Praying a prayer, declaring that I believe in Jesus, began my relationship with God, my belonging to Jesus, and a life filled with joy. Since you also are called to belong to Jesus, I hope you prayed a prayer similar to: “God, I believe that Jesus is Lord, and I want Him to be my Lord. I believe in my heart that you raised him from the dead. Now I know through your Word that I am saved and will go to heaven and be with you. Thank you for loving me and being my Father.” Please let me know if you prayed this prayer or something similar. If you did, I want to stay in touch so that we can encourage each other! If you have prayed a similar prayer in the past, please encourage others by telling them how that prayer has changed your life! A couple days ago, my husband, Sam, remarked that I don’t worry. My faith, that has developed over the years through answered prayer, is the reason that I don’t worry and can live life with joy. I know I can count on God. (I am human. I worry occasionally when I forget to pray.)
