If after reading these reflections, you believe your soul has drank deeply from the well of truth, we invite you to read the prayer of salvation below and initiate a relationship with God, the creator of heaven and earth.
Prayer of Salvation
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I believe that you did what I could not do for myself. You died on the cross for me, taking my sins upon your body, to save me. I believe that you were raised from the dead and now live. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, I give it to you. Help me tolive every day in a way that pleases you. I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you.
