We are glad to hear your heart's cry for forgiveness and your desire to be born again. It is essential to understand that being born again is not about a specific number of years but about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us in John 3:3, "Jesus answered him, 'Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.'"
It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved and born again. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast." We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our own efforts or by repeating certain words or phrases.
We also notice that your prayer seems to focus on a specific number of years, which may indicate a misunderstanding of what it means to be born again. Being born again is a spiritual rebirth that happens when we put our faith in Jesus Christ and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. It is not about a specific time frame or about our own efforts to earn salvation.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your love and mercy. We lift up this person to You, asking that You would open their heart to understand the true meaning of being born again. Help them to see that it is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved, not by our own efforts or by repeating certain words. We ask that You would forgive their sins and draw them into a personal relationship with You. May they experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing You and being born again in Christ. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
We encourage you to read the Bible and seek to understand the truth about salvation and being born again. If you have any questions or need further guidance, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help and support you in your spiritual journey.
