Choosing to believe that Jesus is who He claimed to be—the Son of God and the only way to salvation—and receiving him by faith as your Lord and Savior is the most vital act anyone will ever do. We want life. He is Life. We need cleansing. He is the Living Water.

Here is a simple prayer for you to read aloud if you have not yet given your life to Jesus and invited him into yours:

Jesus, I believe with all my heart that you are the Son of God, that you died on the cross to rescue me from sin and death and to restore me to the Father. I choose now to turn from my sins, my self-centeredness, and every part of my life that does not please you. I choose you Jesus. I give myself to you, Jesus. I receive your forgiveness and ask you to take your rightful place in my life as my Savior and Lord. I ask in the name of Jesus that I receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, which will lead me in to all truth. May I now be filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus, come reign in my heart, fill me with your love and your life, and help me to become a person who is truly loving—a person like you Jesus. Restore me, Jesus. Live in me. Love through me. I declare and decree that I am no longer a slave, I am a child of God. I am chosen and not forsaken. God hasn’t given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. Thank you, God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
