• 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!

Wasn't there a wish?
Wasn't there a dream Somewhere?

Wasn't there a world; One with better days?
Waiting for us out there Somewhere?

Wasn't there Something sacred?
Something to give us hope?

Are there still miracles?
Or will all the graces of God forever fall to the shame of man?

Can anybody help me change the things that I see?

If there was a light; Something sacred?
Something to give hope?

Would we find miracles?
Or would the faces above forever frown upon the shame of man?

Can anybody help me change the things I've seen?

Pray for me as one whose spiritual weakness has been revealed. I have become as Judas and now find myself deep in pit, in darkness, despondent. Doubt overcomes me. Despite the grace reaching out to me, I find myself unforgivable.

There is a heart I cannot break. If I break that heart, then I should not be forgiven. I woke up today desiring to be beaten. I face childlessness in a promise to marry. I am confronted by her conscience, which has asked me to 'take an out,' and in so doing break her heart and my own. I fulfill my promise with what understanding of grief? Who am I to say that I know what this life brings. This is all my fault. What is the truth in all of this? How do I walk righteously in this situation? Is there only devastation? Pray for me. Pray for me because I fear the storm and am despondent. I am asked to walk on water, but I've sunk to the ocean floor and am crushed. This is a trial. This is a judgement. I have no strength for this. I am withered and lost. I fear failing. If I fail, how could I be forgiven? I could not forgive myself. I have to stand in truth, but what if the truth is not with me? What do I know as truth? How do I know the will of God? Am I against His will?

none of us should be forgiven for our sins, but on the Cross we all were. our task is to accept the forgiveness which is offered.

continued prayers!

If I fail, how could I be forgiven? I could not forgive myself
I don’t have much to say but I’ll just say this — if you didn’t fail, what would there be to forgive? God grants mercy and forgiveness knowing that we will fail. He forgives even when we cannot

You are in my continued prayers! Lord have mercy!
