Submitting All to God

Submitting All

to God

Father, You are the Supreme Authority — a God of order.

You have instituted other authority structures that will

support healthy relationships and maintain harmony. It is my

decision to surrender my will to You, that I might find protection

and dwell in the secret place of the Most High.

Father, thank You for pastors and leaders of the church —

those who are submitted to You and are examples to the

congregation. I submit to the church elders (the ministers and

spiritual guides of the church) — [giving them due respect and

yielding to their counsel].

Lord, You know just how rebellious I have been. I ask Your

forgiveness for manipulating circumstances and people — for

trying to manipulate You to get my own way. May Your will be

done in my life, even as it is in heaven.

Father, when I feel that my life is spiraling out of control, I

bind my mind to the mind of Christ, and my emotions to the

control of the Holy Spirit. I loose my mind from obsessive

thought patterns that try to confuse me.

Obedience is far better than sacrifice. Father, You are much

more interested in my listening to You than in my offerings of

material things to You. Rebellion is as bad as the sin of witchcraft,

and stubbornness is as bad as worshiping idols. Forgive me for

practicing witchcraft and worshiping idols.

Father,You deserve honesty from the heart ; yes, utter sinceri ty

and truthfulness. Oh, g i ve me this wisdom . Sprinkle me with the

cleansing blood, and I shall be clean again.Wash me, and I shall be

whiter than snow. You have rescued me from the dom i n i on of

darkness and brought me into the Kingdom of the Son You love,

in Whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Lord, I want to follow You. I am putting aside my own

desires and conveniences. I yield my desires that are not in Your

plan for me. Even in the midst of my fear, I surrender and entrust

my future to You. I choose to take up my cross and follow You

[cleave steadfastly to You, conforming wholly to Your example in

living and, if need be, in dying also]. I desire to lose my [lower life]

on Your account that I might find it [the higher life].

Father, You gave Jesus to be my Example. He has returned to

You, Father, and has sent the Holy Spirit to be my Helper and

Guide. In this world there are temptations, trials, and tribulations;

but Jesus has overcome the world, and I am of good cheer.

Jesus is my Lord. I choose to become His servant. He calls

me His friend.

Lord, help me to walk through the process of surrendering

my all to You. I exchange rebellion and stubbornness for a willing

and obedient heart. When I refuse to listen, anoint my ears to

hear; when I am blinded by my own desires, open my eyes to see.

I belong to Jesus Christ, the Anointed One, Who breaks

down and destroys every yoke of bondage. In His name and in

obedience to Your will, Father, I submit to the control and

direction of the Holy Spirit Whom You have sent to live in me. I

am Your child. All to You I surrender. I am an overcomer by the

blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony!

In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
