  • 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.

So sad

I'm not usually the one to ask for prayers but please pray for me. I am going through a really rough time with depression.

For as long as I can remember I have suffered abuse mentally and neglect as a child. Starting at the age of 10 I was sexually abused by my step-father and step-grandfather. At the time I was so alone. I went in and out of depression for all of my life, usually being able to pull myself out. I long to be loved...I try so hard to find that love from God...but sometimes it's so hard. I wish I could let go...find peace. I have seeked professional help twice but never felt comfortable enough to open up. I believe so much that God heals through prayer...

Please pray for me!!
Thank you, God Bless!!
Christie

Lord we ask that you comfort Christie. You know her heart Lord, please let Your presence be felt and let her know that she has always been greatly loved by You. Help her to build a relationship with You that is completely unshakeable. Break away the chains of bondage that mental and sexual abuse has taken hold of her, and fill her up with strength, peace, and love. Let Your Will be done. In Jesus name Amen.

Praying that Christie will one, be able to move on past her horrid past, and two, be able to look into the future with enthusiasm and joy. Praying that God will light your life with love, and push all depression out of your mind, heart and soul.

God does heal very well, even the worst depression as I can testify. Be diligent in your prayers. Talk to him as if he is really there, go over your day with him, your problems, your thoughts, you will feel better. I will pray for you my friend,

I am 30 now. I was molested when I was maybe 4 years old. It was one or two incidences of abuse. I have not yet overcome the damage. And I think it likely the effects will be with me my whole life. I was once delivered from depression through no effort of my own God delivered me. Yet here I am back depressed. The best I can do is to find ways to serve God despite my handicaps(lack of trust and poor self image among others). I am who I am, depression and all. Yet I can use that to serve God. However poor my efforts are, God knows my struggles, weaknesses, and sorrows. If I was not depressed I may not be here sharing this with you and giving what little comfort I have to give. Know that you are not alone. Know that others do care, and that many others have been where you are. I have some pretty bad days myself. Days choking on sin and feeling so low. Yet I seek to serve God.

I pray you will be healed. I also pray that your sorrow may not be in vain.

Praying for you, Christie.

Oh merciful God, we lift up our sister Christie to You, asking for Your love to rain down upon her and flood her soul with reassurance of Your complete love for her. You knew her before she was born. You know every hair on her head. You know when she's awake and when she's sleeping. You watch over her because you love her. Lord God, you are with Christie. You are mighty to save. You take great delight in her. You rejoice over her with singing. You quiet her with Your unfailing love. We ask that in your grace, you would help her to KNOW Your love and the great worth with which you regard her. We thank you that Christie IS the daughter of the Most High. May she have Your peace, O God. In Jesus' name, amen.
