God answers your prayers.
The first step of faith

«For God so loved [your name] that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him [your name] should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn [your name], but that [your name] might be saved through Him.» (John 3:16-17)
«And now thus says the Lord, he who created you [your name] and formed you [your name]: Fear not, for I have redeemed [your name]; I have called [your name] by name; [your name] is mine» (Isaiah 43:1).
Our prayer for you
Jesus, we thank You for [your name]. Thank You that [your name] has surrendered his life to You, for the first time or renewed his covenant with You. Thank You Jesus that [your name] is now saved from sin, judgment, and death.
Lead [your name] on the path of faith to eternal life in heaven. Equip and renew [your name] along the way, to Your glory and to the encouragement and benefit of all of us Christians.
Jesus, You say, «Follow me!» Lead [your name] on Your path.
Amen!
Immanuel (God with us)

Some advice
1. Listen to what God says in the Bible, not what you feel.
The adversary of Christians, Satan, will try to make you believe that you are not saved. The evil one has had power over you before, but now you can defeat Satan.
Read Romans 8:31. Matthew 4:8-11. Galatians 2:20. Ephesians 6:10-11. 1 Peter 5:8-9.
2. Confess Jesus to your friends and family.
Don't be afraid! – Jesus is with you!
Read Luke 21:12-15 and Matthew 10:32.
3. Read the Bible every day.
You are now in God's family! Your Father God surrounds you with his great love. God speaks to you through the Bible. Start by reading, for example, the Gospel of John, then the other Gospels and the letters in the New Testament.
Make your own Bible reading plan. Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
4. Pray to God every day.
God is your heavenly Father. Father God is with you all the time.
Read Matthew 7,7-11. John 14,13-14. 1 John 5,14.
5. Forgive those who have wronged you.
God has forgiven you and will continue to forgive you. Stay away from anything that you perceive as sin. Should you fall into temptation, confess your sin to God, your Father, and receive His forgiveness. – Read Luke 11:4. 1 John 2:1-2.
6. Seek out Christian communities and churches.
Jesus will lead you to Christian sisters and brothers. In the Christian congregations, Jesus is in our midst, to strengthen us with His Word and through the Lord's Supper (the body and blood of Jesus).
Read Matthew 18:20. Romans 12:4-8. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.
7. Hold on to God's promises.
God promises to keep you and help you when you are tempted. Read Deuteronomy 31:6. 1 Cor 10,13. James 1:12.
He promises to be close to you every day. Read Psalm 145:18. Matthew 28:20.
