Confronting Long-Standing, Stubborn Strongholds - Spiritual Warfare Prayer

Avinu Malkeinu, Heavenly Father,

I come before You in reverence, humility, and faith.

You are Hashem, the Holy One of Israel, the Creator of heaven and earth, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You alone are God. You are mighty in power, righteous in judgment, abundant in mercy, faithful to Your covenant, and steadfast in Your lovingkindness.

I bow my heart before You.

I acknowledge that the battle belongs to You.

Your Word declares:

“The battle is Hashem’s.”
— 1 Samuel 17:47

Therefore, I do not enter this spiritual battle trusting in my own strength, intelligence, emotions, personality, or ability. I come trusting You.

I place myself beneath Your authority.

I place my household beneath Your authority.

I place my future beneath Your authority.

I place every area of my life beneath Your authority.

Let Your name be sanctified in me.

Let Your Kingdom advance.

Let Your righteousness be established.

Let Your truth prevail.

And above everything else, let the Father be glorified through Yeshua the Messiah.

I. I Recognize Who You Are

Hashem, You are my refuge and my fortress.

Your Word says:

“God is my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield, my mighty defender.”
— Psalm 18:3

So I take refuge in You.

I refuse to build my confidence upon circumstances.

I refuse to build my confidence upon human approval.

I refuse to build my confidence upon what I can see.

I refuse to assume that because an obstacle has existed for a long time, it must remain forever.

You are greater than every obstacle.

You are greater than every wall.

You are greater than every entrenched pattern.

You are greater than every intimidating circumstance.

You are greater than every history of failure.

You are greater than every human limitation.

You are greater than every power that exalts itself against Your purposes.

Hashem, You are the One who makes a way where there appears to be no way.

You declared:

“Behold, I am doing a new thing;
Now it shall spring forth;
Will you not know it?
I am making a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.”
— Isaiah 43:19

Therefore, I believe that no wilderness is too barren for You to make a road through it.

No desert is too dry for You to bring refreshing.

No wall is too old for You to command it to come down.

No obstacle is too stubborn for Your authority.

No situation is beyond Your ability to redeem.

II. I Submit Myself to Hashem

Father, before I confront anything outside myself, I ask You to search me.

David prayed:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any hurtful way in me,
and lead me in the everlasting way.”
— Psalm 139:23–24

So I make that prayer my own.

Search me, Hashem.

Expose what needs to be exposed.

Correct what needs to be corrected.

Cleanse what needs to be cleansed.

Heal what needs to be healed.

Teach me what needs to be learned.

Remove pride from me.

Remove bitterness from me.

Remove rebellion from me.

Remove fear from me.

Remove hatred from me.

Remove unforgiveness from me.

Remove deception from me.

Remove every agreement with falsehood.

If I have participated in patterns that strengthened the very obstacles I am asking You to remove, give me courage to repent.

I do not want deliverance without transformation.

I do not want victory without obedience.

I do not want breakthrough without righteousness.

I want Your will.

I want Your truth.

I want Your Kingdom.

I want Your name glorified.

III. I Put My Trust in Hashem

Father, Your Word says:

“Trust in Hashem with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.”
— Proverbs 3:5–6

Therefore, I trust You even when I do not understand the battle.

I trust You when the obstacle looks larger than I expected.

I trust You when the situation has persisted longer than I wanted.

I trust You when I cannot see the solution.

I trust You when the door has remained closed.

I trust You when the mountain appears immovable.

I trust You when the history of the situation tells me, “Nothing will ever change.”

I answer that voice with faith:

Hashem is God.

My circumstances are not God.

My history is not God.

My fear is not God.

The obstacle is not God.

The enemy is not God.

Hashem alone is God.

IV. I Stand Under the Authority of Yeshua

Father, I thank You for Yeshua the Messiah.

I acknowledge Yeshua as Your Messiah and King.

I receive His words as instruction and truth.

