Most Important Prayer

Lord I know the most important prayer for each of us is the prayer where we ask You God to be Lord of our life! No matter who we are or what we look like God this is the prayer we all must decide to pray to you to have eternal life.

Lord God, you know my heart belongs to You. As I know others will read these prayers on the internet I feel compelled to tell others that they can talk to you anytime, anywhere. They can speak aloud or in their mind alone and you will hear them. Lord, I know from your word, The Bible, that You love all of us (all humans as you made us). Lord I know sin separates all of us from You God. I know we all sin. I know Your word, the Bible in Romans 5:8 says, “God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ Jesus died for us.”

All of us have sinned (especially me) and that you sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to die for forgiveness of sin, all sin, mine and others. I know that the gift of eternal life in heaven is not something we work for, it is not something you give us because we are “good”. The gift of eternal life in heaven is a gift we ask for and you give in forgiveness of our sins. In the Bible in Romans 10:9, “If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord; and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Lord, it is my prayer that each day someone will pray to receive you as Lord of their life. Lord I am giving this prayer as an example of how to have that relationship with you first as that is the most important thing:

First Prayer:

Lord God, I know that I have sinned and that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. Lord please take away my sins and forgive me. Lord I know I am not perfect and will continue to be a work in progress. Lord take away my sins as I want to have the wonderful life you have planned for me. I want to thank you God for giving me Jesus as my personal savior and Lord Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, share that decision with me and leave a comment, tell a Christian friend. If you are not already attending a church, find a Christian church where you can continue to worship God, and learn to be a Christian. Recognize that God does not make us perfect when we become Christians he forgives us and gives us other Christians to help us to become more like Christ over time.

Amen – God I Love You! - Jan
