Miracle Prayer

Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your name I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give you my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever. I invite you into my life Jesus, I accept you as my Lord, God and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul and spirit. (Make your petition) Come Lord Jesus, cover me with your precious blood, and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I love you Lord Jesus, I praise you Jesus. I thank you Jesus. I shall follow you every day of my life. Amen. Mary my Mother, Queen of Peace, all the Angels and Saints please help me. Amen. P. A. R.