Yeshua declared:

“With God all things are possible.”
— Matthew 19:26

Therefore, I refuse to place limits upon what You can accomplish.

Yeshua taught:

“Have faith in God.”
— Mark 11:22

So I choose faith.

Not superstition.

Not presumption.

Not fear.

Not manipulation.

Faith in God.

Yeshua also taught:

“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
— Mark 11:24

Therefore, I bring my petitions before You with confidence while submitting every outcome to Your wisdom and will.

V. I Confront the Stronghold

Now, in reverence for Hashem and under the authority of the God of Israel, I confront the long-standing obstacle before me.

I will not worship it.

I will not magnify it.

I will not call it greater than my God.

I will not allow its age to convince me that it possesses permanent authority.

I will not allow its persistence to become my identity.

I will not allow repeated disappointment to become my theology.

I will not allow yesterday's defeat to dictate tomorrow's expectation.

I speak directly to the obstacle:

You are not my God.

You are not my master.

You are not my final destination.

You do not determine the limits of Hashem's power.

You do not have the authority to overturn the purposes of the Holy One of Israel.

If you are a wall standing between me and what God has commanded me to pursue, I refuse to bow before you.

If you are a pattern of fear, I refuse to submit to fear.

If you are a pattern of discouragement, I refuse to accept discouragement as my identity.

If you are a pattern of defeat, I refuse to call defeat permanent.

If you are an ungodly pattern in my life, I repent and turn from it.

If you are an unjust circumstance, I bring the matter before the righteous Judge.

If you are an intimidating mountain, I remember the Word of Hashem.

Zechariah proclaimed:

“Who are you, O great mountain before Zerubbabel?
You shall become a plain!”
— Zechariah 4:7

Therefore, I speak to the mountain before me with unwavering faith:

Become a plain according to the will and purpose of Hashem.

VI. I Declare That the Mountain Does Not Have the Final Word

Yeshua taught:

“Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.”
— Mark 11:23

Therefore, Father, teach me to speak to obstacles without worshiping obstacles.

Teach me to confront problems without becoming consumed by them.

Teach me to resist fear without becoming reckless.

Teach me to exercise authority while remaining submitted to You.

I declare:

Mountain, you are not greater than my God.

Wall, you are not greater than my God.

Obstacle, you are not greater than my God.

Delay, you are not greater than my God.

Opposition, you are not greater than my God.

Long-standing pattern, you are not greater than my God.

The God who opened the sea can make a way.

The God who brought Israel out of Egypt can deliver.

The God who sustained Israel in the wilderness can sustain me.

The God who brought water from the rock can provide what I cannot produce.

The God who brought down Jericho can deal with fortified opposition.

The God who restored Jerusalem can rebuild what has been broken.

VII. I Remember Jericho

Father, I remember Jericho.

Human beings saw walls.

You saw an opportunity to demonstrate Your power.

Your Word says:

“The wall fell down flat.”
— Joshua 6:20

I therefore refuse to assume that a wall's appearance proves its permanence.

Some walls require patience.

Some require repentance.

Some require wisdom.

Some require obedience.

Some require persistent prayer.

Some require practical action.

Some require leaving an unhealthy environment.

Some require reconciliation.

Some require waiting.

Some require courage.

But I trust You to show me what kind of response is required.

Give me discernment.

Do not allow me to mistake emotional intensity for spiritual authority.

Do not allow me to call disobedience spiritual warfare.

Do not allow me to attack people when the real issue is a pattern, circumstance, temptation, injustice, or deception.

Give me wisdom to distinguish between the person and the problem.

Let me confront obstacles without hatred.

Let me resist evil without becoming evil.

Let me pursue justice without abandoning mercy.

Let me speak truth without pride.

Let me exercise courage without cruelty.

VIII. I Refuse to Fight Flesh and Blood as My Enemy

Father, teach me to see clearly.

I will not make human beings my ultimate enemy.

I will not curse people.

I will not dehumanize people.

I will not seek revenge.

