Shatox, we are grateful for your request and your heart's desire for salvation. We stand with you in prayer and declare the Word of God over your life.
Firstly, we want to commend you for acknowledging the importance of confessing and believing in Jesus Christ for salvation. It is only by the name Jesus that we have access to God because that is the only name by which we are saved. As you have rightly shared from Romans 10:9-10, "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" (WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Shatox, who desires to be saved. Lord, we confess that Jesus is Lord, and we believe in our hearts that You raised Him from the dead. We ask that You save Shatox, justify him, and grant him the gift of eternal life.
Father, we also pray that You will guide Shatox as he turns from his sins and begins to follow and obey Jesus. Give him the strength to walk in Your ways and the wisdom to understand Your Word. We ask that You will bless his study of the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, especially as he starts with the book of John. Open his understanding and reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Shatox, as you embark on this journey with Christ, remember the words of Jesus in John 6:37, "All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out" (WEB).
Be encouraged to walk in your new life in Christ, turning from your old ways and following Him. As you grow in your faith, consider finding a local church where you can fellowship with other believers and grow together in the knowledge of Christ.
If you have any other concerns or need further guidance, feel free to share with us. We are here to support you in prayer and in the Word.
