Don't Forget To Say Your Prayers

Father God,

Thank you for the ministry and preaching that I heard on the subject of rejection recently. I didn’t realize that rejection opens the doors to so many evil spirits. It can lead to hurt, anger, rebellion, instability in one’s emotions, jealousy, and unforgiveness, just to name a few things. I recognize that I have suffered from rejection on both my mother’s side and on my father’s side as well. The emotional effects of rejection have been passed down through my family line, and I can now recognize the effect that it had on my life and on both of my children. Lord, I know that you want me to be stable in my emotions so I can bear the fruit that you speak about in Galatians 5:22. You desire that I receive your love and submit to my husband and other authority figures. I thank You that your Word says that “I’m accepted in the Beloved” (Ephesians 1:6). I don’t have to worry about you rejecting me because you also said in Psalm 27:10, “When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.” You, Heavenly Father, saw me and approved of me while I was still in my mother’s womb (Psalm 139:16). You gave me survival tools that have brought me to the place where I am today. You are a God who has been waiting for me to come to the knowledge of the truth. I don’t have to look to a man’s approval in order to be validated. Future rejection may hurt but it will be only for a season. You are my strength, You are my shield, You protect me from all of the fiery darts that the enemy hurls my way (Ephesians 6:16–17). Father, you are my High Priest. You are the one who understands and sympathizes with my weaknesses and infirmities. You are the one who has seen what the root of rejection has done to me and my family. I pray for mercy and grace to help me in my time of need. I ask you to forgive my sins. I receive your mercy and healing to dispel the rejection I am suffering and have suffered because of false accusations and negative words spoken by others. Father, Jesus was despised and rejected—a Man of Sorrows, acquainted with bitterness and grief. I thank You that your Son has redeemed me from every curse and sin by the power of His blood, through His resurrection. The Bible says that “Whom the Son has set free, is free indeed” (John 8:36). Thank you for delivering me from the root of rejection. Thank you for giving me a new heart. Help me to love you and others the way Christ loves us. Help me to let people, who have wronged me or spoken negative words over my life, off the hook. In the face of rejection, I will declare that “The Lord is my light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or be afraid of” (Psalm 27:1). I know that you Lord, are my vindicator. Your justice and mercy shall last forever and your salvation from generation to generation. In spite of the rejection I have experienced, I decree and declare that everything that you say about me in Your Word is true. “I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places” (Ephesians 1:3). I am your workmanship created in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:20). I release myself from all offenses past, present, and future and I walk in your eternal love.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen."