Your Word says:

“Do not say, ‘I will repay evil’;
put your hope in Hashem, and He will save you.”
— Proverbs 20:22

And Yeshua taught:

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
— Matthew 5:44

Therefore, even when I must confront opposition, I refuse hatred.

I bless where I can bless.

I pray where I can pray.

I forgive where I can forgive.

I establish boundaries where boundaries are necessary.

I pursue justice where justice is required.

I speak truth where truth must be spoken.

But I leave vengeance in Your hands.

IX. I Raise the Shield of Yeshua's Blood

Father, I thank You for the Messiah.

I place my trust in Your provision of redemption through Yeshua.

I speak of the shield of Yeshua's blood not as a magical formula, but as a declaration that my confidence is in the redemptive work You have provided through Your Messiah.

Let the blood of Yeshua remind me of redemption.

Let it remind me of mercy.

Let it remind me that sin does not have to remain my master.

Let it remind me that accusation does not define me.

Let it remind me that I belong to You.

Let it remind me that Your covenant faithfulness is greater than my failures.

Let the remembrance of Messiah's sacrifice humble me rather than make me proud.

Father, cover me with Your mercy.

Guard my heart.

Guard my mind.

Guard my household.

Guard my steps.

Guard me from deception.

Guard me from pride.

Guard me from retaliation.

Guard me from spiritual arrogance.

Guard me from fear.

X. Let the Fire of God Purify Me

Hashem, let Your holy fire do its work in me.

Your Word says:

“For our God is a consuming fire.”
— Deuteronomy 4:24

Therefore, let Your fire burn away everything that does not belong in me.

Burn away falsehood.

Burn away arrogance.

Burn away resentment.

Burn away bitterness.

Burn away compromise.

Burn away cowardice.

Burn away spiritual laziness.

Burn away destructive habits.

Burn away every counterfeit refuge.

Burn away every false source of security.

Burn away every agreement I have made with fear.

Burn away every thought that contradicts Your truth.

Yet let Your fire purify rather than destroy what You desire to preserve.

As the prophet Isaiah declared:

“He will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver.”
— Malachi 3:3

Refine me, Father.

Make me useful.

Make me faithful.

Make me humble.

Make me courageous.

Make me obedient.

Make me a vessel through which Your goodness can be displayed.

XI. I Break Agreement With the Lie That Nothing Can Change

I reject the lie that because something has existed for years, it must exist forever.

Hashem can change seasons.

Hashem can open doors.

Hashem can restore.

Hashem can redirect.

Hashem can redeem.

Hashem can resurrect what appears dead.

Your Word declares:

“Is anything too wondrous for Hashem?”
— Genesis 18:14

Therefore, I ask:

Hashem, show me what You want changed.

Show me what I must surrender.

Show me what I must confront.

Show me what I must stop doing.

Show me what I must begin doing.

Show me where I must wait.

Show me where I must move.

Show me where I must speak.

Show me where I must remain silent.

Show me where I must forgive.

Show me where I must establish a boundary.

Show me where I need wise counsel.

Show me where repentance is necessary.

Give me discernment to recognize the difference.

XII. I Speak to Fear

Fear, I refuse to enthrone you.

You may knock on the door of my emotions, but you do not sit upon the throne of my heart.

Hashem says:

“Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not be frightened, for I am your God.”
— Isaiah 41:10

Therefore, I choose courage.

I will not allow fear to make my decisions.

I will not allow fear to define my future.

I will not allow fear to convince me that obedience is impossible.

I will not allow fear to make me abandon what God has placed before me.

Father, strengthen me.

XIII. I Speak to Discouragement

Discouragement, I refuse to become your servant.

I may experience disappointment, but disappointment will not become my identity.

I may experience delay, but delay will not become my god.

I may experience failure, but failure will not become my final word.

David declared:

“Why are you downcast, my soul?
Why are you restless within me?
Put your hope in God.”
— Psalm 42:6

So I speak to my own soul:

Hope in God.

Wait for God.

Trust God.

Remember God.

