Ask Jesus to touch your whole life, not just one part of it

Ask Jesus to change only what other people can already see

Wait until you feel fully worthy before you ask for more

Keep the private parts of your life untouched

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and tried to hold back from your lordship. I turn from my sin and trust that you died for me and rose again. You are Lord, and I ask you to cleanse my whole life, not just the parts I feel comfortable giving you. Come into my life and make me yours. Amen.

Open My Whole Life to You

Lord, revive your Church so we do not settle for partial devotion. Give us Peter's honesty, humility, and hunger for your work in every part of us. Cleanse us from guarded hearts and teach us to welcome your touch in every area of life, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Our Wholehearted Surrender

Lord, thank you that you do not turn away when we ask for more of your work in our lives. Thank you that your care reaches beyond what is visible or comfortable. Teach me to be grateful for your cleansing and your patient love, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Welcoming Honest Requests

Pray by naming one part of your life you have only partly offered to Jesus. Ask him to touch that area, then ask for one clear next step of obedience today.

Pray Over One Untouched Area

Bring these to God: the places where you want to keep control; the fear of being fully known; the desire for deeper cleansing; a willingness to let Jesus shape every part of your life.

Growing in Whole-Life Surrender

Pray for: a believer who is resisting surrender; someone who wants only a small change instead of full trust; a church learning to welcome Jesus into every part of life.

Pray for Those Holding Back
