- HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR -
A salvation prayer, known by many Christians as a "Sinners Prayer," is a prayer one would say to repent from sin, ask God for forgiveness, confess belief in Jesus Christ, and accept him as Lord and Savior. Saying a salvation prayer is the first step in your personal relationship with God.
If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way of salvation, but you have not taken the step to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and he will save you. If you feel lost and don’t know what to pray, here’s a salvation prayer that you can follow:
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 only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me.
I believe that You died on the cross for me to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to You now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to You. From this day forward, help me to live every day for You and in a way that pleases You.
I love you, Lord, and I thank You that I will spend all eternity with You.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!:))
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make—one that will change your life forever!

~ WHEN OUR FAITH WAVERS ~
- James 1:2-8 -
We all experience variation in the strength of our faith. If all is well, we feel confident that the Lord is trustworthy, because we see His blessings all around us. But when troubles increase, so do our doubts about God's faithfulness. We start to wonder whether He will ever answer our prayers for deliverance. As hard as we try, we can't see Him working in the situation. And as our trials drag on, we begin to lose hope in God and may start looking for more reasonable ways to resolve the matter ourselves.
James points us to a different perspective. Instead of thinking that the Lord has forgotten about us, he reminds us of God's divine purposes for our hardships. They test our faith in order to produce endurance and maturity. Our Father isn't trying to break us; rather, He wants to grow us and provide what is lacking in our spiritual life.
What we really need in our trials is wisdom, and that is exactly what James 1:5 tells us to request from Him. Instead of focusing on the circumstances and letting feelings overcome our faith, we must shift our thoughts to the Lord and confidently believe He'll give us the wisdom we need, both to handle the situation and to grow from it.
Giving in to doubts is dangerous, as it could develop into a lifestyle of spiritual uncertainty in which we're "driven and tossed by the wind" (James 1:6). When we handle our misgivings in this way, we'll often make wrong decisions that are costly. How much better it would be to anchor ourselves to the Lord and His Word and ride out the storm in peaceful assurance.

-Reflect & Pray -
There's no fear in Love. But perfect Love drives out fear, because fear has to
do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in Love.
-1 John 4: 18
Loving God, thank You for Your Love. Help us to trust in and follow Your Light and Love even when the way gets dark.
~O~
~Prayer Of The Day-
-Lord Jesus, as You sat looking over Jerusalem, You wept.
Give me the same compassion for those who have not accepted Your remedy and been Born Again.
~Today's Reflection~
-Salvation is for today, SEEK THE LORD while He may be found. No one is promised tomorrow.
- Bless is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.
-Jeremiah 17:7