Praise God.

XIV. I Speak to Generational Patterns

Father, where destructive patterns have traveled through families, let Your truth interrupt them.

Where there has been violence, establish peace.

Where there has been addiction, establish self-control and freedom.

Where there has been hatred, establish reconciliation.

Where there has been deception, establish truth.

Where there has been poverty caused by destructive choices, establish wisdom, diligence, stewardship, and provision.

Where there has been abuse, establish protection, justice, healing, and righteous boundaries.

Where there has been idolatry, establish wholehearted devotion to You.

Where there has been spiritual confusion, establish truth.

Where there has been despair, establish hope.

Where there has been rebellion, establish repentance.

I will not use family history as an excuse for disobedience.

Neither will I allow family history to convince me that transformation is impossible.

Ezekiel declares:

“The soul that sins—it alone shall die.”
— Ezekiel 18:4

Therefore, I take responsibility for my own obedience before You.

I cannot control every decision made by those before me.

But I can choose what I will do today.

I can choose truth.

I can choose righteousness.

I can choose obedience.

I can choose forgiveness.

I can choose wisdom.

I can choose faithfulness.

XV. I Speak to Long-Standing Strongholds

Long-standing stronghold, I confront you without fear.

You may have history, but you do not have deity.

You may have familiarity, but familiarity does not make you rightful.

You may have persisted, but persistence does not make you permanent.

You may have intimidated others, but you will not determine my obedience to God.

You may have influenced patterns, but you do not own my future.

I bring you before Hashem.

I refuse to glorify you by constantly talking about your power.

Instead, I glorify the One who is greater.

The psalmist declares:

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we will call upon the name of Hashem our God.”
— Psalm 20:8

So I call upon Hashem.

Not the obstacle.

Not the fear.

Not the opposition.

Not the past.

Not the darkness.

Hashem.

XVI. I Declare the Greatness of God

Hashem, You are great.

You created the heavens.

You established the earth.

You divided the sea.

You delivered Israel.

You sustained Your people.

You brought water from the rock.

You caused walls to fall.

You raised up deliverance.

You humbled kings.

You preserved Your covenant.

You restored Your people.

You speak, and creation responds.

You command, and circumstances must ultimately answer to Your sovereign purpose.

Your Word declares:

“Ah, Lord Hashem! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm. Nothing is too wondrous for You.”
— Jeremiah 32:17

Therefore, I place my impossible circumstances before You.

Nothing is too wondrous for You.

XVII. I Ask for Wisdom to Confront the Obstacle Correctly

Father, I do not merely ask for the obstacle to disappear.

I ask for wisdom.

Solomon prayed:

“Give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, to distinguish between good and bad.”
— 1 Kings 3:9

Give me that kind of discernment.

If the obstacle requires prayer, teach me to pray.

If it requires repentance, give me humility.

If it requires confrontation, give me courage.

If it requires silence, give me restraint.

If it requires action, give me strength.

If it requires patience, give me endurance.

If it requires counsel, lead me to wise counselors.

If it requires a boundary, give me courage to establish it.

If it requires forgiveness, soften my heart.

If it requires separation from something destructive, give me courage to leave.

If it requires reconciliation, give me humility to pursue peace.

If it requires perseverance, keep me from quitting.

XVIII. I Put on the Character of the Kingdom

Father, let my warfare begin with righteousness.

Let my weapons be truth, prayer, obedience, faith, humility, wisdom, mercy, and perseverance.

Teach me to walk uprightly.

Your Word says:

“He has told you, O man, what is good,
and what Hashem requires of you:
only to do justice,
to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God.”
— Micah 6:8

Therefore, I will not claim spiritual authority while practicing unrighteousness.

I will not claim to destroy strongholds while harboring hatred.

I will not claim victory while refusing correction.

I will not claim faith while deliberately walking in disobedience.

Make my life agree with my prayer.

XIX. I Remember the Authority of Yeshua's Words

Yeshua said:

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”
— Matthew 28:18

Therefore, Father, I submit myself to the authority of the Messiah.

