21 Days of Prayer and FastingSample

“LORD, I GIVE YOU…”

God is calling us to humble ourselves and purify our hearts. When we submit ourselves to His will, He draws near and lifts us. A true fast involves a complete surrender of the body, soul, and spirit. God is our focus, not the act of fasting.

Lord, I give you my body. My body was created in the image of You. You knit me together. Teach me to make the right decisions to continually improve my health. Help me to exercise and eat proper foods in obedience to you because Your Word says, “I am the temple of God wherein your Spirit dwells.”

Lord, I give you my soul. Bring my mind into Your captivity and fill it with Your thoughts instead of my own. Give me Your wisdom and discernment. Your will, not mine. Show me what you have scheduled for me today and help me be sensitive to your presence, aware of your leading, and obedient to your still, small voice. Have control of my emotions. When I feel anxious, remind me that You are always with me.

Lord, I give you my spirit. Sit on the throne of my life today. I desire to be under your control. Take away any pride that keeps me from complete submission to Your will and Your plans.

What do you still need to surrender to God?

How will you do that today?
