Deliverance & Spiritual Protection

A Prayer of Renunciation and Recommitment

A plain-language prayer of renunciation, in the pattern that Christians across traditions use when they wish to close the doors that have been opened by sin, agreement with falsehood, or unforgiveness.

Sign in to save
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You as I am, and I make my choice again today. I renounce every agreement I have made with the enemy — every lie I have believed about myself, about others and about You. I renounce every bitterness I have nursed, every fear I have obeyed, and every place where I have handed over ground that belonged to You. I take it back in Your name. I forgive those who have wounded me, and I ask forgiveness of those I have wounded. I give You my body, my mind, my will, my past and my future. Be Lord of every part of me, including the parts I have kept back. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You. Amen.

About the prayer

Its logic is the same as the ancient baptismal renunciation: what was given freely must be freely taken back. The forgiveness clause is deliberate — the Lord ties our own release directly to the release we give others (Matthew 6:14-15) — and the closing line is Psalm 73:25.
