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)

Pray for the Grace of Self-Denial and Humility

Petition 3.22 | KJV

I must pray for the grace of self-denial.

Lord, give me grace to deny myself, to take up my cross daily, and to follow Christ, Matthew 16:24(KJV) to keep under the body and bring it into subjection. 1 Corinthians 9:27(KJV)

Lord, keep me from being a lover of my own self, 2 Timothy 3:2(KJV) from being wise in my own conceit and leaning to my own understanding. Proverbs 3:5(KJV)

Lord, give me to seek not my own only, but my brother’s welfare. 1 Corinthians 10:24(KJV)

And grant that I may not live to myself or die to myself, but whether I live or die, I may be the Lord’s, and may live and die to him. Romans 14:7-8(KJV)

I must pray for humility and meekness.

Lord, give me to learn of Christ to be meek and lowly in heart, that I may find rest to my soul; Matthew 11:29(KJV) and that herein the same mind may be in me that was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5(KJV)

Lord, hide pride from me, Job 33:17(KJV) and clothe me with humility; 1 Peter 5:5(KJV) and put upon me the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in thy sight is of great price. 1 Peter 3:4-5(KJV)

Lord, give me grace to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith I am called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing others in love. Ephesians 4:1-2(KJV)

Let anger never rest in my bosom, Ecclesiastes 7:9(KJV) nor the sun ever go down upon my wrath; Ephesians 4:26(KJV) but enable me to show all meekness towards all men, because I myself also was sometimes foolish and disobedient. Titus 3:2-3(KJV)

Let me be clothed as becomes an elect child of God, holy and beloved, with bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and long-suffering, Colossians 3:12(KJV) that being merciful, as my Father which is in heaven is merciful, Luke 6:36(KJV) I may be perfect as he is perfect. Matthew 5:48(KJV)
