Prayer of Submission

Prayer of Submission

Abba Father, I give You praise, glory, honor and thanks

For all You have done, are doing,

And will continue to do in my life (Psalm 139:13-14).

I come to You in repentance,

Acknowledging my sin and shortcomings.

Teach me how to truly and deeply repent from my heart,

So that You can have Your perfect way in and through me (I John 1:9).

I repent for all of my sin from my infancy stage until now.

I repent for my every transgression of Your Word and Will.

“Have mercy upon me, O God,


According to Your lovingkindness;


According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,


Blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,


And cleanse me from my sin” (Psalm 51:1-2, NKJV).

Abba Father, wash me and cleanse me in the precious blood

Of Your Son, Jesus.

For it is only the blood of Jesus

That can wash me, cleanse me, and make me pure within.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God,


And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from Your presence,


And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me” (Psalm 51:10-11, NKJV).

Dig deep within me, Lord.

Remove every wicked way from within me,

And set me upon Your path of righteousness and Life.

Lord, make me sensitive to the conviction of Holy Spirit.

Teach me and help me to maintain

A repentant heart at all times (Psalm 51:16-17).

Abba Father, I say yes to Your call upon my life.

Lord, I have no knowledge of who You have called me to be

Or what you require of me

I have no knowledge of what to do,

Or how to accomplish Your will for my life,

But I say yes to You!

Lord, open my eyes to see myself as You see me.

Open my eyes to see, know, and understand

Your calling upon my life.

Teach me and help me to persevere

In the pursuit of You and the fulfillment

Of Your purpose and calling upon my life (Philippians 3:13-15).

Abba Father, You have called me to the office and function

Of pastor and shepherd of Your flock.

Teach me and help me to feed the flock

That You have placed under my care (I Peter 5: 1-4).

Teach me to be the leader and shepherd

That You have ordained me to be.

Stir up Your anointing and gifts within me.

Infuse me and use me for Your honor, glory,

And the building of Your Kingdom.

Abba Father, I must know Your voice,

And I must be led by Your Spirit at all times.

There are many voices,

But it is Your voice that makes the difference.

Teach me how to hear and know Your voice.

Help me and teach me to differentiate Your voice

From every other voice in my life.

Help me and teach me to follow Your voice and leading,

Regardless of the opposing voices I hear (John 10: 4-5, 27-30).

Abba Father, I surrender to Your will the best way I know how.

I pray for a submissive spirit

Mold me and make me into that anointed disciple of God

You created, called, and ordained me to be in You (Romans 12:1-2).

Almighty God, Creator of the Heaven and Earth,

Teach me all the things I need to know

Impart Your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding within me,

Lord, I pray for wisdom to make wise decisions.

I pray for knowledge and understanding

To know and understand all the things I need

In order to fulfill Your purpose and will

For my life (Isaiah 11:1-5; James 1:4-6).

Holy Spirit, my complete dependency is upon You.

I acknowledge my complete helplessness

Without Your manifested presence within and through me.

Holy Spirit, I desperately need You

in every area of my life (John 14:25-27).

Holy Spirit, help me and teach me to include You

And acknowledge You in every area of my life

And in everything I think, say, and do (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Abba Father, please help me

So that You can help others through me.

Let me be wholly and completely Yours, and Yours alone.

Let me be Your disciple in word and deed.

In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
