The Daily Prayer Page 1 of 2

This extended version of the Daily Prayer is a compilation of several prayers brought together by Joshua Rupp, Worship Arts Director at Gaylord E-Free Church. These include excerpts from: the Prayer of St Patrick, the Jesus Prayer, the Trisagian Prayer, and the names of God whose meanings are written out as a prayer. However, the bulk of the Daily Prayer was constructed by Ransomed Heart Ministries with John Eldridge. Here is an explanation of the prayer from ransomedheart.com: Over the years we have grown in our understanding of prayer, and spiritual warfare, and of our need to be restored in the life of God each day. And so we have developed this prayer, which we call The Daily Prayer. It is entirely based on Scripture, almost like praying the Scriptures. May it be a source of life to you. Daily.

LORD I come to you now to be restored in you, to be renewed in you, to receive your love and your life, and all the grace and mercy I so desperately need this day. I honor you as my Sovereign, and I surrender every aspect and dimension of my life totally and completely to you. I give you my spirit (pneuma: the immaterial part of me which lives on forever), soul (psyche: my unique person-hood and personality that makes me different from everybody else) and mortal body (diet, exercise, sleep and sexuality), my heart (emotions and passions and motives), mind (thoughts, imaginations and intellect), and will (decisions, impulses and disciplines). I ask you to cover every part of myself with the blood of Christ and I yearn for your Holy Spirit to restore my alignment in you, renew my intimacy with you, and lead me in this time of prayer. I stand in total agreement with your Spirit, and with my intercessors and allies, by your Spirit alone.

In all that I now pray, I include (my spouse and/or children, by name). Also I include my loved ones and my enemies including (by name) and I ask you to cover them with your blood – their spirit, soul and body, their heart, mind and will. I ask your Spirit to restore them in you, renew them in you, and apply to them all that I now pray on their behalf.

Adoration, Devotion, Confession: O God, holy and victorious Trinity, you alone are worthy of all my worship, my heart’s devotion, all my praise, all my trust and all the glory of my life. I love you, I worship you, I trust you. I give myself over to you in my heart’s search for life. You alone are Life, and you have become my life. I renounce all other gods, all idols, and I give you the place in my heart and in my life that you truly deserve. I confess here and now that this is all about you, God, and not about me. You are the Hero of this story, and I belong to you. And so I ask your forgiveness for my every sin. Search me and know me, cleanse me and reveal to me where you are working and what you are asking in my life, and grant to me the grace of your healing and deliverance, and a deep and true repentance.

