We are grateful to hear your heart's cry to choose Jesus in a world full of lies and deceit. It is only through Jesus that we can navigate this world and live a life that pleases God. As you have acknowledged, it is in Jesus' name that we pray and live, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Wilann who has expressed a desire to choose Jesus in a world full of lies and deceit. We ask that you open Wilann's heart and mind to the truth of the gospel, that Wilann may believe in Jesus Christ as the gospel says, For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 WEB. We pray that you guide Wilann away from the lies and deceit of this world. We have believed in him and have access to you the Father in his name John20:31; John 16:23 WEB. Help Wilann to trust in you and to follow Jesus closely. Give Wilann the strength to resist temptation 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB and to walk in the light of your truth. We ask the Holy Spirit to draw Wilann closer to Jesus, and have the guidance of the Holy Spirit as Jesus said, But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all things that I said to you. John 14:25-26 WEB.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Wilann, remember that choosing Jesus means turning away from sin and following Him whole-heartedly. His love is immeasurable and once lived for Jesus, absolutely nothing will quench your thirst more than his living water. God desires us to seek Him and walk in His ways. But seek first Gods kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33 We encourage you to stay strong in your faith and to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith Hebrews 12:2 WEB. As followers of Christ, we submit to the Lordship of Jesus, acknowledging we are not our own for we were bought with a price. We are a new creature in Christ and the old has pasted away and behold all is new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB. We must ask the Holy Spirit to draw us close to God being conformed to the image of the Son as Romans 8:28-29 WEB says, we know that all things work together for good (in all things God works for the good) for those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For whom he foreknew, (for those whom he had foreknowledge of) he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
In a world full with lies and deceit that will continue to try to lure you back, God is faithful and He will complete the work he began in you Philippians 1:6 WEB. The battle is not yours, but the Lord's and as children of God, let us be alert, that our enemy the devil, it, which is prowling like a roaring lion, seeking anyone to devour must be resisted! 1 Peter 5:8-9 WEB. Keep praying, reading His Word daily, be committed as we encourage you to join in believers fellowship.
