Prayer of Salvation
Dear Lord Jesus, I look to you for deep heart relief and peace. I place my faith in You. Thank you for your leading me to confess that I have sinned against You as I have fought with you for control of my life, I have tried to define you according to my level of comfort. It has produced resentment in me against You. By trying to live without faith in You, I have limited your grace in me. I ask for your forgiveness and ask You now to open my eyes in faith to who You are and Your love for me. Help me now to place my faith completely in You. I confess my sins and ask You now in your grace and mercy to forgive me. I accept by faith that You love me and have a hope filled life in store for me. Thank you for giving Your life for me and for saving me, in Jesus name Amen
