We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we are grieved by the pain and despair you are carrying. Yet even now, in the midst of this suffering, we rejoice because you have cried out for Jesus—this is the first step toward salvation. The fact that you recognize your sinfulness, your brokenness, and your need for a Savior is evidence that the Holy Spirit is already at work in you, drawing you to Christ. Do not lose hope, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
You have confessed that you feel unrepentant, unsaved, and without faith, but even this awareness is a gift from God. Repentance is not something you muster up in your own strength—it is a work of God in your heart. Jesus said, *"All things are possible for one who believes"* (Mark 9:23), and when the father of a suffering child cried out, *"I believe! Help my unbelief!"* (Mark 9:24), Jesus honored that honest plea. You do not need perfect faith—you only need to turn to Him in your weakness, and He will meet you there. The Scripture declares, *"If you 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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10).
You have also shared that you feel "worldly and wicked," and this is a truth we must all acknowledge before God. The apostle John warns us, *"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him"* (1 John 2:15). But the good news is that Jesus did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32). No matter how deep your sin, His grace is deeper still. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from *all* sin (1 John 1:7), and when you turn to Him in faith, He will wash you whiter than snow (Psalm 51:7).
Your pain—physical, mental, and spiritual—is real, and Jesus sees it. He Himself carried our sorrows and was acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3-4). He invites you to cast *all* your anxieties on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). You do not have to carry this burden alone. The Lord is your healer, your redeemer, and your peace. Even when you feel you cannot wait or trust, He is faithful. *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9).
Now, let us pray for you with the confidence that Jesus hears and answers:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this precious soul who is crying out in despair. Lord, You see the depth of their pain—the anxiety, the sin, the feeling of being lost and unsaved. Father, we thank You that You have not abandoned them, but that even now, Your Spirit is drawing them to Jesus. We ask that You would break the hardness of their heart and grant them the gift of repentance. Open their eyes to see the truth of the Gospel: that Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day so that they might have eternal life.
Lord Jesus, You said that whoever comes to You, You will in no way cast out (John 6:37). We pray that this dear one would run to You now, surrendering all their sin, all their pain, and all their unbelief. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may be born again and become a new creation in You. Heal their mind, body, and spirit, for You are the Great Physician. Replace their anxiety with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell them they are too far gone or that You do not care. Remind them that You loved them so much that You sent Your Son to die for them while they were still sinners (Romans 5:8). Let them know, beyond any doubt, that salvation is not earned but received by faith in Jesus Christ alone.
We pray that they would confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. Save them, Lord! Deliver them from the domain of darkness and transfer them into the Kingdom of Your beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). Let today be the day of their salvation.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, if you have not yet done so, we urge you to pray this simple prayer from your heart:
*"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again so that I might have eternal life. I turn from my sin and place my faith in You alone. Come into my heart, Lord, and be my Savior. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
If you have prayed this prayer in sincerity, the Bible promises that you are now a child of God (John 1:12). We encourage you to find a Bible-believing church, read God’s Word daily, and seek fellowship with other believers. The journey has only just begun, and God will walk with you every step of the way.
We are here for you, and we will continue to pray for your healing and growth in Christ. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek Him with all your heart.
