Prayer of Submission
Conceding control of my life and giving it to God is a hard thing to do. Here is a prayer that may help submitting the thoughts, words, and actions of your day to God.
Father, this is Your day on loan to me, and I want to be used by You for eternal and lasting purposes. I submit myself, my plans, my activities, and my interactions with others to You. I am thankful that Your Spirit indwells me. Now I ask that Your Spirit control every aspect of my life. Take control of my tongue, that my words will reflect Your love and grace. Take control of my emotions, that I may respond obediently and calmly. Take control of my thoughts, that my mind may be cleansed of those things that will not bring glory to You. Place in my mind those things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy. Control my actions in such a way so others will know what I my deeds have been influenced by You. Give me the strength to live this day in a way that pleases You. I submit myself to Your control. In Christ’s name. Amen.
