Pray a "Prayer of Salvation"

The most important decision you can make in your life is to give Jesus Christ control of your life and to ask for the forgiveness of your sins.

Are you ready to make that decision?

Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. By faith I open the door of my life and my heart to receive you as my Savior and my Lord. Please forgive me of my sins. Thank you for your grace and for giving me eternal life. Take control of the decisions of my life. The Bible says that in you I am now a new person. My past has been erased from the record and all things have become new.

I now receive your Holy Spirit who promised to never leave me. Fill me with new desires that are honoring to you, and help me to become the kind of person you want me to be.
Amen!
