Holy Spirit, I yield to you.

 Holy Spirit, I Yield to You

A Prayer of Surrender to the Spirit's Leading

Holy Spirit, I yield to You—not in reluctance or defeat,

But in the joyful offering of a heart made complete.

I lay down my will, my plans, my pride,

And invite You to come and abide.

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord. (Zechariah 4:6)

I yield my mind—take every anxious thought,

Every worry that the enemy has brought.

Let Your truth replace the lies I’ve believed,

And let me in Your perfect peace be received.

I yield my heart—the wellspring of desire,

Let it be purified, refined by holy fire.

Remove the stone of stubbornness, of pride,

And let gentleness and love there abide.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)

I yield my body—a temple of Your grace,

Let every member serve You in this holy place.

My hands, my feet, my lips, my eyes—

Let them be instruments of heaven, not of lies.

I yield my future—the unknown, the unclear,

For You, O Spirit, have promised to be near.

Lead me in the everlasting way,

And teach me, step by step, to trust and obey.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14)

So I bow beneath Your gentle hand.

Not as a slave, but as one who understands

That yielding to You is the path to true liberty.

Holy Spirit, I yield. Have Your way in me.

Amen.