Let my words be governed by His teaching.

Let my conduct reflect His commandments.

Let my spiritual warfare produce greater obedience rather than greater pride.

Let everything I do point back to You.

Yeshua taught:

“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16

Father, this is my deepest desire:

Be glorified through my life.

Be glorified through my deliverance.

Be glorified through my restoration.

Be glorified through my testimony.

Be glorified through my obedience.

Be glorified through my family.

Be glorified through my work.

Be glorified through my relationships.

Be glorified through everything You entrust to me.

XX. I Declare That the Obstacle Will Not Receive My Worship

I refuse to spend more energy worshiping the size of the mountain than trusting the greatness of God.

I refuse to repeatedly rehearse the obstacle while neglecting the promises of Hashem.

I refuse to make fear my daily meditation.

Instead, I meditate upon Your Word.

The psalmist declares:

“I have set Hashem before me always.”
— Psalm 16:8

So I set You before me.

Before the mountain, You.

Before the wall, You.

Before the uncertainty, You.

Before the opposition, You.

Before the diagnosis of circumstances—You.

Before the difficult conversation—You.

Before the unknown future—You.

Before the decision—You.

Before the battle—You.

Hashem before me always.

XXI. I Ask You to Establish Your Kingdom

Father, establish Your Kingdom in me.

Establish Your Kingdom in my household.

Establish Your Kingdom in my relationships.

Establish Your Kingdom wherever You have given me influence.

Let righteousness replace confusion.

Let truth replace deception.

Let mercy replace bitterness.

Let holiness replace compromise.

Let courage replace fear.

Let wisdom replace foolishness.

Let peace replace unnecessary strife.

Let obedience replace rebellion.

Let worship replace idolatry.

Let hope replace despair.

Let Your Kingdom expand through Yeshua the Messiah.

Yeshua taught us to pray:

“Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.”
— Matthew 6:10

So I make this my prayer:

Your Kingdom come.

Your will be done.

Not merely my desired outcome.

Not merely my preferred timing.

Not merely my personal agenda.

Your will.

XXII. I Declare That Hashem Makes a Way

Father, Your Word says:

“Thus says Hashem, who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters.”
— Isaiah 43:16

Therefore, I believe You can make a way.

Where I see no road, You can make one.

Where I see no opening, You can create one.

Where I see no solution, You can reveal one.

Where I see only wilderness, You can establish a path.

Where I see only desert, You can bring rivers.

But I also trust You if the road You make looks different from the road I expected.

Your wisdom is greater than mine.

Your timing is greater than mine.

Your perspective is greater than mine.

Lead me.

XXIII. I Refuse to Give Up

Father, make me persistent.

Your Word says:

“Though he may fall seven times, he will rise again.”
— Proverbs 24:16

Therefore, if I fall, I will rise.

If I fail, I will learn.

If I am corrected, I will listen.

If I am delayed, I will wait.

If I become discouraged, I will return to You.

If I become afraid, I will remember Your promises.

If I become confused, I will seek wisdom.

If I become weary, I will seek Your strength.

I will not confuse a temporary setback with a permanent sentence.

XXIV. I Speak to the Ancient Wall

Ancient wall before me:

I acknowledge that you may be old.

But my God is eternal.

You may have survived previous attempts.

But that does not make you invincible.

You may have witnessed generations struggle.

But you will not receive my worship.

I bring you before the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

I bring you before the Holy One of Israel.

I bring you before the King of kings.

And I declare:

Hashem is greater.

If you are an obstacle that must fall, let it fall according to His command.

If you are an obstacle that requires my repentance, expose my sin.

If you are an obstacle that requires my obedience, strengthen me.

If you are an obstacle that requires wisdom, instruct me.

If you are an obstacle that requires patience, teach me to wait.

If you are an obstacle that requires courageous action, make me courageous.

But whatever the strategy, let the glory belong to You.

