Pray for a Tender Conscience and God-Wrought Love

Petition 3.21 | NASB

I must pray that my conscience may be always tender and that I may live a life of repentance.

Lord, take the heart of stone out of my flesh and give me a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 11:19(NASB)

Make me afraid of every form of evil, 1 Thessalonians 5:22(NASB) and careful not to allow Satan to take advantage of me, since I am not ignorant of his schemes. 2 Corinthians 2:11(NASB)

Lord, give me the happiness which they have who fear always; Psalm 128:1(NASB) that when I think I stand, I may take heed that I do not fall. 1 Corinthians 10:12(NASB)

I must pray to God to work in me charity and brotherly love.

Lord, put on me that love which is the perfect bond of unity, Colossians 3:14(NASB) that I may preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, Ephesians 4:3(NASB) and may live in love of peace, that the God of love and peace may be with me. 2 Corinthians 13:11(NASB)

Lord, give me to love my neighbor as myself with that love which is the fulfillment of the law; Romans 13:9-10(NASB) to fervently love others from the heart, 1 Peter 1:22(NASB) that by this all men may know that I am Christ’s disciple. John 13:35(NASB)

And as I am taught by God to love others, give me to abound therein still more; 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10(NASB) and as I have opportunity, let me do good to all people; Galatians 6:10(NASB) and so far as it depends on me, let me be at peace with all men, Romans 12:18(NASB) always pursuing the things which make for peace and the building up of others. Romans 14:19(NASB)

Lord, make me able to love my enemies, to bless those who curse me, to pray for those who despitefully use me, and to do good to those who hate me; Matthew 5:44(KJV) bearing with others and forgiving others in love, just as the Lord has forgiven me. Colossians 3:13(NASB)

Pray for the Fear of God and for the Love of God to be Rooted in you

Petition 3.20 | NASB

I must pray for the fear of God.

Lord, work in me that fear of You, which is the beginning of wisdom, Psalm 111:10(NASB) which is the instruction for wisdom, Proverbs 15:33(NASB) and which is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27(NASB)

Unite my heart to fear Your name, Psalm 86:11(NASB) that I may keep Your commandments, which is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13(KJV)

O put the fear of You in my heart so that I may never turn away from You. Jeremiah 32:40(NASB) Let me be devoted to Your fear; Psalm 119:38(KJV) and let me live in the fear of the LORD always. Proverbs 23:17(NASB)

I must pray that the love of God and Christ may be rooted in me and, in order to that end, that the love of the world may be rooted out of me.

Give me grace, I beg You, to love You, the Lord my God, with all my heart and soul and mind and strength, Mark 12:30(NASB) which is the great and foremost commandment; Matthew 22:37-38(NASB) to set my love upon You; Psalm 91:14(KJV) and to delight myself always in You; and therein I shall have the desires of my heart. Psalm 37:4(NASB)

Circumcise my heart to love You, the LORD my God, with all my heart and with all my soul, so that I may live. Deuteronomy 30:6(NASB)

O that the love of God may be poured out within my heart through the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5(NASB)

O that Jesus Christ may be very precious to me, as He is to all who believe; 1 Peter 2:7(NASB) that He may be in my account outstanding among ten thousand, Song of Solomon 5:10(NASB) and wholly desirable; and that He may be my beloved and my friend: Song of Solomon 5:16(NASB) That though I have not seen Him, yet I may love Him; and though I do not see Him now, yet I may believe in Him and greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory. 1 Peter 1:8(NASB)

Let the love of Christ to me control me to live, not for myself, but for Him who died and rose again on my behalf. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15(NASB)

And, Lord, grant that I may not love the world nor the things in the world, because if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 1 John 2:15(NASB) that I may set my mind on the things above, and not on the things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2(NASB)

Pray for Faith

Petition 3.19 | NASB

I must pray for faith.

To me, Lord, let it be granted to believe; Philippians 1:29(NASB) for the faith by which I am saved is not of myself, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8(NASB)

Lord, increase my faith, Luke 17:5(NASB) and complete what is lacking in it, 1 Thessalonians 3:10(NASB) that I may grow strong in faith, giving glory to God. Romans 4:20(NASB)

Lord, give me so to be crucified with Christ, as that the life which I now live in the flesh, I may live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me; Galatians 2:20(NASB) and so to carry about in me continually the dying of Jesus, as that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in my mortal body. 2 Corinthians 4:10(NASB)

As I have received Christ Jesus the Lord, enable me so to walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in my faith, just as I was instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Colossians 2:6-7(NASB)

Let every word of Yours profit me, being united by faith in me, Hebrews 4:2(NASB) by which I receive Your testimony and set my seal to this, that God is true. John 3:33(NASB)

I beg You, work in me that faith which is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1(NASB) by which I may look above the things which are seen, which are temporal, and may look at the things which are not seen, which are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18(NASB)

Enable me by faith to set the LORD continually before me, Psalm 16:8(NASB) and to have my eyes continually toward Him, Psalm 25:15(NASB) that I may act in everything as seeing Him who is unseen, and look to the reward. Hebrews 11:26-27(NASB)

Let my heart be cleansed by faith, Acts 15:9(NASB) and let it be my victory to overcome the world; 1 John 5:4(NASB) and let me be kept from despairing by believing that I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13(NASB)
