The Rip and Tear

I've heard some powerful prayers in my life.

There have been times when in church an individual would come up to the altar and talk with the pastor, and he would have the church pray as a unit for the person.
Prayers for healing can be hard to get through with dry eyes.
I have gone through buckets of tears when praying for a lost friend or family member.

Although all of these can and have a major impact on my life, I believe the most powerful prayer is truly that of the Rip and Tear.

This kind of prayer is not often prayed, but is applicable to all people, because the question it gives to God is that He will take from your life anything that He deems unacceptable or unnecessary from your life.
If you pray this prayer, you should be forewarned that if you truly want this to happen, and ask God to "rip and tear" these harmful things from your life, He will do it. He created you to be ALL His, and if you surrender to what His desire is for your life, He will use you for His ends.

His ends and means are both justified, so there is no need to worry about either. If you are ready to surrender, pray for God to literally take away both the sinful nature you were born with and the sins that you commit on a regular basis, and He will rescue from these, and you will never be the same.

Just as William Cowper stated, "Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint on his knees."
