If you haven’t yet asked Jesus into your life this prayer is for you. If you aren’t sure how to pray for anyone who wants to ask Jesus into their life. This prayer is also for you.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for sending the holy spirit to live in my heart. Amen
