• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Strength, Courage and Truth

Dear God,

Let strength and courage prevail to be more happier, more confident, more spontaneous, more hedonistic, more focused, more discplined and strong, more organised, to help myself and the people surrounding me.

Keep me grounded and prioritised.

In Your Name, Lord Jesus.

I'm assuming that you meant something other than 'hedonistic' and perhaps meant 'less hedonistic'...on that note I am agreeing with you in prayer and I lift you up to Abba Who is not finished with us, praise His name.

Father I lift up Greenriser, and all believers. We need You desperately. We are but dust, and marred. We are weak. But You are not. You provide all that we need. I ask that You draw us irresistibly to You, to Your throne, to Your arms. Hone our hearts. Draw us deeper into YOur presence for we know that the closer we get to You, distractions will fade into the background. We praise You that YOu are able even as we are not. Thank You for all that You are doing in Greenriser's life. Bring about what YOu ordained from before the foundation of the world in his heart and life, in the name of Yeshua, amen.

See, sometimes people starve the joy in their lives.

We can tend to have this lack of balance, we think too much and do not become what we should be. We all have choices, God gave us that, remember it :thumbsup:.

But I'll leave it up to God. Maybe their is a better answer, I just don't enjoy certain aspects of my life, I think I know what's wrong. I think God knows too.

I'm not following you.
Before I was really trying to get that balance message across to everyone reading this.

Personally I feel at a dead end. I have stopped thinking cause it has gotten me nowhere.

I have these goals that can impede on my life. They are truely this narrow path; whether it's with God or not I'm not sure, but I know it's good for me and everyone else.

I'm just not humble enough to get through it. AND I'm going from a relaxed situation to a heavier one. I DON"T KNOW IF IT"S ENOUGH THAT I"LL BE READY! God if you're out there, please help. TELL ME WHAT TO FOCUS ON RIGHT AWAY. :) keep looking< planing < doing > :)

See, sometimes people starve the joy in their lives.

The only joy I've EVER had is with the joy that comes from God. It's different than the 'joy' or temporary happiness that this world offers. THe world takes ya on a spin and then leaves ya flat. What a bummer.

God's joy is just like that River of Living Water that pours out of us....His joy is ours. It's based on the eternal, not the temporal.

The world's 'happiness' is like junk food. God's joy is like pure nutritional manna that is gonna keep ya' flourishing for the long haul.

I genuinely pray that you seek what will really feed yer soul.

God bless you.
