Prayer For Salvation
"Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You
for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my
life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for
forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life.
Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of
person You want me to be."
