Are you ready to receive salvation? Here’s a prayer you can pray. Please pray it out as loud as you are able.
Dear God in heaven,
I need to be saved today. I acknowledge that I have fallen short of your glory. I am a sinner. Please forgive every sin I have committed wilfully or by error.
I believe that Jesus gave His life for me so that I could be cleansed of all sin and made right in Your sight.
According to the gospel, Jesus died at the cross, was buried, but was raised from the dead. I believe this.
His resurrection made it possible for me to be saved. He paid the price of my sin. I repent of my old ways. I turn my back on sin and on the works of darkness.
I accept Jesus as my Lord and my Saviour. Come into my life. Save me. Heal me. Deliver me from darkness.
I accept Your offer of salvation by grace through faith. I yield myself to Your will from now on.
I believe I am saved from this day forward, and I will do everything in my capacity to follow Jesus, find a place of fellowship with other believers and serve You all the days of my life.
Thank you for saving me.
Congratulations. If you have prayed this prayer wholeheartedly today, you have been accepted by God into His family.
Next steps
Your next steps are to find a good evangelical local church near you and let them know that you have asked Jesus into your life and would like to be taught His ways. They will give you guidance.
Then you can ask them to baptise you in water at the nearest convenient time. This is also important to your progress. They will teach you on this. They will know what to do.
Buy yourself a good Bible that suits your needs, something like the New King James Version (NKJV), which I would recommend for its substance and plain English, although there are other similar translations.
Start reading the New Testament from the Gospel of John, then the other Gospels, then the Book of Acts onwards. You can also start to read the Psalms, Proverbs, and other parts of the Old Testament until you get into the flow of Bible reading. Study guides are invaluable, some with Apps. Olive Tree Bible App has a free version for smart devices, and is a tremendous aid.
Also, join a small group of like minded people who meet regularly within that church community where you can begin to develop friendships with other believers who will help you on your journey.
Let me know in the comments section if you have prayed the prayer.
God bless you on your journey.
