This is not a joke. It is very serious. I want to talk with you about the atheist’s prayer.
If you have doubts or questions, you owe it to yourself to learn whether or not God is real. Many people struggle with questions and doubts. You may be one of those people. It does not mean you are good or bad. It simply means you have questions. You are not alone. Many people before you have had questions.
Actually, shouldn’t we question the aspects of life which are most meaningful and important?
I gently and kindly request you look honestly at Jesus. Please put away any prejudice you have and take an unbiased look at the person of Jesus. If God does not exist, you will have wasted a minute or so reading this. If God is real and if He has communicated with human beings through Jesus Christ, this is the most urgent item in the world and in comparison nothing else really matters.
Please consider praying the atheist’s or agnostic’s prayer. You can find this in many forms. The following is found in John Stott’s Basic Christianity, a book which I highly recommend to those who have questions about the person of Jesus.
The Atheist’s Prayer:
“God, if you exist (and I don’t know you do) and you can hear this prayer (and I don’t know if you can), I want to tell you I am an honest seeker after the truth. Show me if Jesus is your Son and the Savior of the world. And if you bring conviction to my mind I will trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord.”
God’s Word says: “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8).
God Himself says: “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
I recommend you read Stott’s book listed above. I also recommend you begin reading the Gospel of John in the New Testament. You can read all of John’s Gospel in about half an hour. Ask God to show you the truth and read it to see if it has “the ring of truth.”

You know every time I write or talk to you I try to let you know how appreciated you are. I think its really Important also for us to let u know. Every body gets busy and forgets to tell people there great and thank you. Your great,awesome,an amazing person and I know why God chose you. I am not sure if you realize but you saved a lot of peoples lives just now by bringing them to God. This is the safest place they can be. You also gave God the utmost respect by bringing them to his doorstep any closer u would have had to drop them off in heaven your self. I’m not sure if this brought me to tiers cause I’m going through the worse time in my Life or just because I know how great he is.Thank You Love Shantell P.S. My fortune cookie a minute ago says “Fear knocked at the door” cute huh. I tried to call you a few times call me when you can please!!!
