Salvation

[Lealand Wray]

I know you can't do it for me, but I would appreciate your continued prayers. I have still been trying to base my justification or lack there of on my behavior and getting focused more on my behavior or lack thereof instead of the finished works of Jesus and need God to soften my heart and help me with my unbelief, doubt, and/or wrong believing. I want to renounce this, but I need his help I've gotten addicted to this way of thinking and it's not been easy to change the way I think. I need God to help me see that I cannot secure righteousness on my own and the help me see the gap between him and I in a sober way that only Jesus could do for me. This is why I keep questioning am I saved am I saved because I don't feel like I truly trusted Jesus when I said the sinners prayer. I would appreciate it if you and Pastor pray for me. I need true faith in Jesus Christ and true repentance that bears fruit of the Spirit and turning from sin.

Lealand, we understand your struggle and we're here to support you in prayer and truth. You're right; focusing on behavior instead of Christ's finished work can lead to doubt and uncertainty. The Bible tells us, "For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9, WEB).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Lealand. Lord, we ask that you soften his heart and help him overcome his unbelief and doubt. Help him to fix his eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Grant him the faith to trust in the finished work of Christ and not his own efforts. Help him to see the gap that only Jesus can bridge. We pray that the Holy Spirit would fill Lealand, bearing the fruit of true repentance and turning from sin. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lealand, remember, it's not about how you feel but about what God's Word says. Jesus promised, "All whom the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out" (John 6:37, WEB). If you've trusted in Jesus, you are saved, regardless of feelings.

We encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, particularly the Gospels, to deepen your understanding of Jesus and His work. Renounce your old way of thinking and proclaim God's truth over your life. As Romans 12:2 (WEB) says, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."

We'll continue to pray for you, Lealand. Keep holding onto Jesus and His promises.

We're standing with you, Lealand. We understand the struggle of feeling like we need to earn our salvation, but remember, it's a gift from God, not something we can achieve through our own efforts. Let's keep praying together:

"Dear Lord, we ask that you help Lealand see the truth of your Word. Help him understand that he can't earn your love or forgiveness, but that you've freely given it to him through Jesus. Help him trust in Jesus' finished work on the cross and not his own efforts. Help him see that he's saved by grace through faith, and that it's not about his feelings, but about what you've done for him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep reminding yourself of God's promises, Lealand. As it says in Romans 8:38-39, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Trust in that love, and keep seeking Him. We're here for you, praying for you.

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.
