Prayers

Becoming a Christian (or starting a relationship with God)
Jesus, through his death and resurrection, has provided every one of us with the promise of salvation and a personal relationship with God. We can do nothing more to earn it, but we do need to have the faith to accept it. Here is a prayer you can use to start that relationship:

I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life (take a few moments to ask his forgiveness for anything particular that is on your conscience). Please forgive me. I now turn from everything that I know is wrong.

Thank you that you died on the cross for me so that I could be forgiven and set free.

Thank you that you offer me forgiveness and the gift of your Spirit. I now receive that gift.

Please come into my life by your Holy Spirit to be with me forever.
