Ruler of our Lives

Lord, I bow before You this day and declare that You are Lord over every area of my life.  I surrender myself and my life to You and invite You to rule in every part of my mind, soul, body, and spirit.  I love You with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my mind.  I commit to trusting You with my whole being.  I declare You to be Lord over every area of my life today and every day.

Enable me to deny myself in order to take up my cross daily and follow you (Luke 9:23).  I want to be Your disciple just as You have said in Your word (Luke 14:27).  Help me to do what it takes.  I want to lose my life in You so I can save it (Luke 9:24).  Teach me what that means.  Speak to me so that I may understand.

Help me to say yes to You immediately when You give me direction for my life.  My desire is to please You and hold nothing back.  I surrender my relationships, my finances, my work, my recreation, my decisions, my time, my body, my mind, my soul, my desires, and my dreams.  I put them all in Your hands so they can be used for Your glory.  I declare this day that "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."  (Galatians 2:20).  Rule me in every area of my life, Lord and lead me into all that You have for me.
