Lord, I approach your throne of grace today as a child approaching their father. You said I should love you with all my heart, soul, and mind, but I can’t love you with all my mind because of the ongoing battle. So Adonai, even now, I renew my mind as I verbalize the truth about who you are and your promises towards me:

You are exalted as head over all, and you are the ruler of all things. Greatness, power, and majesty are yours. You existed before all things, and you hold all things together. You are all-powerful, all-knowing, and superior to every man and god. You are greater than every principality, spiritual wickedness, satanic opposition, and every stronghold of the enemy. Your Spirit of victory and truth is living in me. I am a citizen of your Kingdom; I have access to you and can approach you with boldness. I am loved by you; oh what manner of love you have bestowed on me. I am your creation, and I belong to you. You are my refuge and strength; you are always present to help in trouble. You are on my side, and you will never leave me to fight my battles on my own. You are my source and my portion forever. How rich is your grace, and how great is your kindness towards me.

Lord, I acknowledge that I need your help to win this mental battle. You did not create your children to be bound and crippled by fear, loneliness, rejection, unforgiveness, lust, bitterness, anxiety, doubt, low self-esteem, guilt, insecurities, addiction, suicidal thoughts, anger, self-defeating and judgmental thoughts. Your desire is for us to live in freedom from the holds of the world and the devil. Teach me to control and conquer my thoughts, and bring them into submission to Jesus Christ, as I aim to please you in every way. Teach me to replace every unhealthy thought with your Word and your truth. Help me take on the mind of Christ and focus my mind on things that are beneficial, holy, and true according to what is written in your Word. Lord, I know that I am not fighting against human beings, but against rulers of darkness in high places, so I ask you to gird me with strength for battle so I can reject every temptation and thought that contradicts the truth of who you are and who I am in you. Help me to be strong in your mighty power, not leaning on my own strength or understanding. Lord, I know I can’t break free by my own might so teach me to put on your armor of war so that I can take my stand against the devil’s schemes – being equipped with the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shield of faith, the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of your Word.… Amen.
