  • 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.

hi all,

I’m looking for some people to lift me up. I am battling anxiety and some other fears. I am in therapy and now on medication, praise the Lord. But I’m restless and I need the Lord’s patience. I heard Charles Stanley preach last night about how God tries to communicate with us and sometimes does so by making us restless. I want so much to get better and the doctors say there’s tons of hope for me. Wow! I just need help that the Lord would help me find more doctors to help me, and bless my support system of friends and family.

Please pray that my boyfriend sees the Lord through me as well, and that my Uncle Bob finds help for his Parkinson’s and dimentia.

There is so much bad out there – I just want to see the good that the Lord has and I want help finding what He wants for me. I have a job interview next week and am waiting on word from another job as well.

Please pray that the Lord easies my anxiety and does His will. Thank you all for listening to this ramble:)

Kristen :blush:

:hug: I had my first panic attack 18 years ago, so I understand how difficult it can be to cope with anxiety. I’m glad you’re talking to a professional, as changing our thought processes can be EXTREMELY beneficial, especially ‘cognitive behavioral therapy”. Medications can be helpful, if they are the right Rx., and the correct dose. If it isn’t helping, be patient. If there’s little improvement, tell your MD. Remember that it’s physiological; that it’s the body or the vessel. I had to trust God that there is some lesson in this. It’s taught me to be more compassionate with others, judge less, (as we all have our issues), etc. Restlessness can be a good thing that might motivate us to change, however, anxiety and fear can block God’s purpose for us. It’s good that you’ve taken action to care for yourself, and be your own advocate and ask for help in various ways. Have hope, and don’t “beat yourself up!”
May the Lord guide your words with your boyfriend, and may he be open to the Spirit. May the Lord give you and your family strength to support your Uncle, and may he be blessed with peace and profound moments of clarity.
May you find more peace and contentment. (JOHN:27 ).
:pray: You’ll all be in my prayers. :pray:

i also need prayer (sorry for asking again) b/c i'm so depressed and scared of life. i need the Lord to turn my thoughts around b/c i know there's purpose, i'm just so scared of it right now. "irrational" fears are very real to me and simple things everyday are too...

thanks all, for your prayers:)
