Father, I repent and renounce and release the dependency by which I’ve lived until now. Whatever the roots—self-doubt, self-hatred, self-loathing, etc.—I release the sense that I need anything or anyone but You and Your truth to get me through the day and through this life. Remind me, moment by moment, that my God will meet all my needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

Prayer to release an attitude of victimhood
Lord, with Your help, I release all the negative thoughts, feelings and impressions that lead to an attitude of victimhood in my life. I turn from it. I refuse to be a victim any longer. I choose to rely and live on the truth of Your Word that says I am more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37) rather than a victim, through the One who loves me and gave Himself for me. Let me live a victorious life from this moment on instead of entertaining any thoughts of victimhood.
Prayer to release the illusion of control
Mighty God, for too long I have wanted to be in control, tried to be in control and cherished the illusion that I am in control. I release myself and my illusions into Your hands. By Your grace, I surrender my need to feel in control, and embrace the truth that You are in control and that I can control only my inner life and not my outward circumstances—and certainly not other people. Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot control, courage to change the few things I can (my thoughts and actions) and wisdom to know the difference.
Prayer to release fear
Father, I give my fear to You. I have been crippled and poisoned by fear for too long. I reject it. I release it. I choose faith instead of fear, believing in Your good plans for me. I choose love instead of fear, trusting that Your “perfect love” will cast out all fear (1 John 4:18). I choose Your light and truth instead of fear, accepting Your Word, which says I “need not fear terror that stalks in the night, the arrow that flies in the day, plague that strikes in the darkness, or calamity that destroys at noon,” because you are with me (Psalm 91:5-6, ISV).
Prayer to release a loved one
Lord God, I release ______ into your care. You know all my love and concern for (him/her). I know that You share that love and concern, so I release (him/her) into Your hands. Help me to find healthy and helpful ways to love and care and pray for (him/her), even as I learn to trust You to see all I cannot see and do what I cannot do.
Prayer to release anger, resentment and bitterness
God, hear me and answer me. You know I am troubled by thoughts and feelings of anger, resentment and bitterness. You also know why. And You know how deep the hurt goes and how long I have lived with it. But I don’t want to live with it any longer. I don’t want to be an angry, resentful and bitter person. With Your help, I release my anger into Your hands. I surrender my resentment. I let go of my bitterness. Help me to keep letting go and release these toxic emotions as often as they try to return.
7 Prayers of Release BOB HOSTETLER 4 MIN READ
When it comes to feelings that cripple–like anger, fear, victimhood and dependency–Guideposts blogger Bob Hostetler offer 7 prayers for their release.
I once practiced a simple prayer exercise with friends to release the pain we had suffered together. We imagined writing down on a sheet of paper all the hurtful words and actions others had aimed at us. Then, in our minds’ eyes, we folded that page into a tiny paper boat such as a child might make. Then we lowered that boat onto the surface of a stream and watched the current carry away all that had been said and done against us. It was a helpful exercise, a prayer of release.
Some things are easier than others to let go, of course. Some things require great effort—and prayer—before we can be free of them. But that “paper sailboat” exercise can be adapted to any number of situations, such as the following:
Step 4: Renounce Pride, Rebellion and Self-Centeredness
SAY THIS:
Lord God, I know that pride is an abomination to you. I repent for and renounce pride, rebellion, disobedience, stubbornness and self-centeredness. I humble myself and come to You as a little child and ask for forgiveness and deliverance. Father God, I reject all of the pride that keeps me from seeing you clearly. Also, as your word says that new converts must not teach, (1 Timothy 3:6) I come against all lingering pride in my life that would lead me to turn around and teach as a brand new convert.
