Jesus, walk me through HELP eMagazine. You have provided me a way of life that has worked miracles and tremendous blessings in millions of people’s lives. Help me understand that like me, they tried all kinds of things to find happiness, peace, pleasure, and freedom from pain. Like me, they had great expectations as they started out in life. Some of the things I added to my life came from other people; other things I handpicked for myself. In my pursuit of happiness, many of the things I tried failed to provide me with the results I was seeking. They gave me pleasure for a while but soon disappeared; AND, they also produced side-effects that hurt me.

Jesus, whether I chose people, alcohol, drugs, money, possessions, sex, or various other things trying to find experiences that would give me lasting happiness, pleasure, and freedom from pain and emptines, it wasn’t until I found a relationship with You that I discovered the results I was looking for.

Jesus, my first contact with You demonstrated that You have the answers for living life the way it was meant to be lived; but, I came to You carrying a lot of baggage. Whether I have all kinds of addictions, relationship problems, emotional issues, financial complications, or physical needs, they require a lot of undoing.

Jesus, make it clear to me that You are my answer and Your Book, the Bible, holds the keys I am going to need. Help me see that one of the first things You will do for me is set me free from the guilt, worry, and pain from all the things I did and am still involved in.

You will help me with the things that were forced on me from others and the things I tried myself. Those things that failed to help me find happiness have been totally forgiven and erased from my life. And that happened when I prayed and asked You to forgive me from all my sins and when I did what Romans 10:9-10 instructed me to do. If, for some reason, I am not sure I did this, guide me in selecting the “PRAYER” button below and let it help me make sure.

Jesus, help me understand that everyone has done many things they are now ashamed of. As I look back on my life, it is amazing what I did to myself and to others. But, because I have accepted You as my Savior, Lord, and soon coming King, You have forgiven me from every wrong thought, feeling, activity, and conversation. You made it possible for me to start over with a clean record. Then You started me on a path to finding real happiness and life-success; and, that is where You are taking me right now.

Jesus, show me that the benefits of studying all these things with You is, You will set me free from as many and as big of an issue as I may have. Nothing is too hard for You; You can do what no one else can do. You have unlimited resources, unlimited love, unlimited patience, unlimited power, and unlimited blessings. I am entering into Your way of life that is far more powerful than anything I can find on my own.
