Before we can ever truly deal with the hurts in our own lives, we have to be centered spiritually. We have to have a relationship with God. And that is not a thing we can achieve on our own.
Jesus Christ said in John 14:6 in God’s book, the Bible, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” Jesus is the Son of God and only by giving our life to Him, do we have access to God . . . and to the peace we all seek.
Jon had taken that step to give His heart to Christ. That did not mean it was easy for him to forgive a father who’d wronged him. But it did mean he had the Heavenly Father’s strength to depend on, to help him face his past and confront it, and find forgiveness.
Do you need help dealing with the heartbreaking situations that have happened in your life?
You can find hope by opening your heart to God. Your prayer can be simple.
• 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. Your prayer might sound something like this:
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.
