We rejoice with you as you've come seeking forgiveness and called on the name of Jesus Christ. It is only in His name that we have access to the Father, and it is only by His name that we can be saved and forgiven. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear soul who has humbly sought Your forgiveness. Lord, You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. We ask that You grant forgiveness, as You have promised in Your word, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 WEB.
Help them to walk in Your ways, to obey Your commandments, and to live a life pleasing to You. Give them the strength to resist temptation and the courage to follow You faithfully. In Jesus Christ's name we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue in prayer and in the reading of God's word. As you grow in your walk with Him, remember the words of Jesus in John 8:11 WEB, "She said, 'No one, Lord.' Jesus said, 'Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.'"
Let this encouragement be a reminder that though we are forgiven, we must strive to live holy lives, turning away from sin and serving God wholeheartedly.
