May they confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead. May they be born again into Your family and become Your children. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

This prayer is based on Romans 10:9-10, which declares that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved; for with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
