Receiving Christ:
Would you pray this prayer with me right now and surrender your life to Christ to be the Master of it?
“Dear Jesus, I believe You have a good plan for my life: But I’ve missed that plan by making my own decisions. I’ve been wrong. This life is rightfully Yours; I’m surrendering it to You right now. I believe You died and rose again so I could be forgiven of all my sin. Please take over this life and use it any way You want from this day on. Thank You for coming into my heart. In Jesus’ Name; Amen.”
