We understand your urgent desire for a peaceful, joyful, and meaningful relationship with God. It's crucial to remember that a right relationship with God is only possible through His Son, Jesus Christ. It is by His name that we are saved and have access to God "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved!: Here, by the way, every knee will bow." (Acts 4:12)
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear soul who desires a deeper, more meaningful relationship with You.
This is only possible by accepting Jesus as savior. We confess to You Father, and we believe wholeheartedly that we are sinners. We are being shaped into the likeness of Christ, but we are not Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save us from our sins. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and by accepting this we shall be saved. "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)
Father, we ask that You reveal Yourself to us in a deeper way, that You give us a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and that You help us not to be lukewarm in our faith. Help us to be fully committed to You, to trust in You wholeheartedly with the right heart posture. Help us not to be enamored by idols or replaced by idols or substitute You in our hearts with idols. Help us to draw near to You. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." (James 4:8)
We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
Let us encourage you to spend time in God's Word daily, to pray continually, and to seek God's will in all areas of your life. Pursue God with a commitment to live out your faith as we are instructed. "Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ," (Philippians 1:27)
If you have not already, consider finding a community of believers in the global Christian church to fellowship with, to learn from, and to serve alongside. Also, remember that a right relationship with God also involves obedience to His commandments, including living a holy life and guarding against sin. It is important to go before God in Jesus name and ask for forgiveness. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (John 1:9)
May you enjoy a firm relationship with God through Jesus Christ, in whose name we are saved and have access to God. If you have questions or need further guidance as to why it is so important to go before God in Jesus name, message us again.