XXV. I Ask for Victory That Produces Holiness

Father, I do not merely want circumstances to change.

Change me.

If You remove the wall but I remain proud, I have learned nothing.

If You open the door but I remain disobedient, I have missed the deeper blessing.

If You give me prosperity but I lose righteousness, I have gained nothing of lasting value.

If You give me influence but I lose humility, protect me from that influence.

If You give me victory but I forget You, let me remember that every good gift comes from You.

Teach me to say with the psalmist:

“Not to us, Hashem, not to us,
but to Your name give glory.”
— Psalm 115:1

Not to me.

Not to my strength.

Not to my cleverness.

Not to my spiritual reputation.

To Your name be the glory.

XXVI. I Proclaim the Faithfulness of Hashem

I declare that You are faithful.

You do not abandon Your covenant.

You do not cease being God because I am afraid.

You do not become smaller because my problem is large.

You do not lose authority because circumstances are complicated.

You remain Hashem.

You remain holy.

You remain righteous.

You remain merciful.

You remain faithful.

The psalmist says:

“Hashem is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
Hashem is the stronghold of my life; whom shall I dread?”
— Psalm 27:1

Therefore, I choose not to bow to dread.

I choose to trust You.

XXVII. I Ask for Protection

Father, protect me from every form of deception.

Protect my mind.

Protect my emotions.

Protect my household.

Protect my decisions.

Protect my relationships.

Protect my calling.

Protect my resources.

Protect my testimony.

Protect me from making decisions based solely on anger.

Protect me from making decisions based solely on fear.

Protect me from manipulation.

Protect me from pride.

Protect me from spiritual deception.

Protect me from false accusations.

Protect me from unnecessary conflict.

Teach me to discern what is from You and what is not.

The psalmist declares:

“You, Hashem, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.”
— Psalm 3:4

Therefore, be my shield.

And let the remembrance of the blood of Yeshua stand as a testimony of redemption, mercy, and the salvation You provide through Your Messiah.

XXVIII. I Ask for Courage to Speak

Father, when You instruct me to speak, give me courage.

Let my words be truthful.

Let them be measured.

Let them be righteous.

Let them be free from hatred.

Let them be free from manipulation.

Let them be free from pride.

Let me speak directly to the obstacle without attacking people unnecessarily.

Let me say what needs to be said.

Let me refuse what needs to be refused.

Let me establish what needs to be established.

Let me confront what needs to be confronted.

Let me remain silent when silence is wiser.

Give me the wisdom of Proverbs:

“A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
— Proverbs 15:1

Let strength and gentleness operate together within me.

XXIX. I Ask for the Spirit of Perseverance

Father, strengthen me to keep walking.

Let me continue when progress seems slow.

Let me continue when the wall has not yet fallen.

Let me continue when the answer has not yet appeared.

Let me continue when others do not understand.

Let me continue when I must rebuild.

Let me continue when I must start again.

Let me continue because my confidence is in You.

Isaiah declares:

“Those who wait for Hashem shall renew their strength;
they shall soar on wings like eagles;
they shall run and not grow weary;
they shall walk and not faint.”
— Isaiah 40:31

Therefore, renew my strength.

XXX. I Declare a New Beginning

Father, I receive the truth of Isaiah 43:19:

“Behold, I am doing a new thing;
Now it shall spring forth;
Will you not know it?
I am making a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.”

I declare that the past will not become an idol.

I honor what I have learned.

I remember what You have done.

But I will not imprison myself inside yesterday.

I ask You to help me recognize what You are doing now.

Give me eyes to see.

Give me ears to hear.

Give me wisdom to understand.

Give me courage to follow.

Give me endurance to continue.

Give me humility to change.

Give me faith to believe.

XXXI. I Place Every Stronghold Into Your Hands

Now I surrender every stronghold to You.

Every stubborn obstacle.

Every recurring problem.

Every destructive pattern.

Every intimidating circumstance.

Every unresolved conflict.

Every place where fear has become entrenched.

