The basic prayer of Christianity

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
