Lead me, guide me and teach me by your Holy Spirit who lives in me. I renounce temptation and sin before it ever approaches me. I reject the ways of this world and I choose to submit to God and resist the devil. I am God’s child. His grace empowers me to live like Him. I will talk, walk, act, give, and respond like He would, because His nature abides in me and I’m in Him. I declare Jesus is Lord of my life today!”
