• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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.

Ok...I've had a thought. I don't know whether it will work or not. Basically, we post in here the prayers that we want to say to help us get through what we are going through. This will not be a thread for people to reply to, just for people to post their prayers. Some people find it hard to write things down to help them, so I thought that this might be a good way to do this.

Dear God,

Please please please help me to focus and make a lot of progress on my thesis proposal...you know all the stuff that's going aroung in my head...please make it stop or at least slow down so i can concentrate and get some work done. Please God, calm the anxiety inside of me and give me the words and thoughts and insights i need to write this proposal. I really need clarity. Help me to trust you and lean on you. You've shown me that i can trust you because you helped me to get high marks despite what i've been going through. Please help me to really feel your calming presence with me now and i continue in my work. Help me to really know that you are here with me...comforting and guiding me. In Your Mighty Name i pray.

Thank you Jesus for helping me to be OK in the midst of circumstances. You are an awesome God.

I pray that my daughters Teresa and Cynde will turn their hearts to you for the answers they are seeking in their lives right now. I thank you for our son becoming a minister, he is the only minister in our extended family that we are aware of.. exciting stuff.

I pray for our troops and ask you to bless them and their families for the sacrifices they are making for our continued freedom. It must be so extra hard this time of year!

I pray for my loved ones, my friends, family and enemies that they may all find their way to you! Help me Lord to always be an example you will be proud of when I am with others. And I praise you for the mighty work you are doing in my life and the lives of so many others. Thank you for hearing and answering this prayer.

Dear God,

You know how scared i am because "mum" is away. Please help me not to fall into victim behaviours while she's away on holidays. Instead, help me to live as a survivor for your glory. Please comfort me and know that these three weeks will pass and then i can have a big hug...which i need so much.

God, please comfort and hold all those who are dealing with similar things. Help them to also feel your loving presence in times that are sometimes too difficult for words.

I pray these things in Your Mighty Name, Amen.

Lord,

I know that I don't pray to you as much as what I should. I am so sorry that I have not focussed on you. Please forgive me? You know that I long to be close to you, and that I want so much to do your will, but I am finding it so hard.

I thought that dealing with my past would be easy and quick. How wrong was I? Why do I have to go through all this? Are you testing me in some way to see how much I can cope with? Well, I feel like I can't cope with much at the moment.

I feel like everything is gaining in on me. Work seems to be never ending. My health isn't great at the moment. I know it's only a cold and that I will get over it soon, but why now? I do so much as well for other people and just feel that I get treated like a piece of crap. No one ever appreciates me for who I am and what I do. So why are you putting me through this? Why can't something go right for once? Why me?

Please Lord, hold me and take away my tears.

Amen

Lord,

I feel I can't take much more at the moment. I really want to hurt myself so much because I feel so worthless. When is anything ever going to be right in my life? How much longer do I have to suffer this pain? I drink so much to try and numb the pain, but it still won't go away.

I really want to try and be strong. I want to get over this and beat the devil that is by my side. But it is so hard at the moment. I just wish that things would be a little bit easier, and that I could see a clear path for me to walk through.

Please hear my prayer Lord.

Lord, I am turning to you once again for help. I am so fed up at work. It's like I am back at school all over again. Why am I going through this. Why can't things just be a little easier. All I want is to be normal. Why can't things be normal for me?

Please help me?

LORD, Please bless me with the peace that passes all understanding. Help me to Walk by Faith, not by Sight. I also have some major decisions to make that will effect my walk with You. Help me to open up and share with other believers. There are times the pain is so great, I seem to be grieving all the time.

Lord, I just want to thank you for sticking with me and providing for me when I needed you most. I know that the last 3/4 months haven't been great, and that there were times where I really wanted to give up. I'm glad that I didn't though. I have made it through this trial and have come out the other side a stronger person. All because of you. Thank you so much. Amen.

Please pray for November 29th. I have a custody hearing on November 29th please pray for my hearing. I am trying to obtain primary custody of my son. Right now I have shared custody. His father was abusive to me in every way and physically abusive to my animals. I don't trust him with my son. My soon to be ex is lying like crazy to my old church and my family he lied to and everyone else for that matter. He told everyone he never hurt me. I had to leave my church because they continued to want me to go back to him despite them knowing all the ways he physically abused me. I've already seen some changes in my son negative changes from being around his dad so much more now please pray the custody ruling is overturned and they give me primary. My ex is saying he has turned to God after 11 years of a marriage where he didn't serve God and was horrible to me now he is claiming to have been converted but continues to lie about being an abuser that is how I know he is lying about the conversion pray also that God would STRONGLY convict him to tell the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wondered if I was the only one here facing that. I know this thread isn't for replies, but rather for prayers, however-- Greta went through something like I'm going through now.

Now, my Father who is in Heaven, I ask that You be with me as I have to walk through my present trials. I am a battered man, and of course my wife, who did the battering, denies everything and makes it appear as if I'm the bad guy. Tonight as I write this, I am devastated financially, emotionally and to some degree in my spirit as well. God, I publicly confess my need for You here on this forum. In Jesus' Name.
