Father, I pray if there be anyone out there today that is just feeling hopeless, they're struggling, they just need help they pray a prayer like this... Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I ask you, Lord, to come into my life and save my soul. I repent of my sins and I recognize that you died on the cross so that I could be forgiven in Jesus' name and blood. Amen
