  • 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! I've written briefly before about my little brother, he has severe depressive disorder and has tried to commit suicide twice. He doesn't have any friends or any decent male role models, our father left when he was young and I know it's been difficult for him living with three women. In the last year, God has opened up doors and given him his first job and a mentor-friendship with this older man who in turn, lost his own son many years ago. He's been a wonderful influence in my brother's life and a good family friend. He takes my brother to breakfast and on errands, so they have time to talk. My brother helps him a lot at work because he's often getting sick.

The man has been diagnosed with leukemia, and my brother has been very concerned. I've worked in the medical field so he often asks me questions about tests and medications and health insurance, because he desperately wants to help his friend. My brother told me one night when they were working, his friend coughed up blood. My heart aches for this man and the family that depends on him (wife and grandson he is raising), as well as for my little brother who's found a friend & father figure in this man. My mom and I often discuss what to do when/if the time comes, that this man passes on.

Please pray for his health and wellness, for financial support to aid him in his care and mental stability for my brother. I pray that my brother find God in all of this, and that he doesn't find a reason to be angry with God, but instead be compelled to seek him. I also pray for my brother's friend that while faced against his own mortality, begin to question and seek God, and that even maybe someday, my brother can find Him too, and help his friend. My brother's been raised in it and believes there is a God, but has had difficulty opening his heart to Him.

Thank you!

Prayers for this man with leukaemia :crosseo:

Prayers also for your brother - you are going to have to help him deal with his friend's illness and prepare him to realise that a cure is not always possible

Prayer for this whole situation.
Prayer for this man with cancer, cancer is not the big C Christ is and I pray deliverance from this disease in Jesus name.
I also pray for your brother that God will continue blessing him with another angelic figure in his life.
I pray all in the name of Jesus

It’s very nice of this man to lend support to your brother, and I’m sorry to hear about his health issues. I’m praying that God will touch him with His healing hand, provide strength and comfort at this time. Also praying for your brother He will experience the abundance of God’s love, peace and guidance in the days ahead.
