  • 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

Hello,
Please pray that I can have the application, conscientiousness, and work ethic to meet the demands of work and school. I don't believe in ADD/ADHD. I do believe that I have a procrastination problem and in particular dealing with delayed gratification. Please ask God to facilitate me the self-discipline and self-control to live a life worthy of His calling.

Best regards,

ct

If you are a Calvinist, I can't see why there would be any hope for you, seeing that teaching might tell you that you are predestined to be the way you are.
On the other hand, Father I pray that this one will not just trust that prayer can change things, but that they can take active steps to go against their own nature to procrastinate and to not be satisfied without instant gratification. May they take the role of boss and coach over that nature and tell themselves "Even though I don't feel like I want to do something right now, and would rather do it later, I am going to do it now and get it over with. I am going to give it the priority." "Even though I don't feel gratified with this right now, I am going to take the position (if not the feeling) that I am content with the ways things are right now, and leave the future to God (Philippians 4:11; 1 Timothy 6:6; Job 19:25-26). Amen.
