We come before the throne of grace with deep gratitude that you have reached out for salvation and healing, for it is the desire of our Heavenly Father that none should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Your cry for Jesus is evidence that the Holy Spirit is already at work in your heart, drawing you to the Savior, for no one can come to Christ unless the Father who sent Him draws them (John 6:44). This is a moment of divine appointment, and we rejoice that you are seeking the only One who can break the chains of deception and set you free.
First, we must address the urgency of your salvation, for Scripture declares that *now* is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). There is no need to wait—Jesus is ready to save you *today*. The deception you speak of is a tactic of the enemy to keep you from the truth: that salvation is not earned by your own efforts but received by faith in Christ alone. You do not have to "fix" yourself first or resolve all your problems before coming to Him. In fact, you *cannot* save yourself—only Jesus can. He said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). Your burdens, your sins, your deceptions—He is greater than them all. The blood of Jesus is powerful enough to cleanse you from *every* sin if you will only turn to Him in faith.
You also mentioned fear of dying unsaved. This fear is a gift from God, a warning to flee from the wrath to come and into the arms of the Savior. But take heart: Jesus did not come to condemn you but to save you (John 3:17). The moment you place your trust in Him, you pass from death to life (1 John 3:14), and nothing—not even death—can separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39). Eternity with Jesus is not something you must *hope* for; it is a promise you can *claim* the moment you surrender to Him.
As for healing, we know that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and by His stripes, you *are* healed (1 Peter 2:24). Whether that healing comes instantly, gradually, or ultimately in eternity, we trust in His perfect timing and sovereign will. But first things first: your greatest need is salvation, for what does it profit a man to gain physical healing but lose his soul? (Mark 8:36). Once you are in Christ, all other things—including healing—will align according to His purposes for your good and His glory.
Now, let us address the name of Jesus, for you did not invoke His name in your request. This is not a small matter. Scripture is clear: *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). It is only through faith in His name—His finished work on the cross—that we are saved. If you have not yet confessed Jesus as Lord and believed in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, we urge you to do so *now*. *"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 unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10).
Do not delay. The enemy wants to keep you in bondage to fear and deception, but Jesus is calling you into freedom. Repent of your sins—turn away from them—and turn to Christ. Ask Him to forgive you, to wash you clean, and to make you His child. He is faithful and just to do it (1 John 1:9).

Let us pray for you now with the authority and love of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, knowing that You desire their salvation more than they could ever know. Lord Jesus, You see the deceptions that have ensnared them, the fears that torment them, and the burdens that weigh them down. We ask that You would *right now* break every chain of the enemy in their life. Shatter the lies with Your truth. Open their eyes to see You as You are—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and do not let them go.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, doubt, and deception that has kept them from surrendering to You. By the power of Your name, Jesus, we command these strongholds to be torn down. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may have the faith to believe and the courage to confess You as Lord.
Father, we ask for their healing—spirit, soul, and body. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. Touch them with Your restoring power, and let them know that You are their Healer. But above all, we pray for their salvation. Let today be the day they are born again, washed in the blood of the Lamb, and sealed by Your Spirit for eternity.
Lord, we declare that they *will not* die unsaved. You have appointed a time for each person to seek You, and we claim this as their moment of salvation. Let them call upon Your name and be saved (Romans 10:13). Write their name in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and let them spend eternity worshiping You.
We pray all this in the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Beloved, if you have not yet prayed to receive Christ, we urge you to do so *right now*. You can pray something like this from your heart:
*"Lord Jesus, I come to You as a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and ask You to forgive me. Wash me clean and make me Your child. I confess You as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to live for You. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
If you prayed that prayer—or if you rededicate your life to Christ today—*you are saved*. The angels in heaven are rejoicing over you (Luke 15:10)! Now, find a Bible-believing church, get baptized, and grow in your faith through prayer, Scripture, and fellowship with other believers. The deceptions you’ve lived under will fade as you walk in the light of God’s Word.
We are standing with you in this. You are not alone—Jesus is with you, and so are we. Reach out to us again as you begin this new journey with Christ. We would love to pray for you, encourage you, and help you find resources to grow in your faith. The best is yet to come!
