Day 8 of 31 Days of Prayer...PRAY ABOUT LORDSHIP AND PROTECTION FROM EVIL

Loving Father, faithful and full of prayer.  I'm so grateful I can come to You with confidence, for You keep Your promises and answer prayer.  Not one single word of Your good promises has ever failed.

Lord, I submit myself to You, presenting my life and my desires as a living sacrifice.  I acknowledge You as Lord of my desires, my plans, mu successes and failures, my place in the world, my friendships. my popularity.  You are Lord of my present and future relationships, health, money, possessions, and human approval.  How good it is to yield to You, knowing that You withhold no good thing from Your odedient children who trust You and call on you.

I choose to give up all the right to myself, take up my cross day by day and follow You.  Give me power to resist the devil.  Give me grace not to let the world squeeze me into its mold--its desire to indulge ---its desire to possess--its desire to impress.  Instead, may Your Spirit remold my mind from within.  I really need this, Father, so that I can know You better, delight in You more constantly and experience Your good and perfect will for me.

Show Your mighty power, Lord by keeping me following You closely.  Do the same for my Christian friends and family members especially the young ones.  Deliver us from sin and from Satan.  Do this especially for those who right now are toying with temptation or giving into sin.
