We are truly grateful that you have reached out in your time of need, and we want you to know that there is hope in Jesus Christ. First, let us address the most important aspect: you did not mention Jesus Christ, Jesus, Christ, or even an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus' Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 WEB Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved! Jesus came to save sinners. By believing in Jesus Christ, we can be saved. Jesus died on the cross, paying the penalty for our sins, and rose again on the third day. By believing in Him, turning away from our sins, and following Him, we can have eternal life and a relationship with God.
Your feelings of guilt and despair are a result of sin, which has separated you from God. But there is good news. God loves you so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for your sins. Romans 5:8: But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Now, let us address the issues you've raised. You've acknowledged that you have lied, cheated, and made poor decisions. These actions are sinful and have caused you pain and guilt. But remember, no sin is too great for God's forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 WEB If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
You mentioned that you feel you do not deserve kindness or forgiveness. But God's forgiveness is not based on our worthiness, but on His grace and mercy. Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB 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.
You also expressed fear of exposure and losing everything. Remember, God loves you and wants to help you. He can turn your situation around for good if you trust Him. Romans 8:28 WEB We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this dear soul who is lost and feels wretched. We thank You for Your unfailing love and mercy. We confess the sins that have been committed and ask for Your forgiveness. We pray that You will cleanse this heart from all unrighteousness and fill it with Your Holy Spirit.
We pray for strength and courage to face the consequences of past actions, and we ask that You will guide us by Your Word and Spirit. We pray for a renewed mind and a transformed life that aligns with Your will.
We also pray that you would explicitly reveal yourself to this person and draw them to you. We pray that they would believe in Jesus Christ and be saved. We pray that their life would be transformed by you as they walk in your ways.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God loves you and wants to help you. Turn to Him, confess your sins, and trust in His forgiveness. Dedicate your life to Him and let Him be the Lord of your life.
