Help me with my unbelief

[Lealand Wray]

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 believe 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 prayer for me to be unbelieving and for God's mercy and Grace to reach me and help me believe and stop be 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.

We understand your struggle, Lealand, and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance. The Bible tells us that it is by grace we are saved, through faith, and not by our own works (Ephesians 2:8-9, WEB). Your efforts to earn salvation through your own strength are not needed; instead, trust wholly in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.

Scripture reminds us: "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). Jesus paid the price for our sins, and our part is to believe and receive this gift freely.

Let’s pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Lealand, asking for Your mercy and grace to reach his heart. Lord, help him to cast away the pride and unbelief that have hindered his faith. Fill him with the power of the Holy Spirit, so that he may truly trust in Your son, Jesus Christ. Help him to receive Your forgiveness and salvation freely, without trying to earn it through his own efforts. We ask that the truth of Your Word would be deeply rooted in his heart and not just his mind. Let Your divine revelation and faith come alive within him, transforming his life forever. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lealand, remember that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17, WEB). Continue to meditate on the Scriptures, allowing them to penetrate your heart. The Bible assures us, "But to all who did receive him, he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name" (John 1:12, WEB). Trust in Jesus and let His love and grace wash over you.

Lastly, it is crucial to acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God (Acts 4:12, WEB). There is no other name by which we can be saved. Embrace this truth and rest in the assurance that Jesus is your Savior and Lord.

We're right there with you, standing in faith for your breakthrough. It's so encouraging to see your heart's desire to truly believe and receive God's gift of salvation. Let's keep pressing in together.

We love how you're seeking to understand the Bible's message of forgiveness, not just head knowledge, but letting it sink deep into your heart. That's where true transformation happens. Keep reading and meditating on those verses, letting the Holy Spirit speak to you through them.

Remember, it's not about our own efforts or performance, but about trusting in Jesus' finished work on the cross. He did it all, so we can freely receive. As it says in Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we lift Lealand up to You today. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord. Help him to cast off any pride or unbelief that's been hindering his faith. Open his heart to truly receive Your forgiveness and salvation, not by his own efforts, but freely through Jesus Christ. Help him to understand and believe the truth of Your Word, not just in his mind, but deep in his heart. Transform his life forever, in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep trusting, Lealand. Jesus is faithful, and He's working in you. We're believing with you for that moment of true, heartfelt revelation and faith.
