Prayer of submission to God

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You as Your child purchased by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

You are the Lord of the universe and the Lord of my life. I submit my spirit, soul and body to You as an instrument of righteousness, a living sacrifice, that I may glorify You with my life.

I now ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I commit myself to the renewing of my mind in order to prove that Your will is good, perfect, and acceptable for me. All this I do in the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Heavenly Father, I honour You as my sovereign Lord. I acknowledge that You are always present with me. You are the only all-powerful and only wise God. You are kind and loving in all Your ways.

I love You and I thank You that I am united with Christ and spiritually alive in Him.

I choose not to love the world and I crucify the flesh and all its passions. I thank You for the life that I now have in Christ, and I ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may life my life free from sin. I declare my dependence upon You, and I take my stand against Satan and all his lying ways. I choose to believe truth and I refuse to be to be discouraged.

You are the God of all hope, and I am confident that You will meet my needs as I seek to live according to Your Word. I express with confidence that I can live a responsible life through Christ who strengthens me.

I now take my stand against Satan and command him and all his evil spirits to depart from me. I put on the whole armour of God. I submit my body as a living sacrifice and renew my mind by the living Word of God in order that I may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable, and perfect.

I ask these things in thee precious name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen.
