A Prayer for Perfect Peace (8.22.13)

Heavenly Father,

I come to you in the name of your son JESUS 
asking you to please forgive me
for allowing worry and anxiety to take root in my life.

I plead the blood of Jesus Christ against the spirit of fear,
and I declare and decree that you did not
give me a spirit of fear, but of power, love
and a sound mind.

You are in complete control and
You are greater than any fear my mind can conceive.

By worrying,
I have displayed an obvious lack of faith in you Father.
Please forgive me LORD,
because without faith, it is impossible to please You.

Father, I give You the weight of the world 
that I have taken on my shoulders,
and I place it in Your hands.

I cast all my cares upon You, because You care for me.

Father, in the name of Jesus
I bind anxious and worrisome thoughts
out of my life.

I bind my heart, my sound and my mind to the Holy Spirit. 
I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ 
and in its place, I loose the peace of GOD, 
which surpasses all understanding that it should guard 
my heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Oh Lord, when my heart is overwhelmed,
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Father, you promised to keep me in perfect peace
if I keep my mind on you, and if I trust in you.

I make this my declaration Lord,
I will fix all my thoughts on You because I trust in You.

Thank You Father, for delivering me from worry,
I thank You Lord for binding every stronghold
of the enemy coming against me
and thank you for casting them out.

I thank You for allowing me to rest in this confidence,
knowing that You are for me and with me,
I know that there is nothing I will face today
that You can't see me through.

I know that no power is greater than You.
I can rest in Your arms because nothing is strong enough
to come against me and succeed.

I praise You for this victory,
and for Your divine peace that floods my soul.

In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen
