completely new start. He is eagerly waiting to come into your
heart and lead you on a journey to freedom from the bondage
you are living in now. Here is a sample prayer you can use:
Prayer for Salvation
Jesus, I am so lost. I don't know how I got so far from
you, but I have. I need you, and I ask you to come into
my heart. Save me! Change my heart. I believe you are
the Son of God; I believe you died on a cross for my
sin and shame. This day, I choose life. I choose you. I
know that you will walk with me on this journey, so I
can rest in knowing that you will help me through it
all. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Communicate with God
Accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord is a wonderful step
toward freedom, but simply "getting saved" isn't enough. If you
fail to develop a real relationship with God, you will miss out on
a lifetime of amazing experiences, blessings, joy, and freedom.
The Lord doesn't expect you to be perfect or all put together.
He wants to meet you right where you are and pick up the
pieces of your broken life. He desires to create a relationship
with you that will meet the needs that are driving you to these
harmful behaviors.
A good place to start developing a relationship with anyone
is by spending time together talking. The Lord wants you to
talk to Him, and He desires to talk to you. The most important
thing you can ever do in any situation, good or bad, is to share
it with God. Cry out to Him in your times of desperation, and
rejoice with Him in all your breakthroughs and victories.
