Lord, You’ve shown me that idols are not only things, but people.  You are jealous for my affection but my attachment to others has kept me from turning to You for what You alone can give me.  You want me to sever those soul ties, those unhealthy connections, which exist between me and other people.  I am not to be controlled, nor control, anyone else.  

I realize that I am tied to this other person just as surely as if a spiritual umbilical cord connected us.  Only You can sever that cord.  I want to be be free to put You at the center of my life.  Though that decision will be hurtful to them and they will feel a shift in our relationship, it is what honors you. Give me the strength to make the change, and give them the grace to also turn to You in their hurt and confusion.

You are my caretaker, the One to whom my soul belongs. So, in the name of Jesus, I sever the soul tie between me and _______________.  I repent for my unholy attachment to them and ask You to forgive me.  I render the soul tie with them null and void under the cross of Calvary.  Bind me to You, Lord.  I take all expectations off my past relationship with them and look to You for wholeness.  Amen
