• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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 failed horribly today. I wanted to do good because I knew I was facing a trial and I examined myself. I was waiting at a clothing store in line and all these negative thoughts ran through my mind, so I thought to myself this is temporary Jesus love is eternal. But it got up to a point where I coudln't take it and I cursed God within my head. I felt horrible and I still do but as look back I feel like the sower who endured for a while but when tribulations and trials came they didn't get to finish. What is the remedy for this? How do I get the good seed going here. I confess sins to ya'll.

Dear Reason2believe,

Thank you for sharing what happened with us. It is not unusual for thoughts to come to mind like that, but we bring them to Christ and ask forgiveness like you have probably done. There is a verse that says to take all thoughts captive to make them obedient to Christ. I believe the sower stories are about unbelievers, except for the fruitful one. We all fail all the time but we always have Jesus as our defender. Lean on Jesus during the hard times. He will never leave you nor forsake you, and your salvation is sure once you believed and trust in Christ as your Savior. God bless you. Tapero

Confess and repent to God. Remember your repentance, and use it to strengthen you, if you find yourself in a similar situation again. Learn from your failings, and don't forget to ask for help from God when under temptation.

Why did you curse God, though? When I've been in similar situations, I find myself slowly stopping to care about the people around me, as if my business or errand slowly becomes more important than theirs.

I think we all cursed and hated God in our lives more then once, its because we are unconsiously influenced by so much hatred in this world ,and have a lot of underlying hatred in ourselves. What matters really is that you try to eradicate all of the hatred inside you, replace it by love and put it behind you.

I myself do the following, i put a memory inside of myself of someone or something that i love, and i project that love on everything and everyone, giving as much unconditional love as i possibly can. Every day i try to love more, and to hate less. And its not important if you succeed or fail in that, but to know that you are a winner if you keep on trying. That's where the real value lies.

you were being attacked by satan,satans battlefield is in the mind. He put that bad thought in your head...what you need to do is try to keep a clear mind and heart always and if a bad thought comes into your mind...rebuke it shake it off and change your thinking,Stay positive and refresh your mind with the Word of God.The more you fill your mind with God's word and applying it to your life..you will be better equipet to fight off those attacks from the enemy.Pray each morning and through out the day/night.
It's ok if you failed .. it happens,deal with it and move on.Know how to respond next time and don't dwell in your failures or negative thoughts
.You are not a failure.

It s true, we live in a world that is under the influence of Satan who loves it when we give in to the pressure around us. We also struggle with our own sinful nature. But God knows and understands the situations we face, and is there to hear us and help us to continue on in our journey of life.
God loves us despite the times we fail Him, for while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us! He loves us so much that Christ nailed our sins, both past and future to the cross and paid the penalty. When we repent of them, and confess to God, be assured we are forgiven!!
That is Gods mercy and justice...His love!

For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 1 Jn 3:20

For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.2 Tim 2:11-13
