Jesus Came To Save The Lost

“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” (Mathew 18:12-14).
The Lord Jesus Christ loves sinners. He is the Good Shepherd who came to give us His life. 
He said in the Gospel of John, chapter ten, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” (John 10:10-11).
He came to save the lost. He left the ninety-nine in the wilderness and went searching for the lost, and when He finds him there will be great joy in heaven more than the ninety-nine who do not need repentance. 
When we feel that Jesus does not hear our prayers, we have to check ourselves and our relationship with Him.
He does not answer our prayers not because He sees us sinners but because sin hinders our way to God. We are the ones who do not talk to Him. 
We are rejecting His ways and doubting them. 
We see that our ways and the world’s wisdom and ways are more logical and profitable than His ways. 
So the problem lies in the barriers and restrictions that Satan, society, and the wrong legacies have placed between us and Him. Because of all these barriers, we cannot know Him, communicate with Him, or hear His voice.
Therefore, we must start from the correct starting point, which is the knowledge of God. 

First, we must read the Gospel and know who God is.  
He sent His only-begotten Son, took a flesh, our flesh, to conquer our enemy, Satan, who came to steal, kill, and destroy us. 
Jesus  is our creator.
who created us in His image and likeness. He said in the Gospel of John, chapter ten, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10).
Start communicating with Him, accept Him as our savior and receive Him in the Holy Spirit. 
The Holy Spirit will start His work in us, cleansing and sanctifying us gradually. 
The enlightenment of the Holy Spirit will discern all the sins dwelling in us, and we will start the repentance process. 
Confessing sin and resisting all the evil desires and lusts of the world will lead to communicating and building a relationship with Him. As soon as we receive Him, we will receive His comfort, His peace, and His love. 
The last step is surrendering our life and submitting our free will to Him. 
Jesus said if we asked Him for anything with faith according to His will, He would do it for us. 
We read this in the Gospel of Mathew, chapter twenty-one, “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”(Mathew21:22).  
Amen.
