Prayer for Baptism: Prayer for Rebirth!

Witnessing baptism at a young age probably brought a lot of questions into the child's mind. For example, why does the priest pour water into a person's or an infant's head?

Why do priests do this? Mind-boggling if you don't know the reason or the purpose of it.

Baptism is a sacred practice of cleansing or forgiveness of a person's sin or purification. Also, it represents one's confession and commitment of faith and devotion to God.

Water is a physical symbol used to wash away a person's sin, believed to be your ticket to salvation. Rebirth and cleansing are a clear representation of these spiritual practices.

Based on traditions, people have different ways of executing the practices. For example, some give baptism to an infant.

Others choose baptism after committing to faith with God. But most important is your intention of why you want to do it.

How many of you believe the Lord hears every prayer? That's right, and God can always listen to you wherever you are.

Prayer is a powerful way to have an intimate conversation with God. Therefore, it is encouraging to seek God's blessing before and after the ceremony.

This article will provide suitable prayers based on the occasions practiced.  

Remember to surrender to God's guidance and repent of your sins before the ceremony. Praying and fasting are one of the best practices to do before baptism. 

Prayer for Baptism of the Holy Spirit 

Faith is the ultimate strength one can hold. Nothing is impossible with a person who believes in the power of the holy spirit.

Salvation comes to those who trust and surrender to the holiness of God. It is a declaration of devotion, faith, and forgiveness of sins.

It is a sacred practice of removing one's sin to immerse into the power of the spirit. The believer and holy nature of the Lord will come in oneness in this process.  

These experiences are truly magical and beyond words. But, although it's free, it's not for everyone, as it requires a soul with complete surrender. 

Submit fully and prepare your heart and soul for this. Give yourself no other choice but to trust without doubts or fear.

Accept God as your savior. Ask the Holy Spirit to dwell upon you.

Have that certainty that when you ask, then you will receive. Once your vessel is ready, you will experience its gifts and miracles. 

Your ability to trust in something unseen and beyond yourself is the primary key to it. Faith is empowering and moving.

Put it into action. If you sincerely desire to receive the baptism of the holy spirit within you.

Put yourself in the presence of the Lord and pray this prayer with the deepest sincerity.  

Our Heavenly Father,  

I praise you with all of my heart.  

I glorify you for all your blessings. 

I come to you with complete surrender to your holiness.  

I acknowledge you as my own true God and savior.