Every place where discouragement has become entrenched.

Every place where deception has become entrenched.

Every place where sin has become entrenched.

Every place where injustice has persisted.

Every place where I have been unable to move forward.

I put it all before You.

I do not carry what You have asked me to surrender.

I do not attempt to control what belongs in Your hands.

I trust You.

XXXII. I Declare That God Gets the Glory

Father, when the wall falls, You get the glory.

When the road appears, You get the glory.

When restoration comes, You get the glory.

When repentance takes place, You get the glory.

When wisdom arrives, You get the glory.

When my household experiences peace, You get the glory.

When I overcome fear, You get the glory.

When I walk into a new season, You get the glory.

When You provide what I need, You get the glory.

When You deliver me from destructive patterns, You get the glory.

When You give me strength to endure something I cannot immediately change, You get the glory.

Even when Your answer is different from what I expected, You get the glory.

XXXIII. My Final Declaration

I belong to Hashem.

My hope is in Hashem.

My strength comes from Hashem.

My refuge is Hashem.

My shield is Hashem.

My salvation belongs to Hashem.

My future is in His hands.

I will not worship the mountain.

I will not worship the wall.

I will not worship the obstacle.

I will not worship the past.

I will not worship fear.

I will not worship circumstances.

I will worship Hashem, the God of Israel.

And I will place my faith in the Messiah, Yeshua.

I will walk in obedience.

I will pursue righteousness.

I will practice mercy.

I will seek wisdom.

I will forgive.

I will establish righteous boundaries.

I will speak truth.

I will resist fear.

I will persevere.

I will wait upon Hashem when He tells me to wait.

I will move when He tells me to move.

I will speak when He tells me to speak.

I will remain silent when He tells me to remain silent.

And I will remember:

“The battle is Hashem’s.”
— 1 Samuel 17:47

Therefore, I do not need to live intimidated by what stands before me.

My God is greater.

My God is faithful.

My God is righteous.

My God is merciful.

My God is holy.

My God is powerful.

My God is the Holy One of Israel.

And Yeshua has taught me:

“Have faith in God.”
— Mark 11:22

So I choose faith.

I choose obedience.

I choose courage.

I choose repentance.

I choose forgiveness.

I choose truth.

I choose perseverance.

I choose hope.

I choose to glorify the Father.

Let Your Kingdom come.

Let Your will be done.

Let Your name be sanctified.

Let Your righteousness increase.

Let Your truth prevail.

Let Your mercy be displayed.

Let Your people walk faithfully.

Let the nations see Your goodness.

Let everything You accomplish through my life point back to You.

Hashem, You alone receive the glory.

Hashem, You alone receive the honor.

Hashem, You alone receive the praise.

I stand before every long-standing obstacle without surrendering my faith.

I speak to every mountain with unwavering confidence in the God who created heaven and earth.

I refuse to magnify the wall.

I magnify the One who can bring it down.

I refuse to magnify the wilderness.

I magnify the One who makes roads through wilderness.

I refuse to magnify the desert.

I magnify the One who brings rivers into deserts.

I refuse to magnify the darkness.

I magnify the One who is my light.

I refuse to magnify the battle.

I magnify the God to whom the battle belongs.

Be glorified, Avinu Malkeinu.

Be glorified through my life.

Be glorified through my obedience.

Be glorified through my deliverance.

Be glorified through my restoration.

Be glorified through Yeshua the Messiah.

May Your Kingdom advance.

May Your name be exalted.

May Your will be accomplished.

And may every stronghold that stands contrary to Your righteous purposes be dealt with according to Your wisdom, Your authority, Your justice, Your mercy, and Your perfect will.

I place myself, my household, my future, my battles, my victories, and my unanswered questions into Your hands.

I trust You.

I surrender to You.

I worship You.

I obey You.

I wait for You.

And I declare with faith:

Hashem is God.

Hashem is my refuge.

Hashem is my strength.

Hashem is my shield.

Hashem is my deliverer.
