Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.Does he not leave the ninety nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home.

Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke15:4-7

Heavenly Father, I know that I'm a sinner; my heart aches from all my transgressions. I come to you now looking for mercy.  I believe that you love me and that you sent your Son, JESUS, so that I may obtain salvation. I believe that, right at this very moment, I am being washed from all my sins with the precious blood of JESUS. I accept the forgiveness that JESUS came to give me.

I believe that I have been born again and that I am now in Christ. I confess with my mouth that JESUS is Lord and believe in my heart that you raised Him from the dead.

From this moment on I am a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! Help me Father to live my life from now on just as you always wanted it to be. In JESUS' name, AMEN
