- HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR -
A salvation prayer, known by many Christians as a "Sinners Prayer," is a prayer one would say to repent from sin, ask God for forgiveness, confess belief in Jesus Christ, and accept him as Lord and Savior. Saying a salvation prayer is the first step in your personal relationship with God.
If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way of salvation, but you have not taken the step to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and he will save you. If you feel lost and don’t know what to pray, here’s a salvation prayer that you can follow:
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me.
I believe that You died on the cross for me to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to You now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to You. From this day forward, help me to live every day for You and in a way that pleases You.
I love you, Lord, and I thank You that I will spend all eternity with You.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!:))
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make—one that will change your life forever!

~WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING? ~
- 1 Peter 4:12-19 -
At some point, you've probably been asked why a loving God would allow suffering in the world. Though He is able to stop it, He often doesn't. And while we can acknowledge seeing Him at work during certain difficult situations, at other times it looks as if nothing is happening despite our many prayers.
We live in a sinful world, so the potential for anguish is great. Sometimes we're troubled when people are driven by the evil within. Other times the cause is our own weakness or God's discipline in our life. Still another reason might be persecution or simply the consequence of ignoring good principles. But whatever the origin of our distress, we can be sure that if God allows it, He has a purpose. He may want ...
To get our attention. The psalmist realized affliction brought him back within God's will (Psalm 119:67; Psalm 119:71). In times of distress, we often turn to Him for help.
To develop personal righteousness in us. God wants us to mature, so He will reveal areas of our life that we need to address.
To prune us. John 15:1-2 paints an excellent word picture of how God eliminates attitudes and actions that are not godly or fruit-bearing.
To teach us obedience. Jesus, who always did the Father's will, is our perfect example (John 4:34; Heb. 5:7-9). As we are conformed to His image, we will increasingly learn to obey God (Rom. 8:29).
Over the next two days, we'll look at other reasons God may allow painful seasons in our life. Until then, ask Him to show you how He may be using suffering for your good.

-Reflect & Pray -
There's no fear in Love. But perfect Love drives out fear, because fear has to
do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in Love.
-1 John 4: 18
Loving God, thank You for Your Love. Help us to trust in and follow Your Light and Love even when the way gets dark.
~O~
~Prayer Of The Day-
-Lord Jesus, as You sat looking over Jerusalem, You wept.
Give me the same compassion for those who have not accepted Your remedy and been born again.
~Today's Reflection~
-Salvation is for today, SEEK THE LORD while He may be found. No one is promised tomorrow.
- Bless is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.
-Jeremiah 17:7
