Pray for Grace to Preserve you from Sin

Petition 3.25 | KJV

I must pray for grace to preserve me from sin and all appearances of it and approaches towards it.

Now I pray to God that I may do no evil, 2 Corinthians 13:7(KJV) but may be blameless and harmless, as a child of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. Philippians 2:15(KJV)

Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. Psalm 119:37(KJV) Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me thy law graciously. Psalm 119:29(KJV)

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with them that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties. Psalm 141:4(KJV)

O cleanse me from my secret faults; keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins: Let not them have dominion over me, but let me be upright and innocent from the great transgressions; Psalm 19:12-13(KJV) and grant that hereby I may prove myself upright before thee, by keeping myself from my own iniquity. Psalm 18:23(KJV)

Let thy word be hid in my heart, that I may not sin against thee; Psalm 119:11(KJV) and thy grace be at all times sufficient for me, 2 Corinthians 12:9(KJV) ready to me, and mighty in me; and never give me up to my own heart’s lust, to walk in my own counsel. Jeremiah 7:24(KJV)

Enable me to walk circumspectly, not as a fool but as wise, Ephesians 5:15(KJV) so circumspectly, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion to blaspheme that worthy name by which I am called; James 2:7(KJV) and with well-doing may I put to silence the ignorance of foolish men, 1 Peter 2:15(KJV) and may I adorn the doctrine of God my Saviour in all things. Titus 2:10(KJV)

Pray for the Grace of Hope

Petition 3.24 | KJV

I must pray for the grace of hope; a hope in God and Christ, and a hope of eternal life.

Let patience work experience in me, and experience, hope, such a hope as maketh not ashamed. Romans 5:4-5(KJV) Through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, let me have hope, Romans 15:4(KJV) and be saved by hope. Romans 8:24(KJV)

Let the God of Jacob be my help, and my hope always be in the Lord my God. Psalm 146:5(KJV)

Let me be begotten again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 1:3(KJV) and let that hope be to me as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, entering into that within the veil, whither the Forerunner is for me entered. Hebrews 6:19-20(KJV)

Let me have Christ in me the hope of glory, Colossians 1:27(KJV) and never be moved away from that hope of the gospel; Colossians 1:23(KJV) but enable me to give diligence unto the full assurance of hope unto the end. Hebrews 6:11(KJV)

Pray for the Graces of Contentment and Patience

Petition 3.23 | KJV

I must pray for the graces of contentment and patience, and a holy indifferency to all the things of sense and time.

Lord, teach me whatsoever state I am in therewith to be content; let me know how to be abased and how to abound; every where and in all things, let me be instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. Philippians 4:11-12(KJV) And let godliness with contentment be great gain to me, 1 Timothy 6:6(KJV) and a little with the fear of the Lord and quietness, be better than a great treasure and trouble therewith. Proverbs 15:16(KJV)

Lord, grant that my conversation may be without covetousness, and I may always be content with such things as I have, Hebrews 13:5(KJV) still saying, The will of the Lord be done. Acts 21:14(KJV)

Enable me in my patience to possess my own soul; Luke 21:19(KJV) and let patience always have its perfect work, that I may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4(KJV)

Lord, give me grace to weep as though I wept not, and to rejoice as though I rejoiced not, and to possess as though I possessed not, and to use the world as not abusing it, because the time is short, and the fashion of this world passeth away. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31(KJV)
