Sinners Prayer

• Dear Lord Jesus,
• I know that I am a sinner. And I know that I
  cannot save myself. I turn away from my religion,
  from my good works, from anything good I have
  ever done and from anything good I will ever do.
  Apart from your mercy and grace, Lord Jesus
  Christ, I have no hope. I do believe you are the
  Son of God who died on the cross for my sins.
• Lord Jesus, right now I trust you and you
  alone for my salvation. I ask you to come into my
  life to be my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord
  Jesus, for taking my sins away. Amen.
