Read this article: The Sinners Prayer: The Unbiblical Component of Modern Evangelism.

"...God does not need your help to save anyone. Yes, He uses the preaching of the gospel to convert souls. But salvation is of the Lord. He doesn't need us to emotionally prep or prod lost people. He doesn't need us to make the gospel more palatable. He doesn't need us to add prize packages (Your best life now; health, wealth, and prosperity; a purpose you'll get a kick out of; mended relationships; etc.) to the gift of eternal life. In fact, I believe these kinds of "gospel helps" are an offense to God."

Good stuff. Worth your time to read the article and consider it.
