  • 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.

I've been in and out of depression for awhile. I'm in a pretty bad marriage, I'm in at a dead end job, financially strapped and I don't have many friends. I feel like nobody cares even though I know God does. I made a song that kind of describes where I'm at emotionally. I'm not much of a singer but these feeling are honest.


I'm not looking for pity but please pray that I get some lasting peace

That's a beautiful sincere song from the heart. I know a lot of people feel like that. You are speaking for them all. I'm praying for you, brother. May you soon find the peace you're looking for. Amen.

Hi, good to see you.

1) Read God's Word prayerfully day by day.

2) Love your wife. (NB: if you don't feel like loving your wife: love your wife.)

I lost my hearing, most of it, but I sure wish that I could hear your song. Could you post the lyrics. I pray the LORD will bless you and enlighten your heart and change your lot from the sadness you feel to a peaceful and joyful life, In Jesus Name, Amen
"The joy of the LORD is my strength."

Even though I couldn't hear, I can relate to the words of your song and want you to know I understand and I care. God cares and loves you and made you special and gave you a talent and words that nobody else can share and Oh Yes, He can hear you calling. "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him "Psalm 91:15
God bless you.

Prayers, David! What has helped me a lot in difficult times is just getting quiet time alone with God. That helps so much. Does your wife attend church with you? Is she a believer? God be with you, friend. Life can be difficult, but God does love you, and is holding you.

I hope things get better for you my friend. I've had depression ever since I was a little child, and I can definitely relate to you on that. It seems like any time in my life, when I get closer to God, and give my worries and problems up to him, my life tends to get better, and when I try running it myself, it usually back fires. I hope that you give your problems up to him, and I honestly think that you'll get your answers, and so much more back then you expected.

I hope things work out between you and your wife. Especially if there are children involved. To many broken homes out there. I myself tried couples counseling back when I was in a relationship. Both parties have to put fourth the effort 50-50, and sometimes it can really help if there is an intermediary to help sort things out. Try doing more things with each other. even if it's just once a week. The little things count. Back rubs, flowers once a month. Taking her out to dinner. Everyone wants and needs to know that they're loved in a relationship.

Do you have a college degree? If not, what do you think about going to college? Or there are trades out there, that if you get a one year certificate, or an associates degree, you can make pretty descent to goo money. Electrician, carpenter, Heating and air conditioner fixer. Money isn't everything. We need it to pay bills, but most of us are blessed with food in out bellies, a roof over our heads, clean water, fresh air, and so many other wants that we don't deserve. There are some that don't have those things in life. I don't have a lot of money either. Than again, I'm not married, so that does change things up. There's ways to make friends. If you email me, I know a specific site where it's specifically pretty much for making friends. It's for people with hobbies. It could be any hobby really. From Sewing, dog walking(if you have a dog), board and card games, I'm not sure if there are sport groups or not.

Hello David,

My prayers are with you. After hearing your heartfelt song I decided to send you a link of a Christian woman that has recorded Christian music since I believe your song could speak to many if it had a chance. I hope you reach out and she can help you. God's many blessings.

I realize the music probably won't be something most you enjoy (metal) however the lyrics are some ive related to a WHOLE lot in the past year or so. Especially this part


Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I’ll always be?
Grinding the salt into every wound
Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment?
You can’t trust me to be there for you

I’ve got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette,
Casting a shadow, a shade over me
Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]
Your worst impressions were right about me

I could ask you to stay, if you’re feeling forgiving
I could live with the guilt, if you call this living
I could try to memorise each grain of sand
As it slips through my fingers, and falls from my hands
It took me longer than I’d care to admit
This life is only what I choose to make of it
And the only thing standing in-between happiness and myself
Was this depression I held so close to my chest

Sometimes depression has a physical cause. Low iron, low B12 and so on. Hypothyroidism is the most common illness in America and is frequently not diagnosed. It absolutely leads to depression.
The stopthethyroidmadness.com site has informal signs that show a thyroid weakness - just in case.

Whatever the cause, I pray you will get healing and direction and peace.
