• 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!

Shalom - as I moving forward to get a PhD/applying to programs after completing my Masters, I have been praying for steady work as well in my field of teaching - and applying to several places, I have been asking for favor/wisdom and for something to connect so that I can go forward in what God has for me/those in my family. Many thanks are appreciated :)

Prayers for you and your family!

I need to ask for prayers for a safe and peaceful life for my family and I in Russia. My current residency is coming to an end and they are doing nothing to extend it. I'm an older man with nowhere to return to. Starting a new life somewhere else feels beyond my strength. Political declamations of Russia by the US as a "threat" have made things worse for me as well.
Lord have mercy.

Please pray for my health and healing. I have been sick for going on 3 months now. I have been to the emergency room 5 times and seen every doctor imaginable in between, and no one can find anything wrong with me. I've had to quit my job, one that I absolutely loved and worked so very hard to get. It has all really taken toll on me mentally and physically, not to mention the burden it has put on my family. It has also tested my faith, which is probably the biggest hurt of all, as I never want to question God's will or reason.
Lord have mercy.

Prayers for you all.

If you could keep a lady in my parish in your prayers, she could definitely use them. She was helping to put up Christmas decorations at church today when she fell and hit her head. She's currently in the ICU. Her name is Jennie.
Lord have mercy.

I ask for your prayers because I am a most sinful man, yet I have no compunction. Please pray that God may help me to receive the gift of genuine compunction and tears for my many inexcusable offenses. Thank you.

Lord, have mercy!!!

My own situation remains fairly grim. My residency has expired and my driver's license and employment contract with it, I can't get my bank card reissued without current valid ID, and I'm going around with a certified paper saying that my case is under determination in the INS office, a paper which expires right after the New Year.

Lord have mercy! Please also pray for me for sincere repentance and evaluation of my life, as I need to learn how to focus more on our Lord and Savior.

I can relate. I'm glad Matt quoted and commented - somehow I didn't see this.

You have my prayers as well, such as they are. I pray that for myself every time I pray, so ... well, anyway, I'm sure the lack is mine. I will pray for you as well!

I got my residency approved and returned yesterday. I also got a new driver's license, same day. It was stressful, lots of waiting, and tight schedules to make, as I still had to teach all my lessons. My thanks for all of your prayers, I prayed a lot to St Nicholas and St Stephanie.

The entire nation shuts down on Friday for the New Year and Julian Christmas, so it was pretty much down to the wire.

Thanks again! Glory to God!
