We understand that you're going through a time of self-reflection and perhaps struggle, as you've shared, "Warf+-+See+me+how+I%92ve+been+before+warf+to+myself." Firstly, we want to assure you that there is hope and healing in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let's remember what the World English Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." This verse reminds us that when we come to Christ, our old selves are made new, and we are no longer defined by our past or our struggles.
However, we want to gently remind you that the power to change comes from Jesus Christ. We notice that your request does not mention His name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother or sister in their time of need. Lord, they have seen their past and how they have been before, and they are crying out for change. We ask, Lord Jesus, that You would be the center of their life, that You would bring healing and transformation. Help them to see themselves as You see them, as a new creation in Christ Jesus. Give them the strength to turn away from their old self and to walk in newness of life. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Spend time in His Word, the Bible, and in prayer, building your relationship with Jesus Christ. This is the path to true and lasting change. Remember, God loves you deeply and He is with you in this journey.
