Holy Spirit, have your ways in my life.

 Holy Spirit, Have Your Way in My Life

A Prayer of Surrender to the Spirit's Leading

Holy Spirit, have Your way in my life—not my will, but Yours,

Not my plans, my dreams, my striving, but the peace that endures.

Come as the wind that blows where it chooses, unseen yet strong,

Come as the fire that purifies and fills me with new song.

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8)

Have Your way in my thoughts—capture every straying mind.

Let the mind of Christ be formed in me, gentle and kind.

Where anxiety whispers, speak Your peace;

Where doubt takes root, let faith increase.

Have Your way in my heart—melt the cold and stubborn stone.

Let the fruit of love, joy, peace, and patience be made known.

Uproot the weeds of bitterness, unforgiveness, pride.

Let humility and grace in every corner abide.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self‑control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Have Your way in my words—let them speak life, not death.

Let them carry grace to the weary, hope to those without breath.

Silence the gossip, the complaint, the careless jest.

Let my mouth be a fountain of blessing, not a troubled rest.

Have Your way in my hands and feet—let them serve, let them go

Where You lead, without questioning, without fear, without woe.

Use my ordinary moments for extraordinary grace.

Let Your Spirit’s power be seen on my common, everyday face.

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses.” (Acts 1:8)

Have Your way in my worship—let it not be stale or cold.

Let Your Spirit’s river rise, a story yet untold.

In spirit and in truth I bow; I yield my all to You.

Holy Spirit, have Your way—make me faithful, make me new.

Not my comfort, but Your glory. Not my ease, but Your will.

Let Your holy fire consume me; let my heart be ever still

To Your leading, to Your prompting, to Your quiet, gentle voice.

Holy Spirit, have Your way—in You I will rejoice.

Amen.
