Let's begin by acknowledging that all things are possible through Jesus Christ who strengthens us. It's wonderful that you're taking the first step to reach out, and we are here to support you.
Firstly, we want to emphasize the importance of acknowledging Jesus Christ in our lives. It is only through His name that we have access to God, It is in His name that we receive salvation, As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? This is the first and most important step in your journey.
Now, let's address your need to start. We understand that taking the first step can often be the hardest, but remember what God said to Isaiah WEB 41:10: , " 'You are my servant; I have chosen you and not cast you away. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our fellow believer who is at a starting point. Lord, we ask that You give them the strength and courage to take that first step. Guide them in Your will, and help them to trust in You completely.
Lord, if they have not already done so, we pray that they would accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Open their heart to Your love and grace, and help them to understand the path to salvation.
Father, we also pray for clarity and direction. Show them the way they should go, and help them to take steps that align with Your word and Your will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be strong and courageous! God is with you and will never leave you nor forsake you . Stay rooted in His word, and remember that He is faithful to complete the good work He began in you .
In closing, meditate on this verse from Joshua 1:9 WEB: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go."
May God have all the glory in everything we think, say and do.
