DEAR LORD JESUS,

We come to you today to be restored in you, to be renewed in you, to receive your love and your life and all the grace and mercy we so desperately need this day. We honor you as our Sovereign, and we surrender every aspect of our live totally and completely to you. We surrender to you our spirit, soul and body, our heart, mind and will. Cover us with your blood- our spirit, soul, and body; our heart, mind and will. We ask your Holy Spirit to restore us in you, renew us in you, and to lead us in this time of prayer. In all that we now pray, we stand in total agreement with your Spirit and by your Spirit alone. 

DEAR GOD, holy and victorious Trinity, you alone are worthy of all our worship, our heart’s devotion, our praise, our trust, and all the glory of our lives. We love you, we worship you, we trust you. We give ourselves over to you in our heart’s search for life. You alone are life, and you have become our life. We renounce all other gods and all idols, and we give you the place in our hearts and our lives that you truly deserve. We confess here and now  that this is all about you, GOD, and not about us.  

Forgive us for our sin, Search us and know us and reveal to us where you are working in our lives. Grant to us the grace of your healing and deliverance and a deep and true repentance. 

HEAVENLY FATHER, thank you for loving us and choosing us before you made the world. You are our true Father- our Creator, our Redeemer, our Sustainer, and the true end of all things, including our lives. We love you, we trust you, we worship you. We give ourselves over to you to be with you in all things, as Jesus is one with You. Thank you for proving your love by sending Jesus. We receive Him and all His life and all His work, which you ordained for us. Thank you forgiving our sins, for granting us His righteousness, for making us complete in Him. Thank you for making us alive in Christ, raising us with Him, seating us with Him at your right hand, establishing us in His authority, and anointing us with your Holy Spirit, your love, and your favor. We receive it with all thanks and give it total claim to our lives- our spirit, soul, and body; our heart, mind and will. We bring the life and the work of Jesus over our lives today and over our homes, our household, our finances – all our kingdom and domain. 

JESUS, thank you for coming to ransom us with your own life. We love you, we worship you, we trust you. We give ourselves over to you, to be one with you in all things. We receive all the work and all the triumph of your cross, death, blood and sacrifice for me, through which I am atoned for, I am ransomed and transferred to your kingdom, our sin nature is removed.  We now take our place in your cross and death, through which we have died with you to sin, to our flesh, to the world, and to the evil one.  We take up the cross and crucify our flesh with all its pride, arrogance, unbelief and idolatry. We put off the old man. We ask you to apply to us the fullness of your cross, death, blood and sacrifice. We receive it with thanks and total claim to our spirit, soul and body, our heart, mind and will. 

JESUS, we sincerely receive you as our life, our holiness, and our strength, and we receive all the work and triumph of your resurrection, through which we have conquered sin, death and judgment. Death has no mastery over us. We have been raised with you to a new life, to live your life- death to sin and alive to God. We now take our place in your resurrection and in your life, through which we are saved by your life- your humility, love, and forgiveness, your integrity in all things, your wisdom and discernment, your strength, your joy, and your union with the Father. 

JESUS, we receive your Authority, rule and dominion, our everlasting victory against Satan and His Kingdom, and our authority to bring your kingdom at all times and in every way. We receive all the work and triumph of your ascension, through which you have judged Satan and cast him down, disarming his kingdom. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to you Jesus, and you are worthy to receive all glory and honor and power and dominion, now and forevermore.  

HOLY SPIRIT, thank you for coming. We love you, we worship you, we trust you. We receive you and all the work and victory in Pentecost, through which you have come. You have clothed us with power from on high and sealed us in Christ. You have become our union with the Father and the Son; the Spirit of truth in us; the life of God in us; our Counsellor, Comforter, Strength and Guide. We honor you as our sovereign, and we yield every dimension of our spirit, soul and body, our heart, mind and will to you and you alone, to be filled with you, to walk in step with you in all things. Fill us afresh. Restore our union with the Father and the son. Lead us in all truth, anoint us for all of our life and walk and calling, and lead me deeper into Jesus today. We receive you with thanks and we give you total claim to our lives.  

In JESUS name we pray, AMEN. 

(Note from Ellen: I came across this beautiful and powerful prayer as I was looking for materials for the Team Building/ Retreat that we were doing for our Bible Study group. We prayed this prayer as a family, with our Bible Study group. I had done some editing, without taking away a huge part of the original.
