Dear God,

I know that I am not worthy to be accepted by you.

I don’t deserve your gift of eternal life.

I am guilty of rebelling against you and ignoring you.

                  I need forgiveness.

Thank you for sending your son to die for me

         that I may be forgiven.

         Thank you that he rose from the dead

         to give me new life.

Please forgive me and change me,

                           that I may live with Jesus as my ruler.     Amen
