A SINNER'S PRAYER

 

A SINNER’S PRAYER

Is. 59:1-2 Listen! The LORD is not too weak to save you, and he is not becoming deaf. He can hear you when you call. But there is a problem---your sins have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore. NLT

Hear me now! The Lord is not too weak to save you! There is no sin beyond the Lord’s ability to forgive. No, not one!! No matter what you have been told or think, if you are not saved today, the Lord can do it for you. If you admit your sins to Him, take responsibility for them, ask him to forgive you, and believe that He has done it, you will become a child of God. If you call on Him, He will hear you

However, if you continue to hang onto your sin, the Lord will not help you. Sin keeps us away from God. It is our enemy and cuts us off from God. Sin keeps God away from us and prevents Him from hearing us when we pray. The only sinner’s prayer that God can answer is that of confession and repentance.

If you are living or dabbling in sin, you have a choice to make. You will either choose to seek the Lord’s forgiveness, or you will push Him away. There is no room for both Christ and sin in your heart. The Lord will not stay around where sin rules the heart.

It’s not a matter of can God save you; He can save anyone. It’s a matter of are you willing to let Him save you? God is not willing that anyone be lost, dying in their sins, but He will not force His way into your heart. Only you can stop God from saving you. Please, do not delay. Open up your heart to Him today and you will find peace with God and eternal life with Him.

Lord, for anyone who may be reading this devotional today who has never turned to you for the forgiveness of their sins, I ask that You move them to turn to you right now. Lord, convict them of their sins, move them to confess them before you and seek your forgiveness. Lord, if they do, please forgive them and bring them into the fold of your love and grace. And Lord, if there are any believers reading this today who have unconfessed sins, please convict them of them and move them to repentance. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
