  • 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

What is going on?!

Recently I have been unfairly ostracized by my friends and have to find a new place to live. I have been having all kinds of other difficulties in my life as well. What is going on here? Am I missing something that God is trying to tell me or what....I feel terrible about almost everything in my life right now.

Don't know you or the situation but there are always 3 sides to every story.

Reflect on what's going on around you. See if you notice catylists that are causing your friends to react twords you or the situations to occur.

I do wish you luck and hope the best for you. Keep pushing through and you'll get to the other side.

I think you are being shown they were never friends, but wolves in sheep's clothing. I pray you have found out without long-term trouble and find some true friends. Go forth and meet new people, or stay among those you know love you.
I agree with the above post. Friends do not forsake you. They may disagree with you or ignore you for a few days out of anger, but they do not leave you completely. So if your friends have left you, then they are not really your true friends. So just pray hard about this to God. Tell God how you're feeling and ask God to give you wisdom and strength. Definitely make new friends. Fortunately there are a lot of people out there who will be compatible with you. It just takes time to find them and nurture those relationships. Know that bad days (just like good days) do not last forever. There will always be sunshine and rain in life. So know that while you're experiencing some rain right now, the sun will be back again soon. Every experience, bad or good, you can always learn something from them. God can sometimes use bad experiences to still teach us something. Remember God loves you and keep the faith. :hug:

I also agree with the above post that "there are always 3 sides to every story." So true! Always seek truth and understanding. Find out from your friends if you may have said or did anything to offend them. Have an open mind when they reply. Do your best to reconcile the situation, but if they're not willing to bend or meet you halfway to remain friends, then it's time for you to move on. Friendships are a two-way street. Both you & your friends need to pursue the friendship mutually. We will all be praying the best for you!! :)

Hang in there. God is not angry with you. Just keep worshiping and seeking His presence. Maybe do some extra "soaking" time just to help calm and heal your emotions.
It is just some temporary trials to refine your faith. Just ride it out and stay faithful to the Lord.
