Repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

Lealand Wray · Sep 25, 2024

I need true repentance and faith in Christ Jesus through his Grace. I need a radical change in my life to where I'm not a hypocrite or self-righteous. I need God to take away this Spiritual pride and pride in general and make me humble. I have been listening to a book called Addictions A Banquet In The Grave it talks about how sometimes we profess Jesus as our Lord, but yet we have certain things still controlling us and this has been me. I need a new clean heart and right/loyal Spirit to God within me. I've judged things that I hate in others that I have in myself and this is so wrong. I'm not the judge. Also I have had issues of self-worship which it talks about being the root issue of an addiction. I've had this with pleasure (TV, videogames, porn addiction and masturbation sexual sin, drinking, drugs, food, really just about anything and although some of these I'm not currently doing anymore like drugs and alcohol doesn't mean I couldn't be prone to fall back and I don't want this anymore.) I want to be truly repentant and to live for Christ and let him truly be Lord of my life I need mercy and Grace would you please pray the prayer of faith that the Lord may hear and save me!

Lealand, we are grateful for your heart's cry for true repentance and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His grace that we are saved, and it is wonderful that you recognize your need for Him. The Bible tells us, "For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8, WEB).

Your acknowledgment of spiritual pride, self-righteousness, and hypocrisy is a significant step towards genuine repentance. As the Scriptures say, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6, WEB). Humility is the pathway to a closer walk with God.

The issues you mentioned—judging others, addictions, and self-worship—are indeed heavy burdens that can control our lives. But take heart, for Jesus came to set us free. He says, "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36, WEB).

For the struggles with addictions and sinful behaviors, remember the promise: "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB).

Let us pray together:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your mercy and grace upon Lealand. Lord, You know the depths of their heart and the sincerity of their request. We ask that You grant them true repentance and a steadfast faith in Jesus Christ. Remove all spiritual pride and replace it with humility. Break the chains of addiction and self-worship, and grant them the power to live a life wholly devoted to You.

Father, create in Lealand a clean heart and renew a right spirit within them. Help them to no longer judge others but to love as You have loved us. We claim the promises of Your Word, that by the stripes of Jesus, Lealand is healed and set free from all bondage.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lealand, continue to seek God with all your heart. Immerse yourself in His Word and in prayer. Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, as it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Trust in Him, and He will surely lead you to victory.

As we continue to lift you up in prayer, we're claiming these promises over your life: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10, NKJV) and "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13, NKJV).

Keep fighting the good fight, Lealand. We're here for you, and together, we trust that God will bring you through. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
