Aligning under the covering of the Lord
When we become a believer, our spirit connects to God’s Holy Spirit. We are tripartite beings, which means our souls and bodies also need to be aligned. Here is a sample prayer to provide you with a foundation from which to pray when you sense there is a part of you that is out of alignment and needs to come back under the wings of the Lord. “…under His wings I will find refuge.” – Psalm 91:4
Lord,
I bless my spirit and
I command it to come under
the authority of the Holy Spirit.
I bless my soul
(my mind, will & emotions)
and I command it to come under
the authority of my spirit.
I bless my body and
I command it to line up under
the authority of my soul.
Keep me in perfect alignment:
my spirit under Your Holy Spirit,
my soul under my spirit and
my body under my soul.
Holy Spirit, come and flow freely through me, so that others may
see You in me and that I may
know Your will for my life.
In Jesus’ precious name, amen.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” – Psalm 139:23-24
