Dear Lord,
My enemy, that old thief, comes only to steal, kill, and destroy me. But You, Jesus, came to free me from his hand. You came so that I may have life and have it abundantly.
I cannot be captured by the evil one because my heart is free. My heart is free because my heart is where the Spirit of the Lord dwells. The Spirit of the Lord dwells in my heart because I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who has risen from the dead and has forgiven me of my sins. Because I believe and have been made new in Christ, the Spirit of the Lord rests His presence on me.
How glad I am that I have found this truth and that this truth has set me free not only from the enemy’s grasp but also from sin and death.
I will celebrate my freedom by living free. Help me, Lord, not to use my freedom as a screen to hide behind when I do evil. Prick my heart so I might change my ways because I want to use my freedom to serve You.
Christ has freed me so that I can enjoy the freedom He gave me. I will enjoy it, and I will be firm in this freedom so that I will not become a slave again.
Reveal the enemy’s traps and keep me free.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
