Lord, Save me.

 I hear the urgency and the honesty in your prayer. "Lord, save me." This is the shortest, most powerful prayer in the Bible. It is the prayer Peter prayed when he was sinking in the water, and it is the prayer of every soul that realizes it cannot save itself.

The beautiful truth is that Jesus is never annoyed by this prayer. He never turns away the one who cries out to Him. In fact, He is already reaching out His hand.

"But when he saw [the effects of] the wind, he was frightened, and he began to sink, and he cried out, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him..." — Matthew 14:30-31 (AMP)

The Scripture That Promises Salvation:

Romans 10:13 (AMP) — "For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in prayer] will be saved.'"

Acts 4:12 (AMP) — "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among people by which we must be saved."

Psalm 34:17-18 (AMP) — "When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears and rescues them from all their distresses. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Matthew 1:21 (AMP) — "She will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The Lord is Salvation), for He will save His people from their sins."

Isaiah 43:2 (AMP) — "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you."

A Prayer of Salvation:

"Lord Jesus,

Save me.

I am sinking.

I am overwhelmed.

I am in need of a Savior.

I cannot save myself.

I cannot fix my own life.

I cannot clean up my own heart.

I cannot bear the weight of my own sin.

I cannot fight the battles that are too big for me.

So I cry out to You: Save me.

Save me from my sins.

Save me from my fears.

Save me from the darkness.

Save me from the enemy.

Save me from the storm.

Save me from despair.

Save me from myself.

I call upon Your name.

I put my trust in You.

I believe that You died for my sins.

I believe that You rose again.

I believe that You are the only way to the Father.

I believe that You are able to save me completely.

Reach out Your hand and catch me.

Pull me out of the deep waters.

Set my feet upon the Rock.

Put a new song in my mouth.

And let me live to praise You.

I am saved.

Not because I am worthy,

but because You are gracious.

Not because I have earned it,

but because You have given it.

Not because I am perfect,

but because You are faithful.

Thank You, Jesus.

For saving me.

In Your mighty name,

Amen."

What to Do After You Pray:

· Believe. Faith is the hand that receives the gift. Believe that He has heard you and saved you.

· Confess. If you have never done so, confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart, you will be saved.

· Thank Him. Gratitude is the natural response of a saved soul. Thank Him for what He has done.

· Find a Bible-believing church. You were not saved to walk alone. Find a community of believers to help you grow in your new life.

"Lord, save me."

He heard you.

He caught you.

You are safe in His arms.

Amen.
