What Is A Prayer of Repentance? When people are meeting God for the first time, they often don't know what to say to Him. This is why many Christian churches, groups, and organizations like to develop a sample prayer for interested people to use. I think this is a mistake. It makes salvation a group process rather than a personal communion with a holy God. If you are ready to meet God then you are aware He already knows everything you have done. He is God. More than anything else, He wants to know what you hold in your heart. If you pray in your own words, your heart will flow and both of you will discover what lies within. We are not saved by a social prayer uttered to appease an audience we fear. We are saved when God's Truth reaches our heart and we meet Him on HIS terms. In grasping Christ's great sacrifice for us, nothing but the deepest emotions can come from a truly repentant heart. Don't waste your time pretending to kneel at the foot of the Cross. It won't do you any good. God searches the utmost depths of our heart and we are saved only when His Truth takes up residence there.
