Give Your Life To God

Prayer Material

We are so dependent on God and His Word. We live by Him, and we live through Him. God is asking if we’re prepared to leave everything behind and take that step on the water. Will we shift our focus to the One who saved us, who loved us first? Are we ready to take His hand and go into the unknown, not knowing what awaits us?

“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:38-39 (NKJV)

Pray The Word

When we surrender our lives to God, we invite Him into our lives and nation. Fasting and prayer break the bondages and unlock the anointing. Here are some powerful verses to align our hearts with Heaven.

Father, thank You that because of Christ and our faith in Him, we can now come boldly and confidently into Your presence. (Ephesians 3:12)
Thank You, Jesus, that You saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of Your mercy. You washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit, and generously poured out the Spirit upon us. (Titus 3:5-6)
Lord, we fear You, love You, and we choose to walk in Your ways. We serve You with all our heart and all our soul. (Deuteronomy 10:12-13)
Create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us, Lord. (Psalm 51:10)
Lord, we remove unrighteousness far from our tents and ask for Your restoration in our lives and nation.
(Job 22:23)
Jesus, our eyes are fixed on You, who endured the Cross, and sits at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:2)
Lord, we count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing You as our Lord and growing more deeply and intimately acquainted with You. For Your sake, we will lose everything and consider it all to be rubbish, that we may gain You. (Philippians 3:8)
Jesus, we pray that the USA will remain in You so that You will remain in our nation. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without abiding in the vine, neither can our nation bear fruit unless it abides in You. (John 15:4)
Your Word says that no good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is known by its own fruit. We pray that our nation will be known for its good fruit. (Luke 6:43-44)
Lord, may we sow according to righteousness and reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Now is the
time to seek You and require Your favor until You rain righteousness and Your gift of salvation upon the USA. (Hosea 10:12)
Father, we will not forget Your law and teachings, but our hearts will keep Your commandments, for then you will add length of days and years to our life. (Proverbs 3:1-2)
Since we have these great and wonderful promises for our nation, we cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit to make our holiness complete because we fear You, Lord. (2 Corinthians 7:1)
Help us to be holy like You, the Holy One who called us—set apart from the world by our godly character and moral courage. For it is written that we shall be holy and set apart, for You, Lord, are holy. (1 Peter 1:15-16)
May we all, with unveiled faces, behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the glory of the Lord and be progressively transformed into Your image, from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from Your Holy Spirit.
(2 Corinthians 3:18)
May our nation be filled with the knowledge of the glory of You, Lord, even as the waters cover the sea.
(Habakkuk 2:14)
Lord, You have shown us what is good. Help the USA to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before You. (Micah 6:8)
Search us, Lord God, and know our hearts; test us and know our anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in us and lead us in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24)
Thank You, Father, that as we draw near to You, You will draw near to us. We cleanse our hands of sin and purify our hearts from double-mindedness. (James 4:8)
Father, we ask that You sanctify the USA in the truth; Your Word is truth. (John 17:17)
Jesus, we will take up our cross and follow after You because he who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for Your sake will find it. (Matthew 10:38-39)

Week 1

1. Leave It

Jesus isn’t asking anything of us that He is not prepared to do Himself. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“ He doesn’t even ask us to go that far.

“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:38-39 (NKJV)

2. Behind

Jesus gave His life so that we can have everlasting life. We must be willing to give up things for Him.

We need to ask ourselves what we are holding onto in our lives that He wants us to let go of.

PRAY: Lord, thank You for loving us first. The things You ask us to give up are a small price to pay for what You’ve given us. Please give us the strength and the grace to let go of the things that are holding us back from giving our lives to You fully. Amen.

3. The “Fast” Life

Many people think fasting was only relevant in the Old Testament, and we don’t have to fast anymore. But the New Testament says: “When you fast” (Matthew 6:16). The early Church fasted and prayed; they knew there were no shortcuts.

When the disciples encountered a demon-possessed boy, they couldn’t cast it out. Jesus said, “This kind doesn’t come out but by prayer and fasting.“ There are some strongholds that we have authority over, but some things take prayer and fasting. We fast for a move of the Spirit in the USA. We fast for God to touch this nation.

“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:21 (KJV)

4. Pray for the USA

Set time aside and pray that everyone in the USA will give their lives to God.

Week 2

1. The “I”

We must die to our flesh (the “I”) for Christ to live through us. When we walk in that life, people will see it and want it, too, and then it's easy to lead them to Jesus. But if we have hardhearted, terrible, filthy natures, we are not drawing them to Jesus because it’s not the Christ-life they see in us.

