John,
Per our phone conversation the other day, the first thing you will need to do to get the real show going with God the Father is to make a full and complete surrender of your entire life over to Him.
The first full surrender prayer I will now give you is the one you will initially start out with. After that, say the second prayer once or twice a year for the rest of your life if you really want God to have full and complete control of everything in your life.
1. Making The Initial Full Surrender
This is the first one that you will use to make the initial full surrender to God the Father.
“Father,
In the name of Jesus, I am now willing to place my body, my soul, my spirit, and my entire life into Your hands. I now ask that You place me into Your perfect will and plan for my life.
Father, from this moment on, I will choose to stay fully surrendered to You all the days of my life, and will allow You to lead and direct my life in the direction that You will want it to go in.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.”
2. To Stay Fully Surrendered
John, just say the following prayer once or twice a year after making the initial commitment to God to show Him that you are really serious about staying in this full surrender with Him. The words are changed around just a bit.
“Father, in the name of Jesus, I continue to place my body, my soul, my spirit, and my entire life in Your hands. I am now choosing to stay fully surrendered to You all the days of my life and I ask that You continue to keep me in Your perfect will and plan for my life.
Thank you Father.
Thank you Jesus.”
Remarks
1. The Bible tells us that we have 3 parts to our beings – body, soul, and spirit. God wants all three parts of your being fully surrendered to Him along with your entire life. When you fully surrender your entire life over to God the Father – this will literally include everything in your life – including yourself, your wife, your children, your jobs, your finances, and your health.
2. Also ask God to give you His peace so as to help take away some of the stress you are feeling right now with things being tight right now. Once you fully surrender everything over to God the Father, then it will now be His job to lead you into the jobs that He will want you to be working in, along with making sure that enough money comes your way to help keep you and your wife afloat.
If He wants you staying in the financial field, then He will lead you and open doors for you that you could not open for yourself to get the sales that you will need to stay afloat. Give God a try – you just may be pleasantly surprised with what He may do with your life!
We also have a very good detailed article on this topic in the Bible Basics section of our site. The title of this article is, “The Full Surrender.” This article will give you all of the main verses from the Bible on this full surrender that God is looking for from each and everyone of us.
When i started to read and say the twoo prayers, tears filled up my eyes. I really appreciate this and let the Lord bless you all the time
Thanks
meditating on this info. it helps me a lot on how to really pray earnestly
…….tanx a lot
I am in desperate need of this prayer. I;m so tired of trying to have my own way. It is a futile fight. I always lose.
@Rose, I feel the same, Rose. I’m so tired of striving and not thriving in Him. I trust God will help you in every area that needs attention in your life. Blessings Leah.
I really needed to surrender all I am to Christ and through your words I was able to…..God bless
I am asking for prayers and i have surrendered to you my lord but it keeps getting worse i know that you created this person who is me and you gave me not only the ability to sing but the gift to become a recording artist I’ve had to many doors closed in my life i will not give up, most of the time i feel nothing my heart is weak but i know that you have a purpose for me in this planet which is earth you created this talented artist so i ask in your name and your will to OPEN DOORS and that you send the right persons to help me succeed in my music career i pray in your name jesus amen.
bro is well. Jesus knows your inner weakness. just don’t stop trusting in the Lord for Salvation is near at hand.
@amado, God does have a purpose for you. I advise to keep surrendering and asking God in prayer what direction you must take before you move. I too am the same. Have had many jobs but I’ve always seemed to be sacked from them for bizarre reasons. Even though over qualified I found myself striving and no job was ever the right one. I believe God will reveal Your Plan. The one He’s prepared for you. Just keep seeking Him first abs everything else will be added. Blessings.
@amado, My brother Jesus wants to bless your music career, but he wants to be glorified in it and wants you to use it for his glory. If its secular music or worldly music your seeking a career in then he will continue to shut the doors and wil not allow you to succeed, because it’s music of the world and as christians we are not to have anything to do with the world. If its Christian music and is used to glorify God “then you can count on his faithfulness to bring it to pass” all in his perfect timing. He wants us all to glorify him with worship, music, prayer, and psalms. Scripture say “make a joyful noise unto the Lord” with everything in us. God Bless you and hope your heart is in the right place and Glorify the King of Kings because he’s worthy of it. Amen
I have fully surrendered my life to the FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AMEN!
@william, Praise God, thank you Jesus. Another soul saved for YOUR Kingdom. Blessing brother and welcome to your wider church family who are all praying for each other.
I needed this prayer badly. Thank you God for granting me peace. I love you and by your holy spirit be done in me in Jesus name Amen.
What happens after you do this is you go through the testing of your life, it’s like a dark tunnel you want to give up and go back to your way ward life, only you can’t. Once at the end of the tunnel you get everything the Lord has for you. The minute after doing this my life changed. Hold on to God and pray and pray you will get through
I thank God sincerely from my heart for coming across this great teaching, this is the kind am been looking for all this while and I know that God purposely prepare this to be of help to me in other for Him to show me how to totally and fully surrender to Him for him alone to take the lead on how I will follow his plan, purpose and his perfect will for my life and I pray that He will give me the grace to start this Race that is set before me and to finish the Race in Jesus name amen.
I feel as if I was divinely guided to your site this evening. Everything you are saying about how I want to live the rest of my life totally devoted to God and His plan for the remainder of my life here on earth is exactly what I have been saying and feeling! I want to make a difference with my life and I want to completely surrender to Him right now!
Knowing The Godhead, is the most important and best decision I’ve made in my life. Staying surrendered is the second most important decision.
God, has been faithful in this.
He is taking the daily stresses off life and given me his peace. As I’ve surrendered finances, he’s faithful here also. Every area.
Thank you Father,Son, Holy Spirit.
I speak the name of Jesus over all my worries and give him control.
Life is to unpredictable and each day has its challenges. But there is nothing to difficult that God can’t help us thru .
Thank you Jesus
I have been living in despair and total depression. In my 40’s I was trying to find the true essence of life. I made up my mind to yield myself to God and let Him be master of my life. I came across this article at the best time. Thanks
