A sinner`s prayer is an evangelical term referring to any prayer of repentance, spoken or read by individuals who feel convicted of the presence of sin in their life and desire to form or renew a personal relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ. It is not intended as liturgical like a creed or a confiteor. It is intended to be an act of initial conversion to Christianity, and also may be prayed as an act of recommitment for those who are already believers in the faith. Often, at the end of a worship service, an evangelist will invite those desiring to "receive Christ" (become converted) to "repeat after me" the words of some form of a sinner`s prayer. It also is frequently found on printed “gospel” tracts, urging people to “repeat these words from the bottom of your heart”.
