Prayer for backsliders

So, you have turned away from the Lord, and it doesn't matter what you do, you cannot fill that void in your life.  Maybe you have tried everything including sex, drugs, alcohol, friends, etc. but nothing seems to fill that emptiness on the inside of you. You live every day with a deep conviction that you must return to the Lord and serve Him.  You are not reading this by chance, God is calling you back into fellowship with Him, and He wants to restore you.  The Lord has a great plan and purpose for your life!  You don’t have to continue to live in sin. Today, God will set you free!  Pray this simple prayer and recommit your life to Jesus Christ.

 

Heavenly Father, today I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son.  Please forgive me for all my sins.  I repent for turning my back on You.  I am sorry for grieving the Holy Spirit. 

 

Wash me with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.  Wash away all my sins!  Cleanse me thoroughly from all unrighteousness.  Today, I turn my back on the devil.  I renounce the world and I renounce sin.  Remove every evil desire from my life.  Let my flesh be crucified. 

 

I pray that You fill me once again with Your Holy Presence and let Your Holy Spirit abide in me.  Oh Lord, I surrender to You.  I declare that I do not belong to myself, but I am all Yours.  I will serve You all the days of my life.  I will live for You and I will do Your holy will. 

 

Today, I return to Your Word and prayer.  I will walk in obedience to You, oh God!  Let my life be a testimony for Your kingdom.  Teach me Your ways, oh Lord.  Send the right people into my life to help me in my walk with You. 

 

Thank You, Lord, for accepting me!  Thank You, Lord, for freedom and forgiveness!  I love You with all my heart and I am all Yours.  Use me for Your honor and glory, in Jesus’ name! Amen!
