  • 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.

Hi everyone,



I have been praying for, and building a relationship with a young man that has tried to kill himself multiple times. When he was a young teen he was hit by an automobile at very high speeds, which in turn gave him brain damage. There are no physical signs that there is anything wrong with him today, it’s just that he is ‘slow’… so naturally people call him stupid, and look down on him in everyway possible. The Lord has put it on my heart to pray for him everyday. I have asked the Lord to find other people to stand with him too, and I wanted to let you guys know as well. If you have anything encouraging to say or any prayers of Faith… please do so.

Thank you!

-Avidan

Lord help this young man and let him know that suicide isn't an option and that He needs to lean on you for help as well as guidance. That if he hasn't, that he will accept you as his Lord & Savior and depend on you when all else fails. Amen!!

There's a number if you need to call Avidan just in case the suicide is at high risk. 1-800-SUICIDE!! 1-800-784-2433

Avidan, I am lifting up your friend right now in prayer. May the Lord touch his life and show him that nothing is impossible through Christ who strengthens us. May justice be served to these people who put down your friend, and may they also come to know the Lord. Father, may your heal our friend who is suffering so deeply and be with him always. In Jesus' name, Amen! :prayer:

Lord, please bless this friend of Avidan. Send him peace in his heart and protect him from abuse and hurt from others. Strengthen his friends who are trying to help him and let him see that there are people in this world that he can trust and a God who loves him greatly too and who is always to be relied upon.
Asking this in the name of Jesus the Lord
Amen

Lord, please lift up Avidan and his friend.

Avidan, if he says he wants to kill himself, you need to dial 911 immediately. He needs to be in a safe environment until the crisis passes. Thank you for being with him in his time of need.

I am praying for him! I know how hard it is. I will keep praying for him!

Thank you, and to everybody else too. God is going to do something awesome with this man. Please keep speak life into the child of God inside of him. The devil has sown a lot of junk into his being, please pray that The Lord will burn all of it up, and that this young man will see God make him a new creation, and that he will see 'the old man' blow away like chaff in the wind. Amen.

Lord, I join with these others, and lift up Avidan's friend up to You. Help this young man feel Your presence in his life, and help him see that You love him, and have a purpose for him. I pray too for those around him who are giving him problems, that they'll see the pain they're causing, and seek forgiveness.

Amen

Heavenly Father, i pray that you would use this young man's life to do wonders in this world. Father that you would change his life around. That you would take away the suicidal thoughts, and help him to come through this bringing glory to your name. Lord, i pray that he would be able to grow in you, and feel the love that you have for him. That this love would be all that he would desire in life. Father, please continue to bring people like Avidan into this man's life. In Jesus' name, amen
