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.

Steven.. prayed and heard... Matt 22:4 - Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.'Hey everyone I just has a quick request..
I've been praying about something and I could use some confirmation! Just ask the Lord to see what He tells you.. really It's either a yes or no.. Blessings all!
And...
Matt 22:14. - For many are invited, but few are chosen."
Praise be to God! Amen!

Hi everyone 
I was wondering if you guys can just lift me up in prayer over the next few days. Half Term is nearly over and I know how that makes me feel in terms of the prospect of returning back to work on Monday.
Any focussed prayer would be greatly appreciated
God bless

I think I need to take a moment to explain something to those of you who are concerned.
I am a warrior, I figured this out many, many moons ago. At the age when most of you were playing carefree, I was fighting demons. When you all would have been figuring out if you were bullies or being bullied, I was learning to survive in a world where forgiveness was a daily necessary to those who should have offered safety. Eventually that battle zone expanded even more to a church that acted like they had never heard much less known the Love of God. (church here is body of Christ not specific local group).
The thing about being a warrior though, is that over time, war starts to get to you. You get tired and warn down. The images of destruction haunt you continually. You hear cries of pain and can't get to everyone. You eventually need to rest. You need to lay down your sword and rest, but you are continually aware that the safety you need to rest is a fragile thing indeed.
I came here looking for a moment to rest, a place where I could lay down my sword for just a moment and let someone tend to my wounds. But instead, I received more wounds, not bad ones granted, but wounds none the less. I found one more dangerous area rather than a place to relax. I fear I am becoming paranoid after all this time, and yet, I find myself trusting when I know it would be better to test the area first.
Quite frankly I am way to tired of a warrior to stay on alert. To keep guard, to not simply collapse into a heap of exhaustion and rest. I find no bitterness, resentment, or fear for any of you all, but I also find no rest, no safety where I can stop being on guard. And so, I am not angry, not even really hurt by you as much as I am simply not able to trust you all enough to let me rest in the knowledge and peace of having a family to stand guard while I sleep.
Now one more thing I would like to say, I am fine, God sustains me and though I have many scares, and though I am tired, it is nothing more than a bit of rest will fix. And I trust my King to not leave me too long on the battlefield without rest. I trust Him completely, I guess when you fight long enough and hard enough for the King, you kind of learn that He does have your best interest at heart. And yes, sometimes you grow anxious for His orders, and sometimes you wonder if He has forgotten you, but aways you know that His service is the only one you will ever hold.

Razzelflabben,
I wish that I knew you better. I'm sorry that I don't. There is pain in your words and hurt bleeds through. Is there something that we can pray for, for you? Let us lift up your burden and support you. Even warriors need the help of a fellow soldier. I will pray for you and ask others here to do the same.
In Christ,
FA

What can I say, when I tell my story either people try to "fix" it, they become burdened and dismiss me before they know what is going on, or they call me a lier.
I struggle like everyone, to trust God, forgive those who hurt me, walk in the way, etc. But what I find is that the more I struggle, the easier I find it is to trust God and forgive others. As I said on another thread where I go into more detail about todays struggles, emotions come and go but God is a stable. We today face life without. We go without food, heat, etc. But we want for nothing because God is our provider. Today I will study love and know that God is greater than all the evils this world can hit us with. And so it is enough for you to know that today brings stress and suffering but God brings joy and peace.
I realize when I talk about our lives, people hear pain, in fact, I wouldn't expect anything different, as a friend says, what I face daily would be more than most could deal with. But she also, in the same breath, marvels at how much peace we have. I am tired it is true, I long for rest, a break, a vacation as it were, but God is so good, and trust me when I say, we are secure, not just in the protective love of His hand, but also in the very center of His heart, and I would face a million more trials and pains if only to remain there, in the depths of His Love. My only desire in life is that when it is over, I will hear my Lord and King say well done my good and faithful servant. And if I might hear those words uttered, there is nothing I can image that I would not endure. That being said, I don't desire to suffer, but I find that suffering is nothing compared to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. And it is those who have yet to know this Love and this grace that I hurt for. It is that all might know this Love that drives away all fear that drives me. It is the pain that there are those who will never see this same God that hurts more than any suffering this life has ever thrown at me. It is sharing and knowing Christ's pain that is the hardest thing of all to endure.
May you know His peace in everything you face, and may He sustain you with His truth and grace.

Rest here with us. The peace of God is here.
Just from me...I don't need to fix you or change you or make you into anything. You are a child of God and created in His image. You are obviously very passionate about your love for the Father and your service here on earth. Nothing about that needs to be fixed. Oh that many others could feel that fire in their belly! You are a blessing!
If you need peace and rest, then lay down your sword and close your eyes. Christ said..."Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." And as one who also watches over those who need cover, I wil pray for you and cover you as you rest.
Struggle comes to us all. We are so human and so fragile but the might of God, the creator of love, is on us all.
Be blessed and rest.
