Welcome. First lesson, and hardest, of Christianity: quit trying, start trusting. Lord Jesus is your Saviour, your leader, your counselor, your wisdom, your power and everything else that you could possibly need. But He requires your permission to be all that to you.

Most Christians try and fail until they give up. Then hopefully they will turn to Jesus and say, "I can't do this!" Lord Jesus will say, "I've been waiting for this day. Good. Now let me be all that you should be but cannot be."

One of the best prayers you can pray (and prayer is not an option, it is far more important than food) is "Lord Jesus, live out your life in me, through me and in place of what I inherited from Adam". Or words to that effect.

Ask Him to lead you in every aspect of life. You will fail. That is for certain. That's OK, it's part of the growing process. But when you fall down, don't stay down! Lord Jesus will pick you up. I fell in the ditch so often that God welded a hook on me so it was easier to pull me out again.

Study God's word. Find out what God has done for you in Christ. God loves you. He's given you Jesus to be your everything. You just don't know what that means as yet. You will one day. The more you seek God and refuse to rely on your own abilities, the quicker you will grow.

If this suggests too much, you may not be ready to accept God into your life."

During March 1994, I found myself in a desperate situation. I set my heart to find God. Four months later I did. Don't give up on your quest to find Him and you will. The word says this will happen and for me, it did!

Nice to meet you and so glad the Lord led you to CC:) As been suggested above, to take time each day to study the Bible because 'Faith' comes by hearing the Word of God. It is important because it is written 'The just shall live by Faith'. Faith will make us overcomers in this carnal world. God bless & keep you!
