House Cleaning – Prayer

Abba, I come to You today, knowing that You are a good father. Faithful, merciful and gracious. You take delight in me, Your child. You loved me before the world began and You have great plans for me. I stand before you today knowing that something is not right in my heart and/or mind. I have been filled with fear and anxiety specifically in the area of ____________. I know that You are love and Your perfect love casts out fear. So I know this is not of you. And I know, that I don’t have to fear being in your presence today because I can stand before you, not because of anything I have done, but because of Jesus and His sacrifice and resurrection power that was given to me upon salvation. I come before You and I ask You to reveal in me any sin that I might be harboring that has brought about this fear and anxiety. Father as You reveal this sin, I pray that You would give me the strength to acknowledge it and to be repulsed by it. Let my spirit be grieved enough to desire change. If I have grown comfortable with my sin, please soften my heart so that I no longer justify it. Father, forgive me for this sin that you have revealed to me. And turn my heart away from sin and things that separate me from You. Thank You that You love when I come and confess because You love to forgive me and You desire Your best in my life. If this is not because of a sin I have committed but rather a hurt from the past that I have not dealt with, please show me the root cause of it. Give me the strength to look at hard times I have gone through in the past, with courage to bring it to the future and lay it at your feet. You alone know the inner workings of my heart and mind. If this is something that needs outside help, God point me to the people who will speak life and healing over this situation. I am one of your sheep who needs Your guiding as I take this journey into healing. Thank you that Your word says, I can be free and You delight in showing mercy. I also thank You that You redeem the broken parts of my live and You use them as my greatest witness of Your power in my live. Let me be quick to tell others of Your great love and tender healing mercies in this area of my life. I trust You to be a revealer of truth in this area. I trust You to be careful and specific as You move in my heart. Abba, I lay all my fear and anxiety regarding this at Your feet. Please help me not to pick it back up and paint it on my heart again. If I should try to take it back, let Your Spirit reveal that as well. Thank You for your mercy and grace.

Your favorite, M
