  • 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.

I need more prayer please. This time it is for me. I need God to change some things in me. I am still having a hard time with my new in laws. My very first intro, they were all at one time or another telling me how much they all missed "Chrissy". Davids exwife... I wasn't saved then, and had some feelings build up in their towards some of them, that I'm just discovering, as I am preparing for their visit tomorrow through Monday. They also show great favortism towards my two stepsons and feels like they blatantly ignore and leave out Davids new children. And because theres another story there too...it is very hard for me, and I even find myself feeling things towards my stepsons that I shouldn't. I feel awful inside and pretty miserable right this moment. I try to talk to David and the words somehow seem to never come out right, and we both end up getting hurt. So...please pray for me. For God to change my heart, and for once, maybe to do it in my time? Not his? Is that wrong? I want to enjoy this weekend, and I don't want to feel like the outsider in my own home.

Thankyou, Lori
 
Lori, One thing that is very important is for you to know that it is not going to work in your time. It's going to work in GOD'S time. All things work together for the good in those who love the Lord. Just pray for yourself that God will change your stinkin' thinkin' on how you feel sometimes about your stepsons. He will change you. And after he change you and you notice a change in yourself then pray for your in laws. This weekend when you hear them talk about his exwife just pray for them. I pray that this helps you.

Dear Father God, we thank you when you lead one of your children to ask others to pray for thier needs. Lord you have commanded us to share one another's burdens. A wondrous gift you have given us God to bring unity to the body of Christ by leading us to pray and stand in the gap for one another.

Heavenly Father, we lift Lori up to you in prayer asking God that you give her strength to endure through difficult situations with her in-laws. Lord please fill Lori with the love of Christ so that her in-laws may be touched by the Holy Spirit when they are in her prescence. Lord, I know not if Lori's in-laws know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior but Father God I pray that you may draw them to your Son. Lord, remind Lori that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Father, you tell us that if you are with us who can be against us? My Lord, I stand on the authority of your Word that no weapon formed shall prosper against Lori in her dealings with her in-laws. I pray for a hedge of protection around Lori and ask that you guard her mind against any thoughts that are contrary to what you tell us in your Word, Father God. God, help Lori to pray with persistance for her in-laws. I pray too Lord that you might touch Lori's in laws with the Holy Spirit and that they may know the power of conviction rendered by the Comforter when we are errant in our ways. I pray that Lori may be granted favor with her in-laws. I know God that you are in complete control of all things in the life of a believer and we take this matter now, and lay it to rest at the feet of Jesus for we trust in you completely, in all things. Help Lori to trust in you and lean not unto her own understanding.

Lord, I ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name unto salvation. Amen.

Father, as I pray to night I know You have already honored the prayers of these faithful who have prayed and I thank You and praise You for that. Father, as I sit here there are so many Hymns and Gospel songs flowing theough my mind, like, "Through it all" and "Reach out to Jesus" and "Love lifted me". I suppose the titles are a message in themselves. I ask a special blessing on my sister Lori in a most difficult time. I cannot imagine being in this situation, but I ask that You help her to just Keep her focus on Jesus, and to know and understand in her heart that ALL things are ultimately for Your Glory. Father, may this week-end be the week-end for miracles. Touch each and every heart involved with the love and saving power of Jesus in whose Precious Name I give thanks, and always pray. And so it is! Amen.
