​Salvation Prayer 

If you are tired of the anguish that results from doing things your way, Christ will free you if you will sincerely commit yourself to let Him have His way.  If you have never accepted Christ as your personal. Savior, your first need is to let God create you anew by giving you spiritual rebirth.  You can be born again if you can honestly pray like this:

“Heavenly Father, I have seen that I am a sinner, still in the life of Adam, and that I have committed sins.  I believe You sent Your only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die in my place for my sins.  I also believe He rose again and now lives, and right now I receive Him into my spirit as my Savior.  I surrender all that I am, all I have and all I shall be to You.  I turn from my sins and my selfish ways to live my new life in Christ.  Thank You for saving me.  Amen.”

Identification Prayer  

If you have prayed the ‘salvation prayer’, you have been born again, for God says He gives to all who believe in Christ the privilege of becoming His children (John 1:12).  Now, whether you prayed for salvation just now or in the past, praying an ‘identification prayer’ may help you to experience Christ’s life of victory and peace.  Before this prayer can be effective, you must be truly sick of your self-life; you must be under conviction by the Holy Spirit of trying to live the Christian life in your own strength, and you must be ready to give up control of your life.  If this is your condition, pray in this manner.

“Father, thank you for forgiving my sins and taking me out of the life of Adam and grafting me into the life of Christ.  Now that I am in Christ, I believe that I was crucified with Him, buried with Him, raised with Him and that I am seated with Him at Your right hand.  From this moment on, I choose to have Your Son, Jesus Christ, live His life in me and through me.  I consider myself dead to sin and alive to You, and I am counting on the Holy Spirit to make me aware when I forget my death with Christ and try to live His life for Him in my own human wisdom and energy.  I choose to yield my total being to You as an instrument of righteousness, allowing no part of me to be used for sin.  Thank you for making Christ and His life real to me.  Glorify Yourself through me.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.”
