DEAR ALMIGHTY GOD, I KNOW AND ACCEPT THAT YOU CREATED ME AND THAT, EVER SINCE THE KINGDOM OF GOD TRULY BEGUN TO BE PREACHED, HUMAN BEINGS EVERYWHERE HAVE PRESSED INTO IT, BECAUSE OUR SPIRITUALLY BLIND EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED BY YOU, IN YOUR GOODNESS AND MERCY TOWARDS US, YOUR MOST BELOVED CREATION. I HAVE ALWAYS DESIRED TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH THE GOODNESS THAT IS THE HALLMARK OF YOUR KINGDOM. IN THE PAST HOWEVER, I HAD NOT CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT WAS THAT YOU WERE OFFERING ME, BUT THROUGH YOUR MERCY AND LOVING-KINDNESS, YOU NEVERTHELESS HAVE CONTINUED TO EXTEND YOUR HAND TO INVITE, WELCOME AND ACCEPT ME IN MY IGNORANCE, BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST, YOUR DEAR SON, HAS PAID THE PRICE FOR MY ACCEPTANCE BY YOU. UNTIL A SHORT TIME AGO, I BELIEVED THAT TO BE A GOOD PERSON, I HAD TO BE A DOER OF NICE DEEDS AND BE ASSOCIATED WITH ONE OR MORE GROUPS OF NICE PEOPLE, SO I CHOSE SOCIETIES AND RELIGION, IN THE HOPE THAT THIS WOULD MAKE ME PERFECT. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT, THIS IS NOT WHAT A LIVING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU IS ABOUT, BECAUSE THE NICENESS THAT WE CARRY INTO, OR GET FROM GROUPS, IS BASED ON OUR OWN MEASURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOODNESS. LORD, I NOW KNOW THAT, THIS NICENESS OF OURS IS AS A FILTHY RAG BEFORE YOUR EYES AND FALLS FAR SHORT OF THE ONLY TRUE GOODNESS THAT EXISTS, WHICH IS YOURS. I RENOUNCE AND DENOUNCE ALL SUCH SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS AND I FULLY ACCEPT YOUR CONCLUSION AND DECLARATION TO EVERY HUMAN BEING, THAT WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF YOUR GLORY. SO I NOW CONFESS THAT, I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU AND NOT KEPT MYSELF FROM EVERY INIQUITY. DEAR GOD, I AM TRULY SORRY FOR AND REPENT FROM MY SINS AND INIQUITY. PLEASE ALMIGHTY GOD, FORGIVE ME FOR MY IGNORANCE, STUBBORNESS, REBELLION AND EVERY OTHER SIN I HAVE COMMITTED, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN. CLEANSE ME NOW FROM ALL SIN AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, AND I NOW THANK YOU FOR THIS, AMEN. I TRULY AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO YOU LORD GOD FOR SENDING JESUS, YOUR GENUINE CHRIST, TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR ME AND TO PAY THE PRICE FOR MY TRESPASSES AND REDEMPTION. WITH GLADNESS, I RECEIVE ALL THAT JESUS ACCOMPLISHED ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY AND WHEN YOU RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD FOR MY SALVATION, AND I NOW WELCOME HIM INTO MY HEART TO BE MY LORD, MASTER AND SAVIOUR. FATHER GOD, I NOW CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD, MASTER AND SAVIOUR. LORD JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE BAPTIZE ME NOW WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.......pause.......; AND I THANK YOU FOR THIS AND MY BAPTISM INTO YOUR BODY, THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD HERE ON EARTH, AMEN. HEAVENLY FATHER, PLEASE TEACH ME TO REST IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH YOU HAVE NOW MADE AND GIVEN ME BY MY CONFESSED FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. I AM TIRED OF STRUGGLING TO BE A GOOD PERSON AND FAILING AT IT. FATHER GOD, HELP ME LEARN HOW TO STAND STILL: IN YOUR LOVE, IN THE GRACE OF MY LORD JESUS CHRIST AND IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM YOU HAVE NOW SENT TO ABIDE WITH AND DWELL IN ME, TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING ME AS MY HELPER, TO REALLY KNOW YOU, PRAISE AND WORSHIP YOU, AND TO PRAY ALWAYS. I COMMIT MYSELF TO FEED ON YOUR WRITTEN WORD DAILY AND I RECOGNISE THAT, AS SOON AS I LET THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD - THAT MY LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN YOU FATHER GOD - SINK DEEP INTO MY HEART, I WILL BE ABLE TO MASTER LIVING IN YOUR REST, AS A TRUE AND FULL-BLOODED CHRISTIAN. SO NO MORE FAILURES FOR ME AT TRYING TO BE GOOD AND NO MORE STRUGGLING, TO BE A MORE THAN OVERCOMING AND TRIUMPHANT CHRISTIAN. THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR MY SALVATION AND YOUR EVER PRESENT HELP, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.  Ask God now, to please lead and guide you to a nearby group of believers, or a local church of His, where you will receive support and encouragement in your faith.
