Pray for Grace to Bring God’s Truth to your Memory

Petition 3.16 | NASB

To help my memory, that the truths of God may be ready to me whenever I have occasion to use them.

Lord, let Your Spirit teach me all things and bring to my remembrance all that You have said to me, John 14:26(NASB) that the word of Christ may richly dwell within me, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Colossians 3:16(NASB)

Lord, grant that I may pay much closer attention to what I have heard, so that I do not drift away from it; Hebrews 2:1(NASB) and may I hold fast the word which has been preached to me, and not believe in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:2(NASB)

Lord, make me ready and mighty in the Scriptures, Acts 18:24(NASB) that I may be adequate, equipped for every good work; 2 Timothy 3:17(NASB) and, being a disciple of the kingdom of heaven, may I, like a head of a household, bring out of my treasure things new and old. Matthew 13:52 (NASB)

Pray for Grace to Keep you in the Way of Truth

Petition 3.15 | NASB

To lead me into and keep me in the way of truth; and if in anything I am in an error, to rectify my mistake.

Let the Spirit of truth guide me into all the truth, John 16:13(NASB) and show me how I have erred. Job 6:24(NASB)

Teach me what I do not see; Job 34:32(NASB) and enable me to examine everything carefully, so as to hold fast to that which is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21(NASB)

Lord, grant that I may not be as a child, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men; but speaking the truth in love, may I grow up in all aspects into Christ, who is the head. Ephesians 4:14-15(NASB)

Lord, give me so to do Your will, as that I may know that the teaching is from God; John 7:17(NASB) and so to know the truth, as that the truth may make me free, John 8:32(NASB) may make me free indeed. John 8:36(NASB)

Enable me, I pray, to retain the standard of sound words which I have heard in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:13(NASB) and to continue in the things I have learned and become convinced of. 2 Timothy 3:14(NASB)

Pray for Grace to Instruct you in the Things of God

Petition 3.14 | NASB

More particularly, I must pray for grace:

To teach and instruct me, and make me knowing and intelligent in the things of God.

Give me so to cry for discernment and lift my voice for understanding, to seek for it as silver and to search for it as for hidden treasure, that I may discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:3-5(NASB)

Grant that all Your people might know You, from the least even to the greatest, Hebrews 8:11(NASB) and to press on to know You; Hosea 6:3(NASB) and so to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent, that it may be eternal life to us. John 17:3(NASB)

Give to me a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Christ, that, the eyes of my heart being enlightened, I may know what is the hope of His calling and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and may experience what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward those who believe, in accordance with the working of the strength of His might. Ephesians 1:17-19(NASB)

Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from Your law and gospel. Psalm 119:18(NASB)

Give me to know the exact truth about the things I have been taught; Luke 1:4(NASB) and let my knowledge grow up to all that wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself. Colossians 2:2(NASB) Deal with Your servant according to Your lovingkindness, and teach me Your statutes. I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies. Psalm 119:124-125(NASB) Let my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word, Psalm 119:169(NASB) that good understanding which they have who do Your commandments, whose praise endures forever. Psalm 111:10(NASB)
