A prayer for healing damaged emotions [See * Book reference below...]
Father, in the name of Jesus, I come to you with a feeling of shame and emotional hurt. I confess my transgressions to you [continuously unfolding the past to all is told]. You are faithful in just to forgive me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness. You are my Hiding Place, and You, Lord, preserved me from trouble. You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. I have chosen life. According to your word, you saw me while I was being formed in my mother's womb, and on the authority of Your Word, I was wonderfully made. Now I am your handiwork, created in Christ JesusFather, You have delivered me from the spirit of fear, and I shall not be ashamed. Neither shall I be confounded and depressed. You gave me beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that I might be a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that You might be glorified. I speak out in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, offering praise with my voice and making melody with all my heart to the Lord. Just as David did in 1 Samuel 30:6, I encourage myself in the Lord.
I believe in God Who raised from the dead Jesus, Who was betrayed and put to death because of my misdeeds and was raised to secure my acquittal, absolving me from all guilt before God. Father, you annointed Jesus in sent him to bind up and heal my broken heart and liberate me from the shame of my youth in the imperfections of my caretakers. In the name of Jesus, I choose to forgive all those who have wronged me in anyway. You will not leave me without support as I complete the forgiveness process. I take comfort and am encouraged and confidently say, "The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm. What can man do to me?
My spirit is the candle of the Lord searching all the innermost parts of my being, and the Holy Spirit leads me into all truth. When realities exposes shame and emotional pain, I remember that the sufferings of this present life are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to me and for me and conferred on me! The chastisement needed to obtain my peace and well being was upon Jesus, and with the stripes that wounded Him, I was healed and made whole. As your child, Father, I have a joyful in confident hope of eternal salvation. This hope will never disappoint, delude, or shame me, for God's love has been poured out in my heart through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to me .
In his name I pray, Amen
