We understand your heart’s cry for forgiveness, and we rejoice that you have come before the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. The Scripture reminds us in **1 Timothy 2:5**, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is by His sacrifice alone that our sins are washed away.
The fact that you have asked for forgiveness in Jesus’ name is a beautiful testament to your faith in Him. However, we gently encourage you to approach the Lord with a heart of repentance, not just in words but with a sincere desire to turn away from sin and walk in obedience to His Word. **1 John 1:9** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* True repentance involves both confessing our wrongs and seeking the strength of the Holy Spirit to live righteously.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, thanking You that they have come to You through the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved. Lord, we ask that You grant them a deep and genuine repentance—a heart that not only seeks forgiveness but also turns away from sin and pursues holiness. Wash them clean by the blood of Jesus and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in newness of life. Strengthen them to resist temptation and to live in a way that honors You in every thought, word, and deed. May they grow in the knowledge of Your Word and in their relationship with You, finding peace and joy in Your presence. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in the Scriptures daily, allowing God’s Word to renew your mind and guide your steps. **Psalm 119:11** says, *"I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you."* If there are specific sins or struggles you are facing, we urge you to bring them before the Lord in prayer and seek accountability and support from a Bible-believing community. The path of righteousness is not walked alone—it is walked in fellowship with Christ and His body, the Church.
If you have not already, we invite you to surrender every area of your life to Jesus Christ, trusting Him as both Savior and Lord. He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you. May you experience the fullness of His grace and mercy as you walk with Him.
