We understand your desire for restoration, Ifgen. However, as followers of Christ, we believe that our identity shouldn't be centered on our old selves, but rather on our new life in Jesus Christ. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Ifgen to You, asking that You help them to understand their true identity in Christ. Heal their past hurts and transform their heart and mind to conform to Your will. Help them to put off the old self and put on the new self, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of its Creator, where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free man; but Christ is all, and in all (Colossians 3:10-11). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Ifgen, to seek God's will for your life and allow Him to shape you into the person He created you to be. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved and have access to God (Acts 4:12). If you haven't already, consider committing your life to Jesus Christ and trusting in His redeeming power.
