GROW IN YOUR WALK WITH CHRIST

Pathway To Salvation Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before You today admitting that I am a sinner. I know that I have fallen short of Your glory and am in need of Your forgiveness. I repent of my sins and turn away from everything that separates me from You.

I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead. I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior and trust in His sacrifice on the cross to save me from my sins.

Help me to obey Your Word and live a life that honors You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I can grow in faith and follow You all the days of my life.

Thank You for Your love, grace, and the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. I surrender my life to You.

In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
