"... May Your will be done"(Matthew 26:42)
Loving Father, I surrender To You today with
all my heart and soul. Please come into my heart in a deeper way. I say "Yes,"
to You today. I open all the secret places of my heart to You and say, "Come on
in." Jesus, You are Lord of my whole life. I believe in You and receive You as my
Lord and Savior. I hold nothing back. Holy Spirit, bring me to deeper conversion
to the person of Jesus Christ. I surrender all to You: my health, my family, my
resources, occupation, skills, relationships, time management, successes and failures. I
release it, and let it go. I surrender my understanding of how things ought to be, my
choices and my will. I surrender to You the promises I kept and the promises I have failed
to keep. I surrender my weaknesses and strengths to You. I surrender my emotions, my
fears, my insecurities, my sexuality. I especially surrender ____________, ____________,
________________. (Continue to surrender other areas as the Holy Spirit reveals them to
you.) Lord, I surrender my entire life to You, the past, the present and the future.
In sickness and in health, in life and in death, I belong to You.
(If you know a song of surrender, you might
close your eyes and sing it now. You could even make up a song spontaneously and sing it
to Him.)
"Take, Lord, and receive, all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. You have
given all to me. To You, O Lord, I return it. All is Yours. Dispose of it wholly according
to Your will. Give me Your love and Your grace, for this is sufficient for me."
(Prayer of St. Ignatius).
