Yes, I did pray that. But then I worried that since I didn’t have true faith the words were meaningless. And no I haven’t been baptised

I would pray for faith but I just done understand how to do it without it just being meaningless words, how can I pray to God when I don’t know that I truly believe in him? It just feels like repeating words and not really speaking to him

A few months ago I began by journey with Christ, and found a new faith in him. In the beginning I felt so close to Him, praying every day and reading His word. Then after a few weeks fell back into old habits and thinking. The gospel couldn’t hold my attention and praying didn’t interest me. I...

I am continuing to pray about this, but finding that even more than my body's physical reaction, I struggle most with my thoughts and how I look at men. I sometimes look at men and feel my thoughts beginning to go in that direction, but now I am trying to stop them before they get out of hand...

I really should try to find a church, I know. I live a very busy life and am nervous in new situations so I haven’t been to Church. No one I know is Christian, which may be why I feel so afloat

Just wanted to give you guys an update on how things have been going since I gave my life to Jesus. I have been reading the bible and devotional a daily on my commute to and from work, and during the day I am listening to worship music and audio recordings of bible verses. I have a tendency to...

Yes! One thing I am definitely starting to learn is that, yes, I can pray for God to grant me faith and strength. But instead of just praying and waiting for it to happen, I can take actions everyday to help bring me closer to Him. I've been taking short breaks during the day to read my bible...

Hi guys. I am a new Christian, only recently gave my life to Christ. I am also someone who has identified as gay for years and had multiple homosexual relationships. Since beginning to come to Christianity, this is maybe the biggest struggle I have had. I want so badly to follow God's word and...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have been reading my bible daily during my commutes, and listening to audio recordings and worship music throughout the day. Its helping me to continue to build faith and connect with God in more areas of my life. I havent been baptised yet. It is something I...

Hi guys. I have been receiving lots of advice, and seeing this written lots of places, that one of the first steps you should do after turning to Christ is to share the good news and tell someone. I absolutely see why people say to do this, because I do feel like I want to share this...

Thank you so much, this made my understanding of my faith so much more clear. I have really been underestimating my faith when faith is exactly what gave me my first urge to learn about Christianity. It honestly feels like so many things are fitting together and making sense after so long.

Again, I am so grateful for all the support and kind words on this forum. I just wanted to update you guys and let you know that after some prayer and meditation, I prayed and accepted Jesus into my heart. I am still struggling with feeling secure in my faith, and still have doubts about...

Thank you so much. This is what I keep telling myself, that I have put myself in his hands and have to trust He will take me down the right path even if it's difficult. And if you have any advice about my other thread, please feel free to message me, since this is something I still am struggling...

Thank you for your response. I will absolutely keep praying for God to show me the way. Its just all very overwhelming and a bit scary, I don't think I fully realised how much my life would change when I offered it up to him. Im scared that even if I pray to God about this, there will be a...

Im not promoting anything. Only discussing my personal experiences and looking for support and advice as a new Christian.
