Move toward the one offering life and ask him for it

Keep your distance until you feel worthy enough

Admire the invitation but never answer it

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have resisted coming to you and have sinned against you. I cannot give myself life. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and come to you for the life only you can give. Be my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Come to the Source of Life

Lord, revive your Church where we have grown distant and unwilling to come near. Break our stubbornness, draw us back to yourself, and fill us with the life that only you can give. Make us a people who come eagerly to you and point others toward that life, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Bring Your Church Back to You

Name one place where you are holding back from the one who gives life, ask God to soften that resistance, and ask for one practical step toward him today.

Pray Through Resistance

Pray for someone who is resisting Christ, for honest conversation that opens a door, and for God to draw that person toward the life only he gives.

For Someone Who Is Holding Back

Give thanks for the life Jesus offers, for every time he has kept calling you toward himself, and for the grace that meets you even when you hesitate.

Thank You for Life in Christ

Lord, I confess the ways I have preferred distance, delay, and self-reliance. Give me a willing heart to come to you, and let your life shape my choices today, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

A Willing Heart
