  • 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

and it continues....

thank you all for your prayers... I need more now...

my Christian psychologist closed his practice...and today was my last time to see him...and I had no warning. He is battling esophageal cancer...pray for him.

I've been going to him for 26 years...3x a week... since my disabling injury...to help me cope with day to day living in pain, and with ptsd (caused by the near death experience and the ongoing garbage the system and lawyers do to me (like following me the last 2 years))...

Losing my service dog Caleb ripped my heart out...
Losing my Christian psychological support of 26 years has taken my soul...

Hi Jean Sis'

My Mary has, this type, of cancer and, it has metastasized into her tummy lining

Her treatment is termed 'palliative' _and not, 'curative'
It is 'inoperable', for reason; that it is aggressive
and there is the likelihood
that cells will escape into the rest of her body

Yes, I know what your psychologist is facing :prayer:

Because I believe ... that NOTHING transpires within this world
WITHOUT .... that God allows it, to occur
I also believe ...
we should face these 'trials' with courage and faith
for God, WILL
see us through ALL that He brings us to face

Our Lord means to prosper-us ~not, to bring us low [bankrupt us] ?
Jesus is with you [us] see Matthew 18:19-20 (NIV)

What man, tell-me... can take-away that which God has given us ????

Yes, you are being sorely-tested... but, don't you give-up :thumbsup:

Don't give up on Him or, yourself

Deuteronomy 31:8
New International Version (NIV)

8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”



You are in our prayers Jean Sis'
and your psychologist, is in God's merciful care
:amen:


your Bro'

Yes I think so...

He says he'll be back... He wants me to be positive (I didn't tell him I don't believe him...) and trust God.

I fear God will "heal" him like God "healed" Caleb--- take him to heaven.

On top of my grief I have shame for being so selfish and pitiful.

Thank you for your encouraging words and graphics... I am so alone.

My thanks also to RockyTopVA who has PMd me with encouraging words... (not sure he's old enough to read here? I have brain fog... PTSD stress etc does that.)

And, so it was with Mary

To begin, she couldn't swallow [?]
Her weight, simply fell away from her [?]
It fell, from 9 stones 4lbs [130 ~english pounds]
to 5 stones [70lbs ~english pounds]

Two rounds of chemo enabled her to swallow
and regain some weight [slowly]
now at the fourth round, she weighs 6 stones [84lbs ~english pounds]


So it is, that with two further rounds [cycles] of chemo, left to go [four completed (of six)]
we KNOW
that the esophageal tumour, MUST, have shrunk
~to permit her to swallow [??] AND!!!
that because that tumour has been, so affected
there is, little doubt, that the secondaries
those cells that escaped into her stomach lining
have also been similarly affected


From 'where', comes your 'doubt' and your 'uncertainty' ?????
are you hearing 'insidious whispers' ???

Don't look into the 'darkness' LOOK UP
Look up, into the light

He did not create His children ~to damn them [?]

:pray: Psalm 23


Read: Isaiah 26 (NIV)

Isaiah 26 NIV - A Song of Praise - In that day this - Bible Gateway


and HOLD-ON, to His word

your Bro'

dave



PS.... I took my 'loneliness' into the garden shed ~to a hangman's noose
and He told me...... "Wait until morning, things, will be different then"

Since that night
when there was no reason in my heart and mind ~to live on
I have been blessed with
'two' further granddaughters
with 'peace'
and 'another family' that love me
I have friends around the world [on distant continents]
and
despite my physical weaknesses.... I live
I live, because of Him \o/

Fight, for what is right !
and don't give up
NO! NEVER GIVE UP

:hug:


your Bro'

((((dave)))) big hugs... may you always be comforted and rewarded for you consistent blessing to others...ME especially!

May the doctors see God's healing in both Mary, and Mark! Cancer be gone!



Pray that GOD will give the opposing lawyer for the disability insurance company a heart and provide what we're asking for...before the trial on the 2nd... with PTSD the mere idea of going to the courthouse is not doable, yet I must...and be on stand answering questions.. my throat closes and my brain freezes under stress... PRAY for God to intervene soon? Thanks..folks... thank you...

Prayers are working! Please continue--and thank you!

The doctor called for a few minutes and sounds very strong. He asserted that he will reopen his office, but that because they are bulldozing the building where he was, he had to close it. whew!
(you must know that due to stress I don't always hear things correctly, then add in my being hard of hearing...)

PLUS

the JUDGE himself postponed the trial (wink wink--we know it was GOD telling him to right?) to Mid May. Surely that is time for the opposition to realize that I do need these things and to stop fighting them??? Well, with your prayers God can make them understand! :prayer:

I know this is very trivial compared to some of the prayer requests below, but I am really struggling with the degree I am doing, partly because it is so atheist and partly because it is so hard. Added to that a relative is making things difficult for me. I need to tell them how I feel, but they are not a Christian so I want to be careful not to say anything which will be bad witness, as I am concerned about their lack of salvation (which is not trivial of course).

Please would you pray for their salvation and also for my degree - whether or not to continue, and if I do go on how to do so without my relative's interference, and for some understanding of the subject matter. I believe the Lord led me to do it (despite it being through a secular university) but Satan is trying to stop me. I always have some issue before every assignment and although the Lord gives me victory and the assignment gets done, I am sick of the spiritual battles. The work is hard enough without them!

Many thanks. :hug:
