How to find hope for Your Life...

Believe God made me to love Him and to live for His purposes. “Everything got started in God and finds its purpose in him.” Colossians 1:16 (Msg)


Admit I’ve lived for myself, then accept God’s free forgiveness which was paid by Jesus.

"We’re all like sheep who’ve wandered off and gotten lost. We’ve all done our own thing, gone our own way. But God has piled all our sins, everything we’ve done wrong, on him (Jesus).” Isaiah 53:6 (Msg)


Switch to living for God’s purposes in my life.

“Give yourselves to God…and surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes.” Romans 6:13 (TEV)

Express my desire for Jesus to be the Lord (leader) of my life.

“It makes no difference who you are or where you’re from – if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open.” Acts 10:35 (Msg)

A simple prayer you can pray:

“Dear God, I believe You love me and made me for Your purposes. I’m sorry I’ve lived for myself. I ask for Your forgiveness. Thank You for sending Jesus to pay for my sins. I invite Jesus to be the Lord of my life. Help me to learn to trust You and live for Your purposes. Thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life. Amen.”
