Surrender Prayer


God, my Father, I thank you for all that you are, and all that you do for me through your son Jesus. In Jesus' name, Father, I place myself entirely in your care. I present to you: my self, my mind, my memory, my will, my emotions, my body, my sexuality, my desire for human approval, my weaknesses, my desires, my sins.

I surrender every person in my life to you.
I surrender every situation in my life to you.
I surrender every relationship I am in to you.
I surrender every concern I have to you.
I surrender every fear I have to you.
I surrender every doubt I have to you.
I surrender all confusion I have to you.
I surrender all sadness I am experiencing in my heart to you.
I surrender all the woundedness I have to you.
I surrender all anxiety and worry I have to you.
I trust you to care for me and others in the most loving way.

As I have emptied myself, and surrendered everything to you,
I ask you now, Father, to fill me with your Holy Spirit
and all the gifts and fruit of your Spirit.

Holy Spirit you are the source of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Gentleness, tenderness, Faithfulness, Humility, and Self-control. Purify my desires. Help me to open my heart to you. Help me to become receptive as a child. Help me to receive from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus all grace and virtues necessary for me.

I ask this of Jesus Christ, Your son O’Most Holy Immaculate Virgin Mary. I entrust these prayers to your care, and ask you to press them to your wounded heart and intercede for me.
Amen.
