  • 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

Some of you know me, some of you don't. but I would like to ask all who lift up to the Lord, say a prayer for my daughter. She is in Basic Training for the Army right now, and is really struggling. She is doing the single most difficult thing in her life, and is at a point, where she doesn't think she can cut it. I know she can. Her name is Elisabeth. :prayer:

Sure will- I will be in your same boots in about 2 and half years if my youngest has his way!

Father, We ask that you help Elisabeth get through this troubling time. Please encourage her, and bless her.

Thank you Lord.
In the name of Jesus we pray for her

Praying for your daughter that she would endure the rigors of basic training...Years ago, I went through this, so I know how tough it can be...especially to be homesick and away from home. I had some good "buddies" and we leaned on each other for encouragement. May the Lord give your daughter some good "buddies" too.

Thank you, Del66, I appreciate this! I wanted to bump this up with an update. She is almost halfway through her training, and is plugging along. She is getting stronger, and is dealing with the stresses. She has also asked me to send her a Bible!! Praise God!! For a long time, she wanted nothing to do with the church. This is truly an answer to prayer! Keep praying!!

Thank you for this prayer. I guess you would know!! I know that years ago, women didn't train for combat, but now theyare right up alongside of the men. It is hard for her, but by the grace of God, she is getting through! She was a 20 y/o couch potato!:eek:

Heavenly Father, I come to you tonight, asking you to bless my child, and give her a good nights rest. She is halfway through her training, and I ask you to continue your watchcare over her, lead her and guide her through her days. Give her strength and purpose. Help her as she continues along. If she feels an anxiety attack coming, calm her, and soothe her. I can't be with her to help her contain them, so, Lord, I am relying on you, and your goodness, your mercy, and your grace. Thank you Lord, for all you do, I ask these things in your precious holy name, amen.
