A longer prayer, if you want to give your life to Jesus
Jesus, in faith I come to you now.
Thank you that you know me and love me.
I believe that you died on the cross for my sins too, and that you rose again and are alive.
Until now I have run my own life. I have sinned against you and against other people. Please forgive me all my guilt.
I give you my life – body, soul and spirit, my past, my present and my future.
I want to belong to you.
Come into my life and give me the Holy Spirit.
Make me a child of God.
Be the Lord of my life.
Lead me and change me the way you want me to be.
Thank you, my Lord and my God.
Amen.
