  • 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.

hey. i was wondering if people could pray for me as I've had this idea to suggest whether its possible to set up a cafe in my town which has a christian atmosphere/backing. but i dont want to suggest it if its just something i want rather than a plan of Gods. So please could you pray for me to be able to hear God and whether or not this is something for him or not. Thanks

Lord, I lift my sister up in prayer right now. I pray that your will be done for her life...may you give her the wisdom and clarity to discern what is from you and what is not. Be with her as she looks to you for guidance and direction. Amen.

Hello Sarah, it sounds like a great idea to me. Our Father can see that your heart is in the right place and he will meet your needs according to his will, so start giving him the praise for it right now! It will show him you have faith and it will make you feel much better to. I want to share the article below with you and join you in prayer too. Take care and May God Bless you!

Father, I give you praise and thanks for already working on this (after all you sent each of us here)! All glory and honor are yours. In Jesus name I pray that THY will is done and I pray in agreement with others here too. Thank you for joining us in prayer and for all of your blessings, Amen

Everything's Going to Be All Right!
by Joyce Meyer

Did you know that God wants to make a trade with you? He has a standing offer every minute of every day, and it’s amazing how few of us actually take Him up on it. He wants you to give Him all your cares, problems and failures. In return He’ll give you His peace and joy. On top of that, He promises to protect and take care of you.

God really does want to take care of us, but in order to let Him, we’ve got to stop trying to take care of ourselves and worrying about every little thing we can’t control. Many people would like for God to take care of them, but they insist on worrying or trying to figure out an answer on their own, instead of waiting for God’s direction. They wallow around in puddles of their own worry, wondering why God doesn’t give them peace. God will give us peace, but we must first give Him our worries.

We give God our worries by trusting that He can and will take care of us. By trusting God, we’re able to rest in Him, knowing that He has the situation well under control. Worry, on the other hand, is the opposite of trust. Worry steals our peace, wears us out physically, and can even make us sick. If we’re worrying, we’re not fully trusting God, and we’ll never be able to experience His peace.

What a great trade! We give God our worry, and He gives us His peace. We give Him all our cares and concerns, and He gives us His protection, stability and joy. That’s the privilege of being cared for by Him.

Because He cares for us, He wants us to live in peace and not all tied up in knots of worry. He has ways of guiding us toward peace if we’re alert enough to sense His direction.

Imagine that you’re driving down a road. Along the way there are signs that provide direction or give warning. If you pay attention to the signs and follow their instructions, you will safely reach your destination.

In the same way, on the road of life there are spiritual signs along the way. In order to stay under God’s protection, you must obey these signs that tell you to trust Him and not worry. Don’t be afraid; have courage. If you’ll pay attention to these signs, you’ll find it’s easy to stay on course. You’ll experience the protection, peace and joy that only God can provide.

However, if you fail to heed the signs, you may notice that the road seems a little bumpier than usual, and you aren’t as confident in your ability as you once were. You may become anxious about the unknown things waiting around the corner, and even veer off the road.

Anxiety is like putting on a heavy coat on a hot summer day. It weighs you down. It’s difficult to move and stifling to wear. According to Webster’s Dictionary, anxiety is “a state of being uneasy, apprehensive, or worried….” Sometimes this uneasiness is really vague—something we just can’t put our finger on. All we know is that we’re uneasy.

You and I don’t need to be anxious about tomorrow when we have all we can handle today. Even if we manage to solve all our problems today, we’ll just have more to deal with tomorrow…and more the next day.

Why waste time worrying when it’s not going to solve anything? Why be anxious about yesterday, which is gone, or tomorrow, which hasn’t arrived yet? Trade in your worries today for God’s peace. Remember, everything’s going to be all right.

Father God, I pray for Your Will here, if this is the right thing, impress on this one's heart and make everything fall into place one after another, if not, then close the idea off immediately with a sign that it is not meant to be at this time, In Jesus Name we give You thanks for the answer, whatever it may be, Amen

Hi Sarah,
Sounds awesome to me! God will show you. Blessings, Denise

Father in heaven,
Thank you for dreams and ideas! It is exciting to have thoughts of what could be impressed upon our hearts. If you would like Sarah to proceed with this idea, we ask that you show her and grant provision and support necessary for success. Thank you for your lovingkindness and for all the wonderful ways we can minister through you. Amen.
