• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Why is life so hard? It seems I'm slipping back into a depression, although I have been doing well for the past 2 weeks or so. My faith is being tested every day, and I love God, but I am struggling. I want Him to bring me through this and place all my trust in Him. Please pray for me :pray:

I find out that when I ask God to increase my trust in Him problems start. I keep asking but don t be surprised if you expiernce p[roblems. Maybe that is how we grow in trust.

Never give up!

*nod* that's the key to everything, and the key to your problem too. Never give up trusting God, speechless, know that despite all the hardship and all the things to come, God is right there with you. He never fails a prayer, though it may not be what we expected, and He is there, right in your heart.

Psalm 23:4 "Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

praying for you.

Don't ever give up.  That is what the enemy of your soul would want you to do.  Keep holding on to God and you WILL make it.  Jesus never fails just keep holding on to that.  And remember that "life can't be all blessings or there'd be no need to pray".  During trials and hardships draw closer to God.  Call out to Him because He really cares for you.  You will be alright. :pray:
