• 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.

Matthew 24-27

And, behold there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was alseep. 25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, sae us: we perish. 26 And, he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O yet of little faith? Then he arose, and reuked the windes and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled, saying, what manner of man is this, that even the winds and sea obey him!

It is good to know that God is even in control of the storm. It says, "what manner of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey him? So through your storm the Lord is still in control. He is in control of how much it rains, when it rains, and when it stops. If you don't believe me then turn to Job 1:12 and Job 2:6. Now when statan wanted to do what he want to do God said, you can do this, but you can not do that. It even says in 1 Samuel that an evil spirit was sent from the Lord. God is in control of your storm, of your pain and your strain. Amen. so in in your darkest hour know that do is on the throne and is able to calm the seas adn rain.

Going back to verse 25, it states, Let we perish. And Jesus replied, why are you fearful? Oh you of little faith. Let me ask you why are you fretting, why are you depressed, why are you anxious, why are you bitter, of you of little faith. Where is your faith. Do you not know that through your storm that Jesus in the boat with you. Therefore, You WILL NOT, DROWNED, YOU WILL NOT PERISH! Amen. Let me encourage you, whatever your storm is financial, family, job, depression, sickness, pain, hurt, Jesus is in the boat with you! Be not like the disciples saying Lord Jesus, why am I going through this, I will surely drowned in this situation. If Jesus brang the storm then he will bring you through it.

2 Corinthains says, For this light affliction which is but for a moment is working for us a far better and exceeding weight in Glory. He will get some glory out of your trial and situation. Wait on the Lord, just wait on him his is in the boat with you. Jesus is the weather man, he is in charge of the storm. "Those that the Lord loves he prunes (he cuts back something), so that they can bear MORE fruit." Amen.
