  • 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

I spotted this post by Dave in 'chit chat' #699 and I am taking the liberty of adding him to this Prayer thread :angel:

I am 'up' for further blood tests...
~ a non-fasting ANNUAL Review incl's water test
and also a Fasting Bloods, at the end of the month
Things haven't been so cool with me, this month
with stabbing discomfort [timed, with/to diastolic]
I have refrained from visiting A&E, because it passes, within one minute- 90 seconds
If it becomes more-prolonged or, more painful, then I won't hesitate
I will simply mention it, at the end of the month exam
your Bro'
dave

Dave ~ Praying for your upcoming tests, healing of the discomfort you are experiencing,
and for the speedy and accurate completion of the upgrades to your home #404 .

My God bless you in His Merciful Love :prayer::crossrc::prayer:

Lord, hear our prayers
:pray:
Lord, you know our weaknesses, as well, as you know us, each by name
Strengthen us we :pray:
as we acknowledge your will for us and, as we receive our Daily Bread
Guide our footsteps, that we might walk ever-nearer to you
and ever-closer to your will, for us
:amen:


Thank you for your 'prayer -add' Gail Sis' :hug:

I have, no 'concerns' :thumbsup:
I sincerely believe, that... I am, 'where, He wants me to be'
and, in believing this
I feel really 'comfortable' with where I find myself

Psalm 23

:prayer:
The Lord's Prayer



May God bless you all

All of those mentioned will be in my prayers. I saw the note about Brother Dave in the other thread, so Brother Dave is already in my prayers. May God give the doctors skill to give the best treatment possible.

ARE YOU A COSMIC ACCIDENT?

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:13-14

I want you to picture your heart,
that powerful machine pumping inside your chest.
Believe it or not, it’s about the size of your fist and weighs less than a half a pound.
Yet in less than twelve hours, it does enough work to lift 65 tons off the ground!

And not only that,
but if you were to line up the veins, arteries, and capillaries
of the average adult end-to-end, they would stretch over 60,000 miles.
That’s nearly 2 ½ times around the world!

Three millennia ago, before any of these facts would’ve been known,
the psalmist said we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
How can any rational person look at the human body
and not see a divine hand in its design?

You are created by God, not in a factory, but custom-made
unlike any other person in the world.

God made creation.
He constructed light years upon light years of universe.
Yet that very same God also knit you together in your mother’s womb.
He intricately crafted you before you even took your first breath as a newborn baby.

You have significance.
You’re not the product of an accident.
God created you;
He sustains you;
and He loves you.
Praise Him today for that amazing fact!

THE GOD WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE
ALSO INTRICATELY WOVE YOU TOGETHER.
YOU’RE NO ACCIDENT.
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS AMAZING WORK!

Thank you Robert Bro' :thumbsup:
:wave:

Pat, our friend in Alabama
has asked me [via email] to post a prayer request, for herself
to this end I have posted a copy of her email [below]
Please :pray: according to how your heart leads you
God bless you

dave



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Hello Pat, dear friend


I will for sure, post a request, for prayers, for you, as you ask
You will find a link to this message, near the bottom of this page
Let us praise God, for His grace and attention, to Iris' needs
:amen:

LOL Pat,
We aren't looking-forward to budgie chicks [too soon]
and thus far, we have kept the males and females apart, at roost time
We allow them to fly freely [together] around the living room on most days

Hoping, Ben's boxer, will have a trouble-free whelping :thumbsup:
and, that all of the pups will be fine and healthy :pray:

Please, give Wallace our very best regards

Your friends from across the pond

dave and Mary



prayer request here ->
#180
=============================================================




UPDATE:

Pat has asked me to thank you all for your prayers


I hope Mary conveyed my good news yesterday -
that the dr. couldn't find any abnormal cells during the colpo test!
Thank you anyway for your prayers- can always use as many as I get!

Sent from my iPad

Pat

:amen:


Thank you all ... His answer to our prayers are worthy of our praising Him
:pray:

:amen:

Posted by Debbie on Steve's Profile page today
Hi all.
We are so thankful for your prayer and well wishes.
I am so sad to report that Steves kidneys are shutting down.
He is sleeping all the time.
The hospice nurse said that he has a week or two left.
He is unaware of of everything.
Please continue to pray for Steve and our family.
Yours in Christ
Debbie

*ETA: Steve's thread It's good this area doesn't get much attention (3)
:cry:

Lord have mercy :crossrc:

May God in His Mercy take Steve Home with Him.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 KJV 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Please pray for Maria (65) who is suffering from complications after mitral valve surgery, and has other medical conditions.
Thank you ~ God bless :crossrc:

*ETA: please pray for her husband Dick (@72) who has health issues also.
Praise God..Maria is doing so well now, she will be home this week :clap:

On the other hand, Dick is in the ER with a terrible virus....which may mean Maria going to rehab instead of home until he is well :doh:

Thank you for your continued prayers :pray:

I know being with the Lord is the best thing for any of us....but this is making me feel so sad.

Maybe reading about the death all the time...it is always in the news...maybe that is part of the sadness for me.

I can think of Jesus tho...coming out of that tomb...death does not have the last word thanks to Him.

I didn't have the opportunity to know Steve very well, but is saddens me as well, for his children and family. It also brings into focus even more that just three years ago, we took my husband off of life support an he passed to Glory on Aug. 26.

My heart and prayers are with his family. I too pray that Steve doesn't linger.
