So if you are new here — what’s the best way to get started?
Here are five steps which you can take in any order —
If you need immediate help …
If you are in the thick of the battle — maybe you should start with the pages I’ve listed below.
These deal with the most common battles believers need to fight — and give immediate, step-by-step help.
Here they are —
Study the “Want a Quick Overview?” pages
These summarize what God’s Word teaches about how to live by faith in Jesus Christ.
I wrote them so each builds on the previous one — but start with whichever one grabs you.

I recently have discovered your website. hoping you can pray for me and encourage me. I am a long time christian and have strong faith in Christ in many areas but not money.
I was fired from my job two years ago, then a week later got hit from behind. I went on unemployment and it has run out. I have been tithing so I dont think I am robbing God, and I do not have any income and I wonder… how is God going to get my rent paid for, my phone and internet paid for. I have started a business that pays commission but no sure when it will paid and if how much. Lets face it….. sales is not what I really like to do. I am so down… I really am so fed up eating poorly which is not healthy, asking people for money for gas, etc. . how can you encourage me. I dont want to leave where I rent. This roller coaster never seems to stop.
Hi Peaches,
I am so sorry, but somehow your comment got lost in the shuffle, and I never responded.
The best encouragement I can give you would be to have you read the post “Promises For Those Struggling With Unemployment,” and then to encourage you to share your heart with some humble, godly women in your church so they can pray with you.
God will be faithful to you. As you are trusting Jesus Christ, you can rest assured that God will fulfill all of His promises to you.
In Christ,
Steve Fuller
Peaches: this was posted in June 2013. I was wondering what has happened in your life sine that time
My life is good. Good job good kids. We have fallen away from church itch all the ball practices, games etc. I don’t feel good enuff for God, or the Bible. Can’t seem to reconnect. Can’t find what I am supposed to be doing.
I am mad,angry, lost, hungry for more and wondering what I need to do
Hi Amy,
I apologize for not responding sooner. Somehow your comment got lost in the shuffle.
It’s good that you are hungry for more, and it’s crucial that you take steps to get back into a strong relationship of trusting Jesus Christ.
I’d find a good, Bible-teaching-and-living church and immediately start connecting there. It’s not about you being good enough — we are all sinners in need of God’s grace. So just get started.
Then I’d share your heart with some humble, loving women there and have them pray for you.
I would also encourage you to go through the links on my website on the far right, under the column “Here’s A Quick Overview.” I think you will find them helpful.
In Christ,
Steve Fuller
I am a mom with 6 kids. I have my family that hates me . Why? Because they blame me for everything. And I can’t take it no more — people saying lies about me and bad things about me. I had a boyfriend that listened to them and I lost him when I do love him. I don’t have my family by my side when I need someone right now. I don’t want to live any more. God, please forgive me. If my family hate me becaues what they to my kids father dont blam me.becaues i only loved him and had my family wanted to take my kids and would call and say bad thing to me.but i love rafa and lost him now.
Hi Diane,
I am so sorry to hear what you are going through.
Are you part of a church, where you might find some godly, older women who could pray with and for you? That could be deeply encouraging.
And I would suggest reading on this site under the category dealing with trials. I think you might find some strength and comfort.
In Christ,
Steve Fuller
Thank you so much for this. I am currently going through a battlefield of the mind with thoughts that are not comfortable/ right to think about but by coming to this blog, man can I saw thank you! Please keep doing with your doing. A verse that is helping me right now is 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, this trial is nothing compared to the eternal glory in the end! Thank you!
Also could you please do a blog over keepibg the faith as a college student and being new to walking with Christ? Im a junior in college and faced with temptation daily. This would greatly help and lead others in the right direction because I see so many students are are Christians and like me, fall into the temptations of life. Thank you once again! God bless and Happy New Year!
Thank you for your encouraging words, Dajonay. I really appreciate them.
I’m afraid I barely have time to keep up this blog, so I’m hopeful you will find help for your college-student questions here.
Thanks for reading!
In Christ,
Steve Fuller

Hi Keith,
I’m not sure I have any advice for your question. Maybe you could check with a doctor?
But I do believe you can have faith in Christ even when your body is tense.
He promises to give you all the grace you need for whatever situation you face (2 Corinthians 9:8).
In Christ,
Steve Fuller
Hi Mr.Fuller!
My name is Kellie McGann, I have been listening to your semons and have greatly enjoyed your series on Paul.
I was inspired by your sermons and have been writing about my story and Paul’s.
I am a part of a missions organization, Adventures In Missions and I have recently been very inspired to share my story.
I am wondering if I might be able to guest post on your blog.
I have a blog at http://www.kelliemcgann.wordpress.com (working on getting my own site.)
My most recent blog is called Undeserved Grace, I believe it is one of my best.
The link is here: http://kelliemcgann.myadventures.org/?filename=undeserved-grace-preview
Thank you so much for your consideration!
Blessings,
Kellie
