Praying you have a hope filled, peaceful and blessed Christmas and know that you are valued and loved. Our team and the churches in Offaly are praying for you and ready to welcome you when you visit.

Making room for God

If you would like to reconnect with God now, it starts with communicating & acknowledging your need for him. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent) and ask for God's forgiveness. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit.

 

You can pray a prayer like this one: 

"Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my life and to take control. I want to trust Jesus as my Saviour and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. Thank you for depositing your Holy Spirit in me now, as a comfort, helper, teacher and friend. I commit to walk in your ways. In Jesus' Name I pray, amen."

If you prayed this prayer today or at one of the Joy To The World Christmas Events we would love to hear from you.
