Deliverance Prayer

Here is a poem of deliverance, a prayer to God, woven with the promises of Scripture.

A Cry for Deliverance

From depths unseen, from chains that bind, The fears that haunt my troubled mind, From ancient wounds that still hold sway, I cry to You,my God, today. “Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!”(Psalm 130:1)

Tear down the walls the enemy built, On foundations of deceit and guilt. Let every stronghold lose its power, In this,my desperate hour. “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”(2 Corinthians 10:4)

Break off the yoke, snap every cord, By the authority of Christ,my Lord. Let captives,now in You, be free, As You have promised faithfully. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free; stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”(Galatians 5:1)

Let Your light pierce the darkest night, Expose the wrong,make right the right. Be a fire that purges,refines, And clearly marks the boundary lines. “But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.”(Luke 11:20)

I stand upon the Solid Rock, No more to dread the enemy’s knock. Your blood,a seal upon my soul, Has made me miraculously whole. “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”(John 8:36)

I take Your helmet, shield, and sword, The living,sharp, and powerful Word. I speak Your truth against the lie, And watch the fleeing foe defy. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”(James 4:7)

You are my Deliverer, my might, My passage through the sea of night. You split the waters,made a way, For me to see the dawn of day. “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer.”(Psalm 18:2)

So I declare that I am free, By Your great love that ransomed me. This prayer,a shout of victory won, By You,my God, the Holy One. “ ‘I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.’ ”(Jeremiah 15:21)
