The Renunciation Prayer

D1 — The Battle Within — Session 3 of 5

When you identify an enemy attack using the simple test, respond immediately with the renunciation prayer: "In the name of Jesus, I renounce doubt. I renounce despair. I renounce narcissism." Then turn to God: "Lord, I trust you. I hope in you. I choose to love." This simple prayer is remarkably effective because it names the attack and asserts your freedom in Christ.

"In the name of Jesus, I renounce _____. I renounce _____. I renounce _____." (doubt, despair, narcissism) "Lord, I _____ you. I _____ in you. I choose to _____." (trust, hope, love)

Write the renunciation prayer on a card and carry it with you. The next time you feel doubt, despair, or self-absorption creeping in, pray it immediately — even silently on the bus.
