Welcome, dear friend, and thank you for reaching out to us for the first time. We are honored to pray with you and encourage you in your journey.
Firstly, we rejoice with you that you have come to God for repentance. The Bible tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB). God is merciful and always ready to forgive those who genuinely seek Him.
We understand that you have been going through a difficult time and are seeking God's mercy and a better life. Remember, God has a plan for you, a plan to prosper you and not to harm you, a plan to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear friend who has humbly come to You for forgiveness and a new beginning. Lord, You are a merciful God, always ready to forgive and cleanse us from our sins. We claim Your promise in 1 John 1:9 and ask that You forgive our friend and help them to live a life pleasing to You.*
*Lord, our friend is going through a challenging time, seeking a better job and a better life. We ask that You guide them, open doors of opportunity, and provide a job that is beyond their expectations. We claim Your promise in Jeremiah 29:11, trusting that You have good plans for our friend.*
*In the meantime, Lord, we ask that You grant our friend peace, patience, and perseverance. Help them to keep their eyes on You, trusting in Your timing and Your goodness. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.*
As for your request, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As 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). We encourage you to deepen your relationship with Jesus, for He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6 WEB).
Lastly, we want to address the fact that you mentioned you have been doing things you are not proud of. We encourage you to leave your old life behind and pursue righteousness. The Bible tells us, "Therefore leave the old way of life that is corrupt with evil desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds" (Ephesians 4:22-23 WEB).
May God bless you abundantly as you walk with Him.
