Thank you, Jesus, for healing my soul.”

Faith Confession

“I will not be afraid, for God is with me.” – Isaiah 41:10

This faith confession is powerful for every new believer. Life can feel uncertain. You may have fears about your future, your family, or your walk with Christ. But God gives us this promise in His Word: You are not alone.

God is with you.
He holds your hand.
He walks before you and behind you.
He covers you with His love.

When fear tries to rise up, speak this confession out loud.
Say it boldly: I will not be afraid, for God is with me.”

This is a simple and strong new believer’s prayer that builds trust in God’s presence.

📖 Daily Bible Verse

Isaiah 43:2 – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”

God didn’t say we’ll never go through hard times. He said, “When you pass through the waters…” That means tough seasons will come, but we won’t face them alone.

For those who are new to faith, this is a comforting truth. Maybe you’re going through a struggle right now—emotionally, financially, or spiritually. But this verse reminds us:
God is in it with you.

He doesn’t step back when life gets rough.
He walks with you through the storm.
You will not drown.

Hold this verse close to your heart during your daily devotion. Let it remind you that no situation is too deep for God to rescue you from.

✝️ Gospel Verse

Revelation 3:20 – “Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

What a beautiful promise! Jesus is standing at the door of your heart.

Maybe you’ve just begun to open that door. Maybe you’re still unsure. But this verse tells us what Jesus desires—a personal relationship.

He’s not forcing His way in.
He’s gently knocking.
All you have to do is open your heart.

As a new Christian, this is your moment to say yes. Invite Jesus in, not just on Sundays, but every day. Let Him be part of your meals, your decisions, your thoughts, your dreams.

This is what praying for new believers looks like—welcoming Jesus to sit at the table of your life.

🙏 Prayer

My Lord Jesus,
Let my words and actions glorify You.
Help me to be kind, patient, and loving.
Teach me to trust You in everything I do.
When I feel weak, remind me that You are strong.
When I feel afraid, help me remember that You are with me.
Let my heart be full of Your peace.
Thank You for healing my soul, and for always being near.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

📜 The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13, NKJV)

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

This prayer is perfect for your daily bread—a spiritual meal to start your day. It teaches us how to speak to God with love and respect, to trust Him for our needs, and to live with a heart of forgiveness.
