  • 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

Please pray for my friend Jon.
He has tried to overdose twice in 4 weeks after his gilrlfriend left him.
I have shared my faith with him tonight.
He tried to show me his porn collection but I told him I had been addicted but did not look at porn any more.
Pray that I remain strong and that I will have words for him
 
Father in jesus name I pray for Jon I ask that you set him free father from all drug substances, I ask that you pour out your spirit into his life and that you save and set him free by the power of your spirit, surround him with divine protection and your holy angels in heaven and let nothing happen to him father in jesus name amen.

Jon seems Ok at the moment. It is 4 weeks since he split up with Amy. It seems simple but as I am only hearing one side.....
They had moved into a flat together, Amy had gone out, Jon had fallen asleep, Amy had been unable to get back in and went to her mums. Next thing they are living 200 miles apart and familys are slinging insults.
All very sad....

I should add he OD on the anti depressants he had been given by his doctor.
He joined me at church sunday evening (last time he was in church was scout parade 10 years ago) and seemed amazed that people who did not know him took the time to say 'Hi'

Great to hear he went to church. Still praying for him.

It's wonderful that he has a friend like you, to pray for him and to be there for him. I know that is what helped me out last year at this time when I was wanting to kill myself. God blessed me with many friends who were willing to help.

Praying for you Tony as well.

Well, your post title caught my eye because I am in the throws of suicidal thoughts now for several days...been here before...who hasn't wanted to get out of here for Heaven a few times in their life?

I lift up your friend and pray that God will send blessings that shout out Jon's worth to Him so he'll know a joy born of the Spirit's presence in him, to stay on the path of Life....I can't remember ever praying for another suicidal person when I was feeling this way, so as I know it's like supposed to be the best response to my own pain...I pray for Jon in earnest.

The Lord, the lifter of my heart, will hear and be pleased to comfort him, for His Glory. Amen. Shachah.:pray:

You do know that suicidal thoughts are not of God right? I will pray for these thoughts to escape from your thinking

:pray: Yes, I do know that suicidal thoughts are not of God. There's more of a hope to hurry to heaven and end the grief than to self-destruct. The load is once again VERY huge and I am tired.

Thanks for your prayers,allieisme:hug:I was noticing that the thoughts seemed to be less potent or something...nothing has changed...actually if anything they got worse. Therefore I have to say that your prayers MUST have had effect already.

Ever feel like the Lord couldn't possibly expect so much from you? I have felt like that for such a long time. When do the blessings here on earth EVER come my way,I wonder?

I'm like the person in Hebrews whose rewards for faith never come until Heaven....so I just want to go there BAD!:scratch:

MAybe your expecting to much to fast? I dont know..Do you really think you will go to Heaven if you commit suicide though? Just asking, hope I'm not being to nosy or prying.
I will continue to pray for you, and dont worry God has many blessings for you in life, maybe they are just disguised a bit right now, they will unfold when God is ready for you to see all..
If you ever want to rant or just talk, pm me whenever you feel like it. I might just ramble on myself :)
God Bless YOU

..:(

I guess no timing is really like His own, so too fast won't really apply, in that light... But, WEARY & TRIED are definitely the words to describe this for me. The growth I have known in the Lord over the course of time that I have walked next to the one who soooo burdens me is so much fuller on my part than theirs. Not really as a judgement, as an observation by many others, including me. I can not believe that someone could walk with the Lord and seemingly avoid growth so well. FRUSTRATION is HUGE for me.

I feel like I can take no more and abandonment of this one seems wrong, so 'out of here' seems inviting! VERY!

Honestly, I do think I would go to heaven if I committed suicide. NOTHING can seperate me from the Love of God. Does He wish that end for me?:scratch: I do not believe so today. If He is Omniscient, which I believe Him to be, then were that my end, He has continued to have the relationship He has with me with knowledge of that already in Him. No thing could convince me, or those close to me, that my relationship with the Lord is not real and vital.

I guess it is one of those questions that could drive a lot of opinionated discussions fostering division, so I'd rather not labor on that one. Though your comments are welcome, I feel I have no further. Unless you stir some new thoughts.

At any rate, thanks for answering my concerns, and I continue to lift up Jon, hoping his life is thus far spared an end by his own hand in pain. I'm still here, too. The Lord Jesus show favor on us all, Shachah.:bow:
