A Bedtime Prayer
My dear Lord Jesus, I come to you now to be restored in you, to be renewed in you, to take
refuge in you. I honor you as my sovereign Lord, and I surrender every aspect of my life totally
and completely to you. I give you my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind, and will. I cover
myself with your blood, and I ask your Holy Spirit to restore me in you, renew me in you, and lead
this time of prayer.
I proclaim the kingdom of God and the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ over my home and all
things in it. [If you live in an apartment, use “apartment.” If you have only a room under your
authority in someone else’s home, use “my room.” If you share a room, use “my bunk” or “my side
of the room.”] I consecrate and sanctify my home and everything in it to the Lord Jesus Christ and
to the Kingdom of God. I bring the cross, resurrection, and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ
throughout my home tonight—through every object and furnishing, bed and bedding, all media
and icons, all books and magazines, movies and music, toys and games, through the atmosphere
in every room, throughout the ceilings, walls, floors, and all places in them, from the land beneath
to the roof above and all around this home tonight.
I take my place in the cross, resurrection, and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. I now bring the
authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and the fullness of the work of Christ against Satan and his
kingdom. I bring the cross, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ against every foul and
unclean spirit—every ruler, power, authority, and spiritual force of wickedness [you might need to
get specific: “Including all spirits of fear, death, torment, accusation,” etc. You know what’s been
attacking you. It has more power if you name them specifically.] I command every foul and
unclean spirit bound and banished from my home and from my household, with every backup and
replacement, every weapon and device, in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and in his name.
I now bring the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and the fullness of the work of Christ—his cross,
resurrection, and ascension—against every foul power, witchcraft, and black art. I cut them off in
the name of the Lord. No weapon forged against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). I bring the cross
and blood of Jesus Christ against every form of hex, vex, and incantation; against every spell,
ritual, vow, dedication, and sacrifice; against every word, judgment, and curse. I command them
broken and bound from my home this night in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I now bring the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and the fullness of the work of Christ between
me and all people—their spirit, soul, and body, their sin, warfare, and corruption. [It may help to
name those people now—extended family, folks you have been ministering to, anyone you know
is judging you.] I send every human spirit bound back to their body; I command all of their sin,
warfare, and corruption bound back to the work of Christ in their life, and I forbid it to transfer to
me.
I summon the angels of the Lord Jesus Christ and instruct them to build a shield of protection
around me and my home (Hebrews 1:14). I ask your Holy Spirit to fill my home with your
presence, with the peace of God and the love of Christ. I ask you to send forth your Spirit to raise
up prayer and intercession for me this night. I now call forth and command the Kingdom of God
and the authority, rule, and dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout my home and
throughout my household, all through the hours of this night and through the new day, in the
authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and in his name.
