable with treatment and most children grow out of it without much difficulty.
On Monday we have to take her in for an annual procedure which is not fun! The purpose of this is to see if the reflux has either cleared up or gotten worse.
Right now she has to take an antibiotic every night until her condition improves. I would love to know that she doesn't have to do that anymore. On the other hand, if the reflux is worse we have to look at either surgery or an outpatient procedure.
So, I'm asking for prayers that the day goes well and we get good news.
Thanks guys.
