Listen to a humble sinner's prayer.

[Jesus_is_Saint]

LORD,
I am a powerless sinner.
I am nothing but a depraved sinner.
I sin since I was born.
I had done very little good.
I am greedy, jealous, bad-tempered etc.
I know that I am wrong, I cry in my heart, "God, please forgive me and save me".
I need Jesus Christ, I need Him to pay for me the price of sin and death.
I confess my sin.
I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior, He is Son of God, He died for me, and rose from death after 3 days. He is God.
I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I want to be saved.
I need God's Grace.
I can't do anything to save myself.
I can only Accept Christ and let Him save me.
Amen.

Is this prayer acceptable to God?

 

[Greg J.]

It is theologically good. Personally, I would address it all to God, as you have in some parts, but not others ("I need God's grace.").

It is a good prayer for someone who wants to be saved. Some, but not all, of it is good for someone saved who is addressing sinful acts they've done. Less of it is good for someone saved who is not addressing specific sinful acts they've done.

A saved person who commits a specific sin must agree with God in their heart that they have sinned, and turn away from it with the power God provides (as best they can).

A saved person who is praying daily should remember that everything they do is tainted with sin, and they are saved by God's grace alone, but could also thankfully reaffirm who God has granted them to be as a new creation in Christ (who is not a sinner).

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

LORD,
please listen to my humble prayer,
I am always weak in my body and mind,
sometimes I can resist sinful desire but sometimes I just can't,
I do not know why?
For example, I cannot love everyone I met.
When people offended me, I felt angry and hate them.
But Jesus wants me to love my enemy.
LORD, I could not love my enemy.
When unbelievers mocked at my religion, they said that there is no God and Jesus is not God,
I feel very angry and curse them.
But Lord, You ask me not to curse people.
Lord, I am not able to follow every command of yours.
Sorry Lord, please forgive me.
In Jesus' precious name.
Amen.

 

[Greg J.]

It's pretty good. You might find it valuable to study Romans 7-8. Then study it again.

 

[Jesus_is_Saint]

LORD,
before I go to bed, please listen to my prayer.
I cannot be perfect in my deed and thinking,
I know what is right and wrong,
but I just can't score 100% in the Righteousness Examination,
LORD, if I score only 40%, I hope that you will give me the 60% through Jesus Christ to make it 100%.
LORD, this is not cheating, because you have paid the price for me.
It is You to make me perfect.
My Image of God is tainted by sin.
I can do good but not 100%.
I always fall short of 100%.
LORD, I am not certain of my future, I am very worried about tomorrow.
My job, my health, the security of my loved ones,
the world is uncertain, the economy may turn bad,
stock market may collapse, currency value may depreciate,
wars may break up anytime,
Zika virus is plaguing my country (Malaysia),
LORD, the devil is making every effort to devour us.
LORD, I am just vulnerable.
LORD, please protect me, protect my family.
Take away temptations and life-threatening threats from me.
LORD, may You spread your wings to protect me.
Pray in Jesus' precious name, with the guidance of Holy Spirit.
Amen.
