• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Prayer requests post here!

If any of you could spare a moment to pray for me, I would be grateful. I have been faced with some difficult circumstances. I very much put all of my eggs in one basket in terms of where my life was going, and since that fell to pieces, I have been struggling to find direction.

Lord have mercy on you, my friend!

my daughter is vomiting constantly. It's the middle of the night, all pharmacies are closed.
Pray for us, especially Stephanie!
We are convalescing at home now, watching Fantasia for the first time. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"

Thanks again!

Everyone,
I am in need of interviews to come through that will lead to a job ASAP. Have applied to many places online and am signed up with employment agencies, but nothing has come of it yet. Have very, very little finances coming in at the moment. Due to a loophole on my employer's part, I'm not able to collect full unemployment benefits as I look for work.

Thank you for your prayers!

Prayers for you!

St. Xenia has been a very good one to ask for prayers as well.

Thank you, Anastasia. I know of St. Xenia and am asking for her intercession as well!
You're welcome.

I can't help but mention her.

I was new to the whole idea of asking for intercession, and not entirely comfortable with it. I had been out of work for a couple of years. My husband was working in another state for over six months, and I only saw him on visits. I asked St. Xenia's prayers ... and within days I had a job, he lost his job, but then he came home and immediately found another job which he has been with ever since and they treat him very well and provide him with plenty of work. He's in construction, and turnover after a few months isn't unusual, nor is days or even weeks with no work. But for almost two years now, things have been different.

And my job is such that I can attend Church when we have it (my number one concern) AND I haven't lost my job in spite of being out for several months now.

So I can't help but suggest asking her prayers. :)

I hope it all works out for you, well and quickly!

I would like to ask for prayers again as well. I let my other thread die, and I think it needs to stay buried. I'm almost done with treatments, one more week to go (though that is supposed to be stronger).

I can really use prayer though. The pain is getting difficult, the fatigue is back, but I can't sleep much. Worst of all I'm not able to turn it to prayer myself - my prayers are suffering too.

Just one more week, then it will soon start to heal, they tell me. By 5 more weeks I should be mostly past it.

God is good. But I am weak, lol.

Thank you all, and God be with you all!

I'd very much like to ask for prayers for Stabat Mater

As some of us know his melanoma progressed rather unexpectedly and since the start of the month he's been having Chemo.

He's not been seen online since Oct 11 - and I have to admit feeling very concerned .

Lord have mercy !
