Jesus,
I look unto You for salvation. I am scared. I don't know who I am in Christ. I can pray all I want and read the Bible as much as I can. I still have no idea what to do or say. It was as if I really didn't mean it. I have had this problem for a long time and I am asking for an answer from You. I need help, Lord. I wish I could just say with confidence that I am not lost. I ask that I will be assured that I am saved and not lost. I don't like feeling this way. It isn't based on what I watch on tv or what I see in movies. I have no real dilemmas about nor does it usually wake me up. However, it is based on reality so I know that I have an issue. I wonder if I were not saved would I have this problem. I also wonder if I had faith to begin with. If I did why do I keep asking for You to save me and give me the assurance of my salvation. I am not assured of my salvation. I strongly believe that Your word is true. All things were created by the Lord through You, Lord.
I may have said it wrong and I apologize. I hate my sins because I don't revel in them. I know that I am not perfected, but I often focus not just on being perfected, but I also focus on a ticket to Heaven. I don't want to focus on salvation being a ticket to Heaven. Yes, I want to go to Heaven, no doubt. I do want to spend time with You, but I want to be assured that I am the real deal because I was saved by the True God and that is You. I have been reading Your word online. Where does repentance fit into salvation? Where does baptism also fall into salvation? Where can I find information on things that are true and things that are not written in Your word? I admit that I have a lot to learn, but I also want to know for myself. I don't want to be deceived anymore than I don't want to have any mind of my own. You created us all to have our own opinions and to stand on our two feet. Lord, I need help in that area as well. My main problem to all of this is a lack of identity. Who am I in Christ Jesus? Who am I, period?
I ask this in Your name,
Amen
