Pray for God’s Grace to Fortify you Against Satan’s Temptations

Petition 3.12 | NASB

And that the temptations of Satan may not overcome me.

I pray that I may not enter into temptation; Matthew 26:41(NASB) or, however, that no temptation may overtake me but such as is common to man. And may the faithful God never allow me to be tempted beyond what I am able, but with the temptation provide the way of escape for me. 1 Corinthians 10:13(NASB)

Put upon me the full armor of God, so that I may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil; Ephesians 6:11(NASB) to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Let my loins be girded with truth, put on me the breastplate of righteousness, and let my feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Give me the shield of faith with which I may extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one, and the helmet of salvation; and let the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, be always ready to me. Ephesians 6:13-17(NASB)

Enable me to resist the devil, so that he may flee from me; James 4:7(NASB) to resist him, firm in my faith. 1 Peter 5:9(NASB) And may You, the God of peace, tread Satan under Your people’s feet, and may You do it soon. Romans 16:20(NASB)

Pray for God’s Grace to Fortify you Against Everything Evil

Petition 3.11 | NASB

I must pray for the grace of God, and all the kind and powerful influences and operations of that grace.

I draw near to the throne of grace, so that I may receive not only mercy to pardon, but grace to help in every time of need: Hebrews 4:16(NASB) grace for seasonable help.

From the fullness that is in Jesus Christ (in whom it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell), Colossians 1:19(NASB) let me receive, and grace upon grace. John 1:16(NASB)

I must pray for grace to fortify me against every evil thought, word, and work. Having been earnest for the removing of the guilt of sin, that I may not die for it as a crime, I must be no less earnest for the breaking of the power of sin, that I may not die by it as a disease, but that it may be mortified in me.

O let no sin be master over me, because I am not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14(NASB)

Let the flesh be crucified in me, with its passions and desires; Galatians 5:24(NASB) that walking by the Spirit, I may not carry out the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16(NASB)

Let my old self be crucified with Christ, in order that my body of sin might be done away with, so that I may no longer be a slave to sin. Romans 6:6(NASB) And do not let sin reign in my mortal body (in my immortal soul) so that I should obey its lusts; Romans 6:12(NASB) but having been freed from sin, let me become a slave of righteousness. Romans 6:18(NASB)

Let the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2(NASB)

Give me grace to lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, Ephesians 4:22(NASB) that I may put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Ephesians 4:24(NASB)

Let the world be crucified to me, and I to the world, by the cross of Christ. Galatians 6:14(NASB)

Pray for a Well-Grounded Peace of Conscience

Petition 3.10 | NASB

That I may have a well-grounded peace of conscience, a holy security and serenity of mind arising from a sense of my justification before God and a good work wrought in me.

The Lord of peace Himself continually grant me peace, all peace, in every circumstance: 2 Thessalonians 3:16(NASB) That peace which Jesus Christ has left with His people, which He gives to me; such a peace as the world can neither give nor take away; such a peace as that my heart may not be troubled nor fearful. John 14:27(NASB)

Let the work of righteousness in my soul be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. Isaiah 32:17(NASB)

Speak peace to Your people, to Your godly ones, and let them not turn back to folly. Psalm 85:8(NASB)

O create the praise of the lips, Peace, peace to those who are far and to those who are near; and restore comfort to Your mourners. Isaiah 57:18-19(NASB)

Where the sons of peace are, let Your peace find them out and rest on them. Luke 10:6(NASB)

Let me hear Your lovingkindness and taste the kindness of the Lord, 1 Peter 2:3(NASB) for I trust in You. Psalm 143:8(NASB)

Let the peace of God, which passes all comprehension, guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus; Philippians 4:7(NASB) and let that peace rule in my heart, to which I have been called. Colossians 3:15(NASB)

Now may the God of hope fill me with all joy and peace in believing, so that I will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13(NASB)
