Have you ever felt as though something was missing in your life? Many people feel like this and try to fill the void in different ways. Some look for satisfaction in a relationship or by using drugs or alcohol. Others join a church or are baptized. But the only path to true, lasting peace and joy is through a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

When you accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord, God forgives everything you’ve done that didn’t please Him and gives you a new start. He fills the emptiness in your heart with His never-ending love. You become part of His family. And Jesus becomes to you a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Does this sound too good to be true? It’s not. God offers you this kind of relationship with Him through Jesus. You simply need to ask Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life. Just pray
this prayer:

God, I come to You in Jesus’ Name. I’m tired of having this emptiness in my heart. Nothing I’ve done has filled it. I admit that I am a sinner—that I haven’t lived right in Your sight—and I need help. I need a Savior.

The Bible says that everyone has sinned. We all fall short of Your glorious standard (Romans 3:23 New Living Translation). The Bible also says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9 English Standard Version). I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead. And I confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Therefore, according to Your Word, I am saved. Thank You for forgiving everything I’ve done that didn’t please You. Thank You for filling my heart with Your love! Thank You for giving me a new start with Jesus!
