Freedom From Strongholds
Dear God,
Thank you for being God in my life! Thank you for your grace and mercy and loving me with all my faults and hang ups. You are a good God and a loving God, and you love me like no one else does, because your love is unconditional and unending. Thank you for walking with me each day through this lifelong journey with you and for being patient with me.
Father God, there are still areas in my life which I struggle with, and I am tired of carrying this weight. I need healing and deliverance. I am tired of holding on to past hurts from people who were supposed to love and care for me. I need your help in learning to forgive them so that I do not remain a prisoner of their abuse. I also need to learn how to forgive myself for not being strong enough to fight back, for not having the strength or courage to stand up to my abuser. I need to be able to move forward with my life, not just for my mental and emotional well-being, but for my total well-being – spiritual-psycho-social well-being. I want to be truly free to worship and praise you without feeling weighted down by past hurts and abuse. I truly want to give over these burdens to my Lord and Savior; but, I find it so hard to do especially when I see my abuser going on with their life like they did nothing wrong. Please Lord, show me in your Word how to move on; give me strength, Holy Ghost, empower me to release it all to Jesus.
Your word says to cast my cares upon Him, to take His yoke because it is easy and His burden is light. Please make this happen for me, God; so that I may be able to truly walk in the liberty your Word gives and be set completely free from the onslaughts of anxiety, fear, panic attacks, anger, depression, bitter and resentful attitudes that are holding me back. Renew my mind with the truth of your Word that vengeance is yours, that you will take my pain away and wipe away my tears, that I am more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus, that I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me, and to let this mind be in me that is also in Christ Jesus. I believe your Word Father God; I just need your strength, the strength of your Word to overcome and bind these strongholds, so that I may become the wholesome person you want me to be, walking in your love and in the fullness of your joy and truth. I ask this in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus, The Christ, Amen!
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
-Matthew 11:30
“Casting all your care upon him; for He careth for you.”
-1 Peter 5:7
