Prayer for Deliverance from Negative Confessions
O God, Word of Truth, please deliver me from making negative confessions over my life or over other people’s lives. I know Your Word teaches me that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Holy Spirit, help me remember that the words of my mouth should be in agreement with what Your Word says.

Help me to be intentional in speaking positive and faith-filled confessions over myself and those around me. Amen.

Prayer to be Liberated from Enabling Behaviors
O Lord, my Tower of Strength, I pray that You will liberate me from my enabling behaviors with regard to my loved one who is struggling with addictions.

Help me to live the truth, speak the truth, and be strong and proactive in this situation. Deliver my loved one, I pray, but also deliver me from harmful thought patterns and actions. Amen.

Prayer to Put away Bad Language
Lord, my Guard, I pray that You would help me set a guard over my own mouth. I confess that I have been guilty of using swear words, obscenities, racial and sexual slurs, and telling dirty jokes. I know that Your Word says I must rid myself of filthy language. Forgive me Lord, and may Your Holy Spirit convict me if I start to use such language. May the words of my mouth be pure, reverent, kind and true. Amen.

Prayer of Liberation from a Dysfunctional Relationship
God of Faithfulness, I seek Your liberation from this dysfunctional relationship. I don’t ask to be released from the relationship itself but from the dysfunctional aspect. Please help me and my partner to overcome our poor conflict management skills, and to learn to relate to one another in a balanced, loving, healthy and affirming way. Help us to put the needs of the other before ourselves and to enjoy a harmonious relationship that honors You. Amen.

Prayer to be Free from a Disability
O Lord, my Healer, I seek to be free from this disability. I stand on Your Word that tells me that You forgive all our sins and heal all our diseases. Heal me, Lord, I pray. The thief has come to steal, kill, and destroy, but Your Son Jesus came to bring abundant life, and I claim that abundant life over my body. In the Name of Jesus, I speak to this mountain and command it to be uprooted and cast into the sea. I claim full mobility to all parts of my body. Amen.

Prayer for Rescue from Mental Illness
O God, my Rock that is higher than I, please rescue me from mental illness. The one whom the Son sets free is free indeed! I have been enslaved to this illness that has robbed me of so much, and I plead for normality and balance in my thought patterns and my actions and in my relationships. Relieve these symptoms, I pray, and help me to live a satisfying life. Remind me to avoid isolation, and to find peace and calmness as I focus and meditate on You. Amen.

Prayer to Break the Chains of the World’s Philosophy
Lord of Light, I confess that I have been taken captive by philosophy and empty deception that is based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world, rather than on Christ.

Protect me from deception and establish me in godly reasoning and wisdom. Amen.

Prayer to be Released from Hurtful Language
My Righteous God, I confess that I have been guilty of gossip, slander, and careless words about others. I am ashamed that I have used my mouth to hurt the feelings and the reputation of others.

May the words of my mouth be affirming, encouraging, and kind. Amen.
