Prayers and Repentance
“Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 (KJV, opens in a new tab), KJV)
The Beginner’s Prayer
Lord Jesus, I come to You just as I am. I know that I have sinned and fallen short of Your glory, and I cannot save myself. Thank You for loving me, for dying on the cross in my place and for rising again. I turn away from my sin and put my trust in You. Please forgive me, make me clean and come into my life as my Saviour and Lord. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to follow You every day. Thank You for hearing my prayer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” — 1 John 5:13 (KJV, opens in a new tab) (KJV)
The Lord’s Prayer
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
A Repentance Prayer
Jesus, I come to You to be cleansed, to be forgiven and to be changed. I need a new mind, O God! Forgive me for everything I have taken into my body and mind that did not honour You. Give me strength and a desire to feed on Christ and His word, to pray and to seek the Lord with all my heart. Forgive me, Jesus. I know You are coming soon, and I want to be ready. Touch me, forgive me, cleanse me and give me this hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
