Pattern prayer for Identity Issues

Lord, you cared enough about me to choose me as your child. I affirm that your love for me is unconditional and unchanging. My own thoughts and feelings are deceptive. I reject the lie of rejection that demeans my personal value and robs me of the joy of my inheritance in your kingdom. I affirm that your plans for my life are for fulfillment and fruitfulness. I speak to the mountains of self-doubt, fear of other people, and inferiority, and receive Your power over my mind and emotions.

Father, I take refuge in you alone and submit my struggle to you. I resist the accusations of Satan that I don’t matter to you and that I don’t have a place in your plan. Draw near to me.  Heal my wounded heart, speak truth to my inner person, and free me through your love to be available for service to others.

Prayer for Sin Strongholds

Father, I expose to you the unwarranted anger in my life. I cannot change these reactions. I confess this as sin. Please forgive me and cleanse me. Create in me a new heart, by your power and renew a right spirit within me. In the name of Jesus, I renounce my rights to this anger.

Remove from me, Lord, the root of irritation that keeps this sin alive in me. I reject the thought that I’ll never change. Spirit of God, I invite you to cleanse and control the unwarranted anger in my life.

Produce in me the power of self-control and gentleness. Lord, by the power of your Word, I renounce the notion that I’m resigned to being an angry person.

Change my heart, O God, in the power of Jesus ‘ name.

Amen.
