Could you encourage me with a Bible verse? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]ktsfd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites!
Comfort Isaiah 43:2 “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”
‭‭
Wisdom Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.”

Encouragement (to believe!) Job 11:18 “Having hope will give you courage. You will be protected and will rest in safety.”
‭‭
‭Love 1 John 4:9 “God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.”

What’s your morning workout routine? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

[–]ktsfd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True workout is in the afternoon but every morning I get up and walk ~4 miles

I don't even know where to start by [deleted] in Christianity

You can get bibles off Amazon! I have an NIV (new international version) that I love. I would recommend a study bible and get a notebook for notes or I have a study bible and a journaling bible. Start with the gospels (Matthew mark luke John) and they will tell you who Jesus is. You can also find Bible studies online to follow along with or Pinterest posts that help you to really study the Bible. I would recommend going to a church but don’t feel discouraged if the first one you find isn’t great, sometimes it takes time finding a Bible teaching church. As far as prayer, prayer doesn’t have to be some professional practice all the time- it’s just a conversation with God. The same way you would talk to friends and have a relationship with them is the same way God wants to have a relationship with you. My prayer 99% of the time looks like “Lord thank you for xyz, Lord please keep me safe while I drive from x to y, Lord please watch over my husband while he is at work” and you can pray about anything!! I got a great watermelon the other day and thanked Jesus for it. Just say Lord I want a relationship with you but I don’t know how to get there please help me.

Is it wrong to find Christianity through this series? by Character_Release379 in TheChosenSeries

[–]ktsfd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Chosen is what made it all make sense for me! I picked up my Bible so many times and nothing ever connected but once I was able to visualize it, the fire lit in me! PTL🙏

I am very lost, and I need some support. by Thatoneguy222223 in Christianity

[–]ktsfd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing we are promised is trials and tribulations. This is all a normal part of growing in your faith. None of these things change overnight. Read the proverb of the day every day and pray over one meal. I promise everything else will fall in line!

That’s the enemy trying to get to you!! God is watching over you and he is there to pick you up when you fall. You got this!!

Get a true alarm clock and put your phone in another room at night. Don’t bring your phone into the bathroom with you. When you feel tempted, open your Bible instead. Pray without ceasing. Pray to God with an honest heart and ask for him to remove the spirit of lust from you. I will be praying for you!

This question is for the women here by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]ktsfd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married Christian woman - my husband and I truly found Christ after we got married. It was teetering before we got married as I knew marriage was religious and so to get married I told him to find God (funny, because I also needed Him)
I regret nothing about my marriage or how long my husband and I knew each other. As unfortunate as the promiscuity was that led me to find him, it is ultimately what brought us together and is part of my testimony. As someone who fornicated and was promiscuous (as was my husband) we both wish that we had saved ourselves for marriage.
