• 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!

Please pray for me. I've been through a shock. And as a result, while I am not fasting, I also haven't eaten hardly anything in 4 or 5 days and remain 'turned off' to eating.

Deep depression, serious marriage problems, no money, unclear employment future, mother turned-to-Islam and fighting stage 4 cancer, estranged adult children, one gone to Germany, never-ending Covid threats. The death of our priest has been devastating.

I will pray for you rusmeister. Do not worry. Everything is in God's hands. Your mother will not always be islam I suppose. She will soon miss Jesus approach to her heart and soul. Islam is faschistic to the soul.

Please pray for Jonathan, a young man in his early 30s who has caught the delta variant. He is vaccinated, so the hope is that his case will not be too severe, but of course we cannot tell the future. I know that he is planning on getting married to his long-term girlfriend later in the year, and we would all like to see that happen. Lord have mercy.

I have a severe nosebleed that isn’t stopping altogether, despite having it packed in an ER last night. There may be a more serious medical problem, though I’m hoping it’s just my high blood pressure and meds that ran out earlier this week. The school year just started, we desperately need the breadwinner money I have to make. Prayers much appreciated!

Have you tried salt water. My Mum used to use it all the time for nose bleeds.
Salt-Based Spray May Help Chronic Nosebleeds

Thank you! I’ve had my nose packed, got the medications I need. Ironically, I got my pay only a couple of hours before it started, and I had had no time to go out and buy them. I’m stuck at home, bleeding replaced by mild cold/runny nose (not timely when your nose is packed!)
I hope to get those things removed on Monday and go to work, God willing!
Thanks again!

Here I am again. I was not fasting during holiday and God was angry and again made me remember lots of my sins. A few things I could make for God for Him being more content with me but it seems it is not enough. God does not want me to give me His mercy and is still angry with me. I am ill for more than a week now.... I desperately need prayers to get God's mercy again! I am suffering and God does not give me a chance...I can not concentrate on anything or think clearly, I am afraid and God does not give me a chance.
