Begin with this prayer:
O come, Rod of Jesse, the Lord of the heavens and all that I can see. I sit with You right now. I quiet my heart to listen to you. As I run the race you’ve set before me today, help me to look towards you who authored and are perfecting my faith. Set me free from the powers that hold me captive, from my own desires that trip me up. I look to You for victory.
Read these verses aloud several times or listen to the audio recording several times:
Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side—let Israel say—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
- On a separate piece of paper, write out a prayer about the areas where the Spirit has revealed some captivity in you.