Prayer to the Father: Heavenly Father, thank you for loving me and choosing me before you made the world. You are my true Father—my Creator, my Redeemer, my Sustainer, and the true end of all things, including my life. I honor you as my Sovereign. I love you, I trust you, I worship you, I embrace you. I give myself over to you to be one with you in all things, as Jesus is one with you. Thank you for proving your love by sending Jesus. I receive him and all his life and all his work, which you ordained and provided for me. Thank you for including me in Christ, for forgiving me my sins, for granting me his righteousness, for making me complete in him. Thank you for making me alive with Christ, raising me with him, seating me with him at your right hand, establishing me in his authority, and anointing me with your Holy Spirit, your love and your favor. In you I live and move and have my being by Your strength to pilot me, Your might to uphold me, Your wisdom to enlighten me, Your eye to look before me, Your ear to hear me, Your word to speak to me and for me, Your hand to guard me, Your path and will to lie before me, Your shield to protect me, Your host to save me, from snares of devils, from temptations of vices, from everyone who shall wish me ill, afar and anear, alone and in multitude. I receive all these provisions and lavish gifts with humble gratitude and give them total claim to my life—my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind and will. Page 2 of 2 Prayer to the Son: Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Jesus, thank you for coming to ransom me with your own life. I honor you as my Sovereign. I love you, I worship you, I trust you. I give myself over to you to be one with you in all things. I sincerely receive you as my deliverer from sin and death and judgement and from the kingdom of darkness and its every claim made against me. His Death: I receive all the work and all of the triumph of your cross, death, blood and sacrifice for me, through which I am atoned for, I am ransomed and transferred to your kingdom, my sin nature is removed, my heart is circumcised unto you my Lord. So I now take my place in your cross and death, through which I have died with you to sin, to my flesh, to the world, and to the evil one. I take up the cross and crucify my flesh with all its pride, arrogance, unbelief, idolatry, (and anything else you are struggling with). I put off the old man. I ask you to apply to me the work, triumph and fullness of your cross, death, blood and sacrifice. I receive this deliverance with thanks and give it total claim to my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind and will. His Resurrection: Jesus, I also sincerely receive you as my life, my holiness and strength, and I receive all the work and triumph of your resurrection and life, through which you have conquered sin and death and judgment. Death has no mastery over you, nor does any foul thing. And I have been raised with you to a new life, to live your life – dead to sin and alive to God. So I now take my place in your resurrection and in your life, through which I am saved by your life. I reign in life through your life – all your love, your humility, your forgiveness, your authority, your integrity in all things, your wisdom and discernment, your strength and courage and valor, your joy, your creativity and ingenuity, your union with the Father. I make no provision for anything else anywhere in me. I give you total claim to my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind and will. His Ascension: Jesus, I also receive all the work, triumph and authority, of your ascension and your throne, through which you have judged Satan and cast him down, you have disarmed his kingdom. I receive you as my authority and ruler and dominion, my everlasting victory against Satan and his kingdom, and my ability to bring your Kingdom at all times and in every way. All authority in heaven and on earth is YOURS, and you are worthy to receive all glory and honor, power and dominion, now and forevermore. And I have been given fullness in you, in your authority. So I now take my place in your ascension, your authority and in your throne, whereby I have been raised with you to the right hand of the Father and established in your authority. And I now bring the kingdom of God, and the authority, rule and dominion of Jesus Christ over my life today, as well as my family, loved ones and friends, my home & household, my vehicles and finances, my time, my offices, my work and all of my kingdom and domain . His Conquest: And as for Satan, I now bring the authority, rule and dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ, the power and fullness of the work of Christ, against Satan, against his kingdom, against every foul and unclean spirit, against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul, against deception of false prophets, against incantations and black laws of pagandom, against false laws of heretics, against craft of idolatry, against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul and all forms of spiritual warfare come against me this day. (At this point you might want to name that which you know has been attacking you: accusation, judgement, shame, doubt, fear, temptation, unforgiveness). I disarm each of these things, bind them all from me and send them away as banished through the full work and triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ and in authority of his name. I receive this deliverance with thanks ...and give it total claim to my life in my spirit, soul and body, my heart mind and will, as well as over my family, loved ones and friends, my home & household, my vehicles and finances, my time & priorities, my offices, my work and all of my kingdom and domain in the living powerful name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit: Holy Spirit, thank you for coming. I am sorry for the times I've grieved you, and I invite you to please renew your presence and power in my life. I love you, I worship you, I trust you, I embrace you. I honor you as my Sovereign. I sincerely receive you and all the work and victory in Pentecost, through which you have come, you have clothed me with power from on high, sealed me in Christ. You have become the Spirit of truth in me, the life of God in me, my Counselor, Comforter, Strength, and Guide. You are my anointing, Holy Spirit. And so I now yield every aspect and dimension of my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind and will, with special attention to my tongue, eyes, hands, imagination, impulses, emotions and meditations and all that is within me I surrender to you and you alone, to be filled with you, to walk in step with you in all things. Fill me until I overflow as you patch up my leaks and restore my union with the Father and the Son. Lead me in all truth, anoint me for all of my life and walk and calling, and lead me deeper into Jesus today. I receive you with thanks, and I declare that you, Holy Spirit have total claim to my life as well as my family, loved ones and friends, my home & household, my vehicles and finances, my time & priorities, my offices, my work and all of my kingdom and domain .

Spiritual Armament: Jehovah-Jireh, thank you for granting to me every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus and everything I need for life and godliness through my knowledge of You who called me by your glory and your goodness. You are the treasury of good things and by your great compassion and mercy, I receive the riches in Christ Jesus over my life. I put on the full armor of God – the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel, helmet of salvation. I take up the shield of faith and sword of the Spirit, and I choose to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might and wield these weapons at all times in the power of God. Empower me as I pray at all times in the Spirit. Thank you for your ministering angels. I summon them in the authority of Jesus Christ to guard and protect me and all those I love and be my/our companions throughout the day. In the service of Jehovah-Tsebaioth I pray for these angels to destroy the kingdom of darkness throughout my kingdom and domain, destroy all that is raised against me, and to establish God's Kingdom throughout my kingdom. Jehovah-Nissi, I ask you to send your Spirit forth in Your kingdom to wake and rouse and quicken and unite my intercessors and allies today. And that you would raise up the full company and canopy of prayer and intercession for me. In the authority of Jesus I call forth the kingdom of God and the glory, dominion, life and Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout every aspect and dimension of my life, with all honor and thanks to you my LORD Adonai. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now, and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Let it be – Amen.
