We are all sinners. We live in a very imperfect world with temptation and evil all around. We try to do what is right, but sometimes it is not enough. Satan knows our weaknesses and he tries hard to make us follow him. When we feel ourselves giving into his temptations we need to seek the help of the One who died for our sins so that someday we may have eternal life. If you are a believer in God but not sure what it means to be saved, and you desperately want salvation, you have come to the right place. And if you are saved but struggling in your life as a Christian, this is your place too. Please take a moment to read the following prayer before you begin to seek comfort for your pain.

Dear Lord,

My life is such a mess. I know I am a sinner and I don't deserve your mercy and grace, but I ask that you please come into my heart. Forgive me of all the wrong I have done in my life. I know that Your Son, Jesus, is my Lord and Savior. I know that He was sent to earth to die on the cross for me and was resurrected so that someday I may have eternal life. (John 3:16) Grant this for me now, Father. Hear my prayer. Let me live with you forever. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen."

If you said these words honestly and sincerely from your heart, you will soon feel a peace that transcends all understanding, and you will walk in His love for eternity. This does not mean you will never be tempted again or feel pain or sorrow in your life. However, being saved will keep you in His grace and love forever, and you will never again have to do it alone.

Want to know who Jesus is and how you can know him?

Life is full of many difficult and unexplained challenges. We have seen many ourselves here at JustFaith.com. Because of all the trials and errors that we have been through, we feel that God has directed us to this Web site, in order to help those of you who are unable to get through your own misfortunes. This site was created for you, to encourage you and to help restore the faith that sometimes gets buried too deep in every day problems, or unexpected and unexplained disasters or tragedies.

Though we may never understand them, even as seasoned believers, these challenges we face are meant to help us by giving us the strength and patience we need. But still we ask why? Why must we be the ones to feel the pain; from divorce or abandonment, sickness or abuse, depression or dependence, or from losing a precious loved one? "Why me?" we ask. "Why anyone?"

It never makes any sense when a child loses his or her battle from an incurable illness or accident, or someone takes someone else's life, or tragically their own. How does anyone ever get through that kind of pain? Or how does anyone get through the memories from an abusive relationship, or when the love of their life leaves them, never to return?

Your heart is bruised and your spirit is broken. You stumble through it, but you survive. Then comes another test, another trial. You trip again and fall to your knees. But once again you stand, only to end up flat on your face when life throws you another curve, another lesson. But somehow you struggle through, until another tragedy strikes. How much more can you take? How many more times can you endure all these misfortunes before you stop trying and give up completely?

We say never! Never give up! Don't fail the tests of this world. Don't let Satan have his way! He will do anything to hurt you and destroy your life. Turn your earthy trials into triumphs and let your mess become a message to others like yourself. Would you rather be bitter or better for it all?

JustFaith.com is about restoring faith, the faith we need in Jesus Christ and trusting the plan He has for us. You won't hear preaching, for we are not pastors. You won't receive judgment, for we are not God. What you will see are Scriptures from the Bible, for what better place to go for faith? What you will find are messages to help you get through your time of need, for we have been where you are. And what you will hear are prayers, for there is power in prayer.

You may feel abandoned, but you're not. God knows your heart and that is what He looks for. He would incline an ear to those hurting and crying out to Him. But the real issue is in knowing Jesus and having that saving knowledge of Him. That is the goal. God's goal. Sometimes it is not necessarily to just help you through a crisis, but to have that crisis bring you closer to Him and cause you to depend upon Him entirely.

God hears your cry. He feels your pain. He sees your tears. He has also blessed us with our own misfortunes (yes, blessed!), providing us with the words and experience we need to help you through yours. We are here to encourage you not to give up and to help you find your faith. We pray that you leave with a better understanding of your pain, your suffering or your loss, and that you feel the comfort of His arms again . . . . . or at last. In Christ's service, Tj
