For those who want to receive Jesus Christ please repeat after me:

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you as your lovely child, I know I sinned against you. I am unworthy to come before you, accept me my Lord and wash me. Forgive my sins and help me to not go back again. In Jesus name, I have prayed! Amen

Heavenly Father, God of Abraham, God of Jacob, help all of us to cultivate a mutual respect towards our kids and kids also to do the same to their parents in Jesus Christ name I prayed. Amen!
