Heavenly Father; I confess that I am a sinner and ask for your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus, your Son, died on the cross to pay the consequences, the penalty for all my sins. Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that God raised you from the dead so please come into my life be my Saviour and my Lord, help me to become the person you want me to be and to live always for you.

Holy Spirit please come and fill me with the knowledge of Christ, thank you Lord for your forgiveness and for your assurance that I will spend eternity with you in heaven forever. Amen.Now go tell someone what Christ has done for you, and rejoice………
