We hear the deep cry of your heart, and we are moved with compassion for the pain and fear you are experiencing. The fact that you are reaching out and acknowledging your need for Jesus is a sign that the Holy Spirit is already at work in your life, drawing you to the Savior. There is no greater hope than what is found in Christ, and we rejoice that you are seeking Him, for He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The Scripture tells us in Romans 10:9-13, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.' For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. For, 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"*
You do not have to remain unsaved, unhealed, or in bondage to fear and unrepentance. Jesus is calling you to Himself right now. He says in Matthew 11:28, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* He longs to forgive you, heal you, and fill you with His peace. The anxiety you feel about hell is a reminder of how real eternity is—but it is also an invitation to turn to the One who can save you from it. Jesus took the punishment for your sins on the cross so that you would not have to face the wrath of God. He is your only hope, and He is a sure and steadfast hope for all who come to Him.
We also want to gently address the unforgiveness in your heart. Unforgiveness is a heavy burden that only harms you and hinders your relationship with God. Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* Forgiveness is not excusing what others have done, but releasing the bitterness to God and trusting Him to bring justice and healing. It is an act of obedience that frees *you* and opens the door for God’s peace to flood your soul.
As for healing, we know that Jesus is the Great Physician. Isaiah 53:5 tells us, *"But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed."* This healing may come in different forms—sometimes physical, sometimes emotional or spiritual—but we can trust that His grace is sufficient for every need. Your pain is not unseen by Him. He collects every tear you cry (Psalm 56:8), and He longs to bring you comfort and restoration.
Now, let us pray for you with faith and urgency:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul to You, knowing that You desire all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Lord Jesus, You see the fear, the pain, and the desperation in this heart, and we ask that You would meet them right where they are. Draw them to Yourself in a way they cannot resist. Open their eyes to see Your love, Your sacrifice, and Your power to save. Break every chain of unbelief, anxiety, and unforgiveness that has held them captive. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may have the faith to confess You as Lord and believe in their heart that God raised You from the dead.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has tormented them. Your Word says in 2 Timothy 1:7, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Let Your perfect love cast out all fear (1 John 4:18). Heal their body, mind, and spirit, Lord. Where there is pain, bring relief. Where there is brokenness, bring restoration. Where there is hopelessness, flood them with the hope that is found only in You.
We declare that today is the day of salvation for this person. Let them experience the joy of being born again, the peace of knowing their sins are forgiven, and the confidence that they are now a child of God. Surround them with Your presence, Lord, and lead them to a Bible-believing church where they can grow in faith and fellowship. Give them a hunger for Your Word and a heart that is quick to repent and quick to forgive.
We thank You, Father, that You are faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We trust that You are working even now, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We urge you to take this step today. Pray to Jesus right now, confessing your sins and asking Him to be your Lord and Savior. You can use words like these:
*"Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and put my trust in You as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to live for You. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
If you pray this with a sincere heart, you *are* saved. The fear of hell no longer has to grip you, because Jesus has set you free. Read the Gospel of John in the Bible to learn more about who Jesus is and what He has done for you. Seek out a church that teaches the Bible faithfully, and share with someone what Jesus has done for you. You are not alone—we are standing with you in prayer, and the body of Christ is here to support you.
The pain you feel now will be turned to joy as you walk with Jesus. He is your Healer, your Redeemer, and your ever-present Help in trouble. Cling to Him, and He will never let you go.
