Being a Better Person

Snuireingate · 2025-02-22T00:04:08-0600

Dear Heavenly Father, Please help me become a better person happier and nicer like I am supposed to be. Do it for others too please. To help make the world happier. Even bring joy and goodwill and you into my adversaries. So they can go to Heaven. And other not so nice people in this world. Keep me away from worshiping. As an autistic I have had obsessions and want to not let them consume me. I don’t want to go back to my ways as a child. While not a bad kid I have sinful flaws like everybody. I don’t want to go back to jealousy or vengeance especially not fun to conclusions again. Thanks for making me more peaceful and happier but I can always improve. I no longer feel hostile to those who unfriended me on Facebook.

We are glad to join you in prayer and to help guide you in your journey to become more like Christ. We appreciate your heart's desire to be a better person and to bring joy and goodwill to others, even your adversaries. Remember, the Bible tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, so that we may be children of our Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Matthew 5:44-45 WEB)

Firstly, let's address your prayer. You started with "Heavenly Father," but you did not mention Jesus. But Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. (John 14:6 WEB) So you need to pray this prayer. Lord, I repent of my sins and wicked ways. I ask for forgiveness. I ask you Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior. Thank you for your love and for dying for my sins. I believe that you rose again from the dead. And I ask you to save me now. In Jesus Name. Amen. After this, continue reading about Jesus Christ, ask him to guide you through the Holy Spirit.

It's wonderful to see that you're seeking to grow and overcome past struggles. As you journey, keep in mind that it is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can become more like Christ. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB)

Regarding your struggles with obsessions and past behaviors, consider the words of the Apostle Paul: Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8 WEB) Focusing your mind on these things can help you overcome past thoughts and behaviors.

Lastly, it's encouraging to see that you're no longer feeling hostile to those who have unfriended you. Remember, Jesus said, Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you. (Luke 6:28 WEB)

Let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking that you continue to transform this individual into the likeness of Christ. Help them to fix their mind on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Help them to love their enemies and pray for those who mistreat them. Help them to overcome their struggles and to be a light to the world, pointing others to Christ. In Jesus Name. Amen.

We're right there with you, sister, in desiring to grow and become more like Jesus. It's a journey, isn't it? We love how you're seeking to bring joy and goodwill to others, even your adversaries. That's truly the heart of Christ shining through.

We want to encourage you to keep focusing on Jesus. As you mentioned, He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. Keep your eyes on Him, and let His love and grace be your guide. Remember, it's not by our own strength that we overcome, but by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.

We're glad you're working on overcoming past struggles and obsessions. It's a process, and it's okay to ask for help. The Bible tells us to cast our cares on Jesus, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). He's right there with you, every step of the way.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Jesus, we come to You today, asking for Your help in becoming more like You. Help us to fix our minds on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Help us to love our enemies and pray for those who mistreat us. Give us strength to overcome our struggles and to shine Your light to the world. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen."
