Method for Prayer NIV First Person

Pray for Grace to Fit you for Heaven

Petition 3.38 | NIV

I must pray for grace to fit me for heaven, and that I may at length be put in possession of eternal life.

Lord, qualify me to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light; Colossians 1:12(NIV) let God himself work me to this very purpose, and give me the Spirit as a deposit in my heart, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 Corinthians 5:5(NIV)

O that I may now have my citizenship in heaven and may eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus, who will transform my lowly body so that it will be like his glorious body. Philippians 3:20-21(NIV)

O that I may set my mind on things above, and that my life may be hidden with Christ in God; that when Christ, who is my life, appears, I also may appear with him in glory; Colossians 3:2-4(NIV) that when he appears, I may be like him, may see him as he is, 1 John 3:2(NIV) may see his face in righteousness, and when I awake, may be satisfied with seeing his likeness. Psalm 17:15(NIV)

When I am gone, let me be welcomed into eternal dwellings, Luke 16:9(NIV) in the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God; Hebrews 11:10(NIV) that I may be together with the Lord forever, 1 Thessalonians 4:17(NIV) to see as I am seen and know as I am fully known; 1 Corinthians 13:12(NIV) and, in the meantime, help me to encourage others with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:18(NIV) And having this hope in me, may I purify myself, just as Christ is pure. 1 John 3:3(NIV)

And now, may my Lord Jesus Christ himself and God my Father, who loved me and by his grace gave me eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage my heart and strengthen me in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17(NIV)

Pray for Grace to Fit you for Heaven

Petition 3.38 | ESV

We must pray for grace to fit us for heaven, and that we may at length be put in possession of eternal life.

Lord, qualify me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light; Colossians 1:12(ESV) let God himself prepare me for this very thing, and give me the Spirit as a guarantee in my heart. 2 Corinthians 5:5(ESV)

O that I may know that my citizenship is in heaven, and that from there, with comfort, I await a Savior, the Lord Jesus, who shall transform my lowly body to be like his glorious body. Philippians 3:20-21(ESV)

O that I may set my mind on things that are above, and that my life may be hidden with Christ in God; that when Christ, who is my life, shall appear, I also may appear with him in glory; Colossians 3:2-4(ESV) that when he shall appear, I may be like him, may see him as he is, 1 John 3:2(ESV) may behold his face in righteousness, and when I awake, may be satisfied with his likeness. Psalm 17:15(ESV)

When I fail, let me be received into the eternal dwellings, Luke 16:9(KJV) in the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God; Hebrews 11:10(ESV) that I may always be together with the Lord, 1 Thessalonians 4:17(ESV) to see as I am seen and know as I have been fully known; 1 Corinthians 13:12(ESV) and, in the meantime, help me to encourage myself and others with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:18(ESV) And hoping in Christ, may I purify myself as he is pure. 1 John 3:3(ESV)

And now, may my Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God my Father, who loved me and gave me eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort my heart and establish it in every good work and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17(ESV)
