A Prayer of Repentance and Faith In Jesus Christ
Father in heaven, You are Yahweh, the one true God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You are holy.
You are my Creator.
You are the righteous Judge.
You are the only true God.
I admit that I have sinned against You.
I see that You hate sin because it opposes who You are.
I see that my sin separates me from You and deserves Your just judgment.
I repent.
I change my mind about my sin.
I grieve that I have offended You.
I do not blame You, Adam and Eve, my parents, my circumstances, or any other reason that would give me an excuse for my sins.
Against You and You alone I have sinned.
I take full responsibility for my decisions and what I have done.
I agree with You that sin is wrong and that Your ways are right.
I reject my old way of thinking and living.
Give me the mind of Christ.
Please have mercy on me.
Please show me grace.
Please forgive me.
I confess my sins to You now.
Bring to mind what I need to confess, and I will be honest.
Here are sins I know I have committed.
[Name them plainly before God.]
I do not want to hide or excuse anything.
I want to turn away from all sin moving forward.
I stop trusting in myself or any other religious system.
I stop trusting in my effort and my good deeds to save me.
I turn away from rebellion and unbelief.
I put my trust fully in Jesus Christ alone.
I confess that Jesus is Lord.
I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins as the perfect sacrifice.
I believe Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, defeating death, just as He predicted, proving He is the Messiah.
Jesus is the only mediator and way to You, Father.
Father, through Jesus, remove my sins from me completely, as far as the east is from the west.
Declare me right with You through the blood of Jesus. The perfect, sinless, substitutional sacrifice on the cross for my sins.
Even though I do not deserve it, I gladly accept Your free gift of grace and salvation.
I make a covenant pledge with You, God.
I make a clear decision today to live for You, not for myself.
I surrender my life to you.
I commit to follow Your ways and Your purpose for my life.
Give me Your Holy Spirit.
Transform me from the inside out.
Make me a new creation in Christ.
Put within me a heart that desires to obey Jesus fully from this moment on.
Help me count the cost and not look back.
Help me abide (remain) in Christ.
Help me to grow in relationship with You.
Help me take up my cross daily and follow You.
Help me flee from sin and continually walk in the spirit.
Help me be holy, just as You are holy.
Help me endure to the end through trials, temptation, and persecution.
Help me remain faithful until the day You call me home to be with You.
Sanctify and teach me Your word, which is truth.
Help me to hide Your word in my heart, so I will not sin against you.
Produce discipline, obedience, and true fruit in my life with the help of your Holy Spirit dwelling inside of me.
I choose to worship you moving forward, in spirit and truth.
I am now Your humble slave, saint, child, an ambassador of Christ.
I want to now glorify You in all that I do.
Use my entire life for Your glory.
Use me to reach the lost and spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.
Give me opportunities to share Your saving message of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ to those who need to hear it.
Bring the increase to the seeds You help me plant. Grow them into maturity and produce an abundance through me.
Help me to preach Your word, in and out of season.
Help me to speak boldly, confidently, and Biblically with clarity.
Help me to always speak the truth in love using the full counsel of God in context.
Help me to always show the truth by my actions.
Thank You that You want ALL to be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth.
Thank You for Your patience giving people time to repent and trust Jesus for salvation.
Thank You again for Your grace, mercy, and faithfulness.
THANK YOU that I am now born again, a new creation in Christ, and have passed out of death into life!
Help me to be ALL IN for you!
I choose to follow You, both now and forevermore.
I give You ALL the praise, honor, and glory that you deserve!
Yours is the blessing, honor, glory, and might, forever and ever.
In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