1 Tim 3:6 – He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
I break all pride off of my soul that would lead me onto more deceptive paths and away from quiet study of the scriptures, fasting, deliverance and prayer. I break all curses of pride and the spirit of leviathan from my life in the name of Jesus. I bind leviathan and all proud spirits arrayed against my life (Job 41:5). Lord, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I bring down the proud demons that have exalted themselves against Your people. In Jesus Name, I rip the scales of leviathan (Job 41:15), I release the sword of the Lord against leviathan (Isaiah 27:1), I break the strength of leviathan’s neck (Psalm 18:40), I break the stony heart of leviathan and crush it to pieces (Job 41:24).
God, you resist the proud. Your power is against the high ones who have rebelled against You. Lord God, scatter the proud in the imagination of their hearts. Let not the foot of pride come against me (Psalm 36:11). Lord, I break the crown of pride (Isaiah 28:1) in Jesus Christ’s Mighty Name. Lord God, let not leviathan oppress me (Psalm 119:122). Lord, raise up a watch over leviathan (Job 7:12). I bind and cast out all mind control spirits of the octopus and squid in the name of Christ Jesus. Let the waters of the pride of the deep be dried up, and destroy every spirit of leviathan (Job 41:31, Isaiah 44:27). I call for a drought upon leviathan’s waters (Jeremiah 50:38, Jeremiah 51:36) in Jesus’ Mighty Name! Amen.
Step 3: Confess Sins Then Forgive Those Who Have Harmed You
Matthew 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
SAY THIS:
Father I understand the necessity of forgiving others so that you can offer me forgiveness. I also understand that the spiritual war is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and wickedness in heavenly places. So I choose to forgive all those who have harmed me. You say to bless and not curse Lord, and it says in your Word that YOU have cursed those who curse your people. I shall continue forgiving ALL abusers, slanderers, accusers and anyone causing me harm and I will not take offense nor punish others in retribution in Jesus’ name.
Vengeance belongs to you God, not me. I forgive everyone who has hurt me and pray that they come to bow their knees to you and come to know the knowledge of the Truth that will set them free. In Jesus’ name, I loose myself from all pain, betrayal, rejection, abuse, trauma, shame, guilt and abandonment, as it is not mine to carry. It has already been nailed to the cross at Calvary!
I now take hold of the power given to me by Jesus Christ to loose myself from all yokes of resentment, hatred, desire for revenge and every other malicious thought. And I bind myself to the bundle of life with the Lord my redeemer, my sanctifier, my deliverer, the strong One who sees, my victory banner, my Dayspring.
Father, as I forgive myself and others, thank you that you forgive me. For in Matthew 6:14 it says, if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Step 2: Confess Your Freedom in Christ Jesus & Receive the Holy Spirit Indwelling
SAY THIS:
By accepting salvation through the blood shed by Jesus Christ at Calvary, I am now an adopted child of God. I believe in the Living God, I believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God and his life, death and resurrection.
Heavenly Father, as a believer in Jesus Christ, I come to You to receive the Holy Spirit. Your Word says, “how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him” (Lk 11:13). I now make spiritual legal demand of what is due me according to Your Word for you to give me the Holy Spirit. I thank You as I believe that I receive (Mk 11:24) the Holy Spirit into me now. I thank You that the Holy Spirit has come to dwell in my spirit now, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Jeremiah found the Word of God and did eat it, and it became the joy of his heart. I have found the Word of God and as I read the scriptures with revelation by the Holy Sprit, let it produce within me the power to rejoice in the Holy Spirit, the power to be steadfast in following God, the power to walk circumspectly, the power of holy living and the power of unashamed faithfulness in all circumstances.
Let the joy of the Lord strengthen me. Let His right hand of righteousness uphold me. Let His countenance brighten up my life. Let the horn of His salvation lift me up out of the valley of life and let His living anointing fan on me like the dew of Hermon and fill me with life. Father God, as it is written that I should be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, I ask that You be my might and strength all the days of my life. Gird me with Your strength and let me not fall into the pit of enemies. Oh Lord, let it be performed unto me as I have prayed, in Jesus Christ’s Holy and Mighty Name. Amen.
Gal 6:17 – From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
