    I pray just to be happy and be truly saved in Jesus name. I just want peace and to feel loved, and noticed. I just pray for days of fun and happiness with no issues in the name of Jesus.

    Dear Nai,

    Most of us can truly understand your desires in this prayer. We can be thankful for all of the days and times we have received blessings and have had this joy and peace and safety in our lives. But we all can admit that we have had times of deep grief, loss, hardships, pain, suffering, and a sense of everything going awry. These times test us and also tempt us to doubt God's love and promises to never leave us nor forsake us. He is intimately with us in these difficult times, upholding us with His grace and power to save us. He comforts us and gives up hope when things seem like they will not work out for good. He reminds us that our life truly is in Him and that our times are in His hands. I hope today you will know the great love of Jesus for you and be blessed by Him even if you are facing hard times. I will pray for you.

    Dear Heavenly Father, You are a good Father and the only one Who can order our days rightly and help us in our need. In the name of Jesus, we ask that You will bring Your peace, love, and joy to Nai tonight and daily. Raise Nai up in her faith in You. We ask that Your Spirit empowers Nai to be tenacious in believing in You and Your Son Jesus for salvation and all of the great blessings and promises You have revealed to us in Your Word. Spare Nai from troubles, LORD GOD, and help Nai overcome trials with strength and trust that comes from You. Amen.

    Dear Nai, Jesus didn't promise us a life without problems and struggles. He promised to be with us during our rough times. If you have been saved, you have been sealed and nothing can take that away from you. Have faith, Nai, and endure to the end. Those who have been saved bear the fruit of the Spirit: Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

    Love is the greatest fruit. You can have everything in the world, but if you do not have love, you have nothing.

    Jesus is the only way to be saved. Here are the instructions--

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.- Romans 10:9-13.

    If you have asked Him to forgive you and come into your heart, you are saved. Surrender to Him. Do His will. Pray, read and study His Word, bear witness of him, have faith.

    God bless you!
