Humble Prayer Partner
I've been struggling to 'believe' and freely receive the gospel and the free forgiveness of sins through the Lord Jesus Christ and feel like I've been trying to earn it by 'repenting' turning away from sin because I have been so performance-based. I feel like I've been blinded and/or foolish because I can't do any of this in my own strength, but have let some religious Spirit or something try to keep convincing me I can. I just pray that I would throw this pride and foolish belief that I can do anything apart from Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit away and just believe in Him. I ask that you all would pray for me to be unbelieving and for God's mercy and Grace to reach me and help me believe and stop being unbelieving and to just truly trust Jesus. I am reading Bible verses about forgiveness and trying to get them into my heart and not just have head knowledge. I need God's help there for true revelation and for faith in my heart towards God and Jesus and that I could just freely receive Salvation and the Holy Spirit and my life would be forever changed instead of trying to earn anymore.

Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. Bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, and Your righteousness. Help and strengthen me God to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