Isn’t it worth paying the price? To know that through our way of life, we can bring souls into the Kingdom of God? God can use us when we stop prioritizing our lives and comfort.

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 (NIV)

2. Must Die

We all have things in our lives that we must let go of, which have to die. Dying to our old self isn’t easy.

What are the things in our spiritual walk that God isn’t happy with? We need to make a list of the things in our spiritual walk that God is not happy with and also things that are more important to us than God. It may be an attitude, sinful habits, gossiping, stubbornness, pride, fear, idolatry, or a loved one.

PRAY: Lord, thank You for dying for our sins. We repent of the things we haven’t died to. Help us get rid of our old self so Your life can flow through us for the world to see. Amen.

3. The "Fast" Life

Isaiah 58 teaches us that fasting breaks the yoke. Fasting increases the anointing, which removes the heavy burdens. Man cannot help us; only God can. Fasting and prayer empower us to know that God is the supernatural All-Things-Are-Possible-God who changes our lives.

Fasting humbles us and makes way for the strength of God to come into our lives. We don’t have the ability to do it in our natural man. The Spirit of God takes over, and He moves the mountains in our lives when we fast and pray.

When we are dedicated in our fasting and prayer, we will see the Kingdom of God activated in this nation.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds...”
2 Corinthians 10:4 (NKJV)

4. Pray for the USA

Set time aside and pray that everyone in the USA will give their lives to God.

Week 3

1. The Garden

By grace, we are saved and set apart from the world and sin. By His grace, we are grafted into the person of the Lord Jesus. It is always by grace, never through works. Grace gives us that openness with God where we allow Him in, and He works in us. We are His garden.

It’s His garden, His calling, and His life. We belong to Him—spirit, soul, and body. We belong to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We have a responsibility to keep the garden clean because He wants to come in and talk to us.

“For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God’s garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 (AMPC)

2. Of God

Do we see ourselves as God’s garden?

Is our garden pleasant to God? Is it taken care of, and does it bear lots of fruit?

PRAY: Dear Heavenly Father, our lives belong to You. Help us to live lives that please You. We no longer live to bear fruit for our benefit, but we dedicate our lives to You so that we will bear fruit for You alone. Amen.

3. The “Fast” Life

We will see souls saved if we return to God and say, “Lord, what is holding back the move of the Spirit in this nation? Show us where there are idols in our lives. Where do we have pride in our lives? Are we judging others? Lord, please deal with these things.”

Moses was one man who delivered a nation. Abraham was one man who interceded when God was about to destroy cities. Intercession is powerful. Daniel prayed and fasted for three weeks. His encounter with God enabled archangel Michael to fight against the prince of Persia and the prince of Greece. He humbled himself and repented before the Lord; Daniel confessed his sins. God is looking for the Daniels of today.

“...Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 (KJV)

4. Pray for the USA

Set time aside and pray that everyone in the USA will give their lives to God.

Week 4

1. Holy God

Only constant dedication can persuade the Lord to come into His garden. He will go in when there is fruit to satisfy Him. Many people want the presence of God. They want God with them every day, but He is a holy God and will not live in filth. Let us not be smug and complacent and become too comfortable. We belong to the Lord!

We should live in such a way that He will want to visit us in His garden and find what He wants. We want God to have communion with us, to talk to us. We cannot be in His presence yet live like the devil. It doesn’t work that way. God is a holy God.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” John 12:24 (ESV)

2. Holy Heart

God loves us and shows us grace and mercy, but we still have a responsibility to live a holy life.

Grace is the power that enables us to be holy. It’s not an excuse to keep living in sin.

PRAY: Dear Heavenly Father, You are holy. We repent where we have become too comfortable with the things of the flesh. Cleanse us so that we will be a holy sanctuary unto You. Amen.

3. The “Fast” Life

Fasting is by grace. We cannot boast about our fasting. If we are "doing" the fasting, then it's us. When we fast, we humble ourselves before God. Fasting aligns us with God's will. There must be a brokenness in our fasting. Fasting must not be self-driven. It must be Spirit-led.

The Pharisees prayed and said, “God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are because I fast twice in the week.” When we are fasting, we are not boasting in our fasting. Instead, we are humble and introspective. We look to God and ask Him to shine His light. Fasting should be a time of searching our hearts and repentance. That is what fasting is all about.

“But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:17-18 (KJV)

4. Pray for the USA

Set time aside and pray that everyone in the USA will give their lives to God.
