Sue Carlisle says she doesn’t know a single person whose life is perfect. And she’s right. She says we all “have had heartaches of one sort or another—painful physical or environmental circumstances, hurtful actions from other people or regrets over their own choices.” Perhaps like Sue, you’ve sifted through broken dreams and shattered trust trying to find something solid on which to stand. Maybe you’ve struggled to find your footing, but kept slipping on fear, anger, confusion, and shame. Just as God was there for Sue, He is there for you too. He wants to have a personal relationship with you.
Here’s how to ask him into your life:
• Tell God that you want to accept His way to know true peace and joy.
• Tell Him that you know that without His help, you understand that you will be separated from God in life and death.
• Accept Jesus as God’s only provision to deal with your separation from Him.
• Invite Jesus, God’s Son, to take control of your life and place you in His care.
Pray this Prayer (or put it in your words)
Dear God, I accept Your way. I believe Your Son Jesus died for my sins so I can become part of the family of God. Because You raised Jesus from the dead, I can experience “Harmony of Life” with Your Son as my Shepherd. I’m sorry and turn from my sins and ask You, God, to take charge of my life. I ask your Holy Spirit to come and fill me now with Your presence and power that I will live each day walking on Your Path. I offer this prayer to You through Your Son, Jesus. Amen.
