Pray To Receive Christ
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
My grandson, Shepherd, recently gave his life to Jesus. His father, Jonathan, is the one who had trouble finding the deer in his scope when he was young. Jonathan felt in his heart that he needed to talk to his 10-year-old son about giving his life to Christ. One day, he looked at Shepherd and said, “Shepherd, have you ever given your life to Christ?” My grandson responded and said, “No, I don't know how.” Jonathan replied, “I will show you how.” Then, Jonathan led Shepherd to pray to receive Christ.
This example is so simple, but it is very profound! Salvation is only a prayer away. We often overcomplicate what it takes to be saved; in reality, it all starts with prayer. Of course, many things follow the decision to accept Jesus as your Savior. These include surrender, obedience, and living your life following Christ. The first step is just a simple prayer.
You don’t have to be completely clean before you ask Jesus to be your Savior. He invites you to come as you are. He is the One who wants to make you whole and cleanse you from your sin.
If you have never given your life to Jesus, I pray you will let someone show you how to become a follower of Christ. I pray you will ask Him to be the Lord of your life, taking your first step of obedience as you choose to follow Him. If you are a believer, I pray that the Lord will place someone in your life who doesn’t know Jesus. Make the most of this opportunity to share the Gospel with that person. Because salvation is just a prayer away, pray with someone as they accept His free gift of salvation.

It was the happiest time of my life when I accepted Jesus as my Savior and gave Him my. May I be obedient to lead someone else to Christ that hasn't had that experience, yet
I accepted Christ 59 yrs ago at the age of ten When I look back it has been the best decision of my life Jesus is King and I look forward to His Homecoming Due to High blood pressure and heart problems I have seen Him 5 times and people have no idea what He is Really like Thanks to modern day medical inventions I have been home and they force me to come back I Now have all the paperwork to Hopefully Stop That Heaven is so beautiful and Jesus is more than people can Imagine Now that's Real Life and I look to seeing my Savior for Eternity Until Then the World needs a man like Curt to tell the Truth and it only by Gods Grace that I accidentally found You but Truthfully we both know that with God there are NO ACCIDENTS I have listened to Charles Stanley but now I will make time for you and Him It amazes me that you Can't keep a good man down ( God's man down) He is Now in Heaven and I can still hear him every Sunday and he lead me to you So I am double Blessed on Sunday Have a blessed day
God Knows ! PRAISE The Lord for His LOVE and Kindness. ( Grace and Mercy)
Lord I pray for the lost. Lord I have so much to be thankful for. First I live in a country where I have a right to worship you and call me Lord and savior of my heart. Lord I am so thankful for that. So today Lord I pray for those countries that won't let you in Lord that you would open doors to these people so that the they can here about you Lord let doors be closed and nothing stop people from going and tell others about Jesus Help us Lord and lead us down the path that we would be willing to open our hearts to the lost. Help this nation that we will get on our knees and pray for them to come to know you
