We are grateful for your heartfelt request, SavedByGrace1283, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life. It is wonderful that you acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ and recognize His power to heal, guide, and forgive. As it is only by His name that we have access to God.
Firstly, let us address the issue of forgiveness. We are all sinners, separated from God by our disobedience. However, God, in His infinite love, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price for our sins. As it is written,
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
And,
but God shows his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 WEB
To receive forgiveness, we must repent of our sins, believe in Jesus Christ, and confess Him as our Lord and Savior. As you have acknowledged Jesus in your prayer, we trust that you have taken these steps. If not, we encourage you to do so now.
Let us pray for your healing and deliverance from afflictions. In the Bible, we are told,
Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
