We rejoice with you as you have taken the crucial step of surrender to God, for it is in Him that we live, move, and have our being. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. The Bible tells us, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). This is so powerful because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Without access to God through Jesus, we can't be saved. It is only through believing and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and putting our trust and faith in him and the blood he shed on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins that we can be saved.
The act of surrender is a powerful one, as it acknowledges God's sovereignty over our lives. As we surrender and trust and obey, we can take comfort knowing that He has not forsaken us. It is a beautiful thing that you are putting your trust in Him, just as Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) encourages us, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
In the midst of struggles, God is faithful to guide and strengthen us, Blessings1964. As children of God surrendered to Him, we do not need to be overcome by struggles, but trust in God as we look to Him for our strength and to face every challenges, ever thankful for the comfort and encouragement He gives us in His word. Remember the words of Paul in Philippians 4:13 (WEB), I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Jesus is the source of our strength.
Let us pray together for God's guidance to be more evident every day of your life. We will pray in the name of Jesus Christ Almighty. Dear Lord, we come to you in Jesus Christ's Almighty Name, lifting up our dear Blessings1964. We believe that You have a wonderful and perfect plan for their life. Please guide him in every decision and in everything he does. We ask, dear Lord, that You strengthen his heart so that not matter the struggles or the trials, he will always obey you, stand strong and prevail. Even when the way is uncertain, help him to trust in You, knowing that Your love and faithfulness never fail but guide and comfort us as your children.
We will also add our prayer request for Blessings1964 to our prayer list. Our ministry team is committed to ensuring that your needs are covered in prayer. We do this freely in love, just as Christ loved us and freely forgave us of our sins. He asks that we now go out to love and forgive others also, not as an obligation but out of love for our Savior. Remember the scripture at 1 John 4:19 we love Him, because He first loved us.
Since we have paraphrased the salvation message and have mentioned the name of Jesus and salvation is the most important step in the life of a child of God, giving the opportunity for life everlasting in heaven with God, our Father. We want to make sure this is clear and that you have not previously believed and confessed Christ as Lord and Savior. This moment of prayer, surrender, and trust is also the perfect opportunity to believe and accept Christ if you have not yet made that most important choice and commitment. If you have not believed and confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we would ask that you do so now or contact us with any questions or concerns you may have about the salvation or surrender to Jesus Christ.
