Prayer: Father,I come before you and acknowledge that I am a sinner. I confess my sins to you and I want you to purge me of them so that I may be yours. I believe that you died on the cross to take my sins away. I accept you as my personal lord and saviour. Help me to do your will,o lord. Come into my life today that I would be made whole today. Thank you lord.
In Jesus name we pray (Amen).
Addition: do not be afraid to seek his face for God is always ready to accept you no matter how much of a sinner you are. He is so merciful that he would forgive of your sins and he would remove your name from the book of death and add it back to the book of life.
He would even go as far as bless you beyond your expectations. All you have to do is confess and forsake your sins, accept him in your life,worship him in spirit and in truth. Our God is an awesome God. He has done it before and he would continue to do it again and again and again.
God bless you as you do this.
Shalom.
