Dear Lord,
It seems I can’t win. I can’t be good enough for You. The payment for my sins will be eternal death.
Except that Your Word says I don’t have to receive death in exchange for my sins. Instead, You offer me everlasting life through Jesus Christ.
This offer sounds too good to be true, but Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.”
Yes, I would very much like to take You up on this offer. And the first thing I must do is repent, meaning I must recognize that I am a sinner and turn from my sin to Jesus. If I do, Jesus will take my sin off me.
So, yes, I turn from my sin, and I turn to Jesus to be the Lord of my life.
Now I am forgiven, clean, and whole. You refresh my spirit with Your very presence. You are faithful and reliable. Because I confessed my sins to You, You have forgiven me and cleansed me from everything I’ve ever done wrong.
This is something I cannot be quiet about. I have to share this good news with my friends and family so that they can be delivered from the power of darkness. I will tell everyone that I now belong to You, and You will give me the power to live for You. I am now free in Christ Jesus.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
The payment for sin is death, but the gift that God freely gives is everlasting life found in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 GW
Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 GW
And now you must repent and turn back to God so that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing will stream from the Lord’s presence.
Acts 3:19 TPT
God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we’ve done wrong.
1 John 1:9 GW
So, go ahead—let everyone know it!
Tell the world how he broke through
and delivered you from the power of darkness and
has gathered us together from all over the world.
He has set us free to be his very own!
Psalm 107:2–3 TPT
