My Dear Lord Jesus, I come to you now to be restored in you ---to renew my place in you, my allegiance to you, and to receive from you all the grace and mercy I so desperately need this day. I honour you as my sovereign Lord, and I surrender every aspect of my life totally and completely to you. I give you my body as a living sacrifice; I give you my heart, soul, mind, and strength; and I give you my spirit as well. I cover myself with your blood—my spirit, my soul and my body. And I ask your Holy Spirit to restore my union with you, seal me in you, and guide me in this time of prayer.

Dear God, holy and victorious Trinity, you alone are worthy of all my worship, my heart’s devotion, all my praise and all my trust and all the glory of my life. I worship you, bow to you and 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 it is all about you, God, and not about me. You are the Hero of this story, and I belong to you.

Forgive me for my every sin. Search me and know me and reveal to me any aspect of my life that is not pleasing to you. Expose any agreements I have made with my Enemy, and grant me the grace of a deep and true repentance. Heavenly Father, thank you for your 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 love you; I worship you. Thank you for proving your love for me by sending your only Son, Jesus, to be my sacrifice and my new life, I receive Him and all his life and all his work, which you ordained for me. Thank you for including me in Christ, for forgiving me my sins, for granting me his authority, and anointing me with your Holy Spirit. I receive it all with thanks and give it total claim to my life.
