There is HOPE for you...!
The Plan - Whatever situation you are in, there is HOPE!
God Loves you, God created you and God has a plan for your life.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"I am come that they may have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10.10
The problem is most people don't have this peace and abundant life God wants us to have. This leaves us with a question - Why not?
The Problem - Whatever you have done, there is HOPE!
God created us to be in relationship with Him. It's only through knowing, and being in relationship with God that we can know and experience the abundant life God wants for us.
However, God didn't make us robots, he gave us free-will and the ability to choose. The Bible says that all of us have chosen to disobey God and live our lives our own way. The result of this is that we are separated from God because of our Sin.
"Your iniquities have separated you from your God" Isaiah 59 :2
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 6:23
There is nothing we can do ourselves to change the situation. Many try, by trying to lead a ''good life'' - but even going to Church or reading the Bible doesn't make you a Christian any more than sitting in your garage turns you into a Car.

The Penalty - Whatever you have done, there is HOPE!
If someone commits a crime and is caught we would expect them to have to pay the penalty for their crime.
We cannot pay the penalty for our Sin against God - that's why Jesus came, died on a Cross and rose again. Jesus paid the penalty for our sin so that we can come back to God and enter into a relationship with Him.
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 2:5
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God" 1 Peter 3:18
"But God demonstrates his own love toward us in that, While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8
"I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father, except through me" - Jesus Christ John 14:6

The Provision - Whoever you are, there is HOPE!
To receive forgiveness of our sins and to be able to enter into that abundant life, we must chose to follow Christ - trust Him as our Lord and Saviour.
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on his name" John 1:12
"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" Romans 10:9
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Acts 3:19
What about YOU- have you trusted Jesus Christ? - If not why do it now?...
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". Romans 10:13
These steps will help you:
1.Admit you have a need (I am a sinner).
2.Be willing to turn from your own way (the Bible calls this "repentance")
3.Believe in Jesus Christ as your risen Saviour, believing that He is Almighty God - God the Son.
4.Confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
What to pray..
Lord Jesus Christ,
I come to you because I am a sinner.
I am sorry for my sin.
I turn from my sin and I turn to you.
I believe that you died on the cross for my sins.
I believe that you shed your precious blood for me.
I believe in my heart that you rose from the dead.
I receive you as my Saviour.
I confess that you are my Lord and my God.
Thank you, Lord, for saving me.
Amen
If you prayed that prayer out of a sincere heart you now belong to the worldwide family of God. In receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. The Bible calls this being "Born again".
