• 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.

Hello. For many years I have been suffering with depression, deep anxiety and panic attacks that has and can interfere with my everyday life. It has made life very difficult for me, and loneliness, as well as the pandemic didn’t make it any better. I ask for help and friendship. Thank you.

Hey, is this a prayer request? It was posted in the Prayer Wall section. If you're looking for "help and friendship", the Deeper Fellowship area or better yet, one of the Recovery sections that deal with depression or anxiety might be a good place for this thread.

No problem, just checking. :)

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
I pray for relief from the depression and anxiety this one is experiencing. Help them to understand how you have given their life meaning and purpose, that they may glorify You in their walk and life. Help them to understand any anger they may have against themselves, and where it might be coming from.

I pray for their anxiety as well, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but rather power, love, and self discipline. Help them to understand that their anxiety and negative thoughts do not come from You, but rather from their fallen flesh and the broken world around them. Help the understanding to turn to belief and trust in You, and belief to turn to feeling and relief.

May Your grace be upon them and Your wisdom guide the doctors who are treating them, and give them peace.

In Christ's Name,
Amen
