Pray for Grace to Assist you that you may be Cheerful in your Duty

Petition 3.31 | NASB

That I may be pleasant and cheerful in my duty.

Lord, enable me to rejoice always, 1 Thessalonians 5:16(NASB) to rejoice in the Lord always, because He has again said to me, Rejoice! Philippians 4:4(NASB) That I may go on my way rejoicing, may eat my bread in happiness and drink my wine with a cheerful heart, as I shall have reason to do if God has already approved my works. Ecclesiastes 9:7(NASB)

Give me grace to serve You, the LORD my God, with joy and a glad heart in the abundance of all things; Deuteronomy 28:47(NASB) and to sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of my God. Psalm 138:5(NASB)

Let me have that cheerfulness of heart which is like good medicine, Proverbs 17:22(NASB) and deliver me from that anxiety which weighs down the heart, Proverbs 12:25(NASB) and that sorrow of the world which produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10(NASB)

Pray for Grace to Assist you that you may be Courageous in your Duty

Petition 3.30 | NASB

That I may be resolute and courageous in my duty, as one who knows that though I may be a loser for Christ, I shall not be a loser by Him in the end.

Lord, teach me to suffer hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 2:3(NASB) that I may not fear the reproach of man or their revilings, Isaiah 51:7(NASB) nor be ashamed of Christ or of His words, Mark 8:38(NASB) knowing whom I have believed, even One who is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 2 Timothy 1:12(NASB)

Though bonds and afflictions should await me, Lord, grant that none of these things may move me, and that I may not consider life itself as dear to me, so that I may finish my course. Acts 20:23-24(NASB)

Enable me in everything to commend myself to God; 2 Corinthians 6:4(NASB) and then to pass by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, clad with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left, 2 Corinthians 6:7-8(NASB) as one who accounts it a very small thing to be examined by any human court, for the One who examines me is the Lord. 1 Corinthians 4:3-4(NASB)

Pray for Grace to Assist you that you may be Diligent in your Duty

Petition 3.29 | NASB

That I may be active and diligent in my duty.

Lord, quicken me to work the works of Him who sent me as long as it is day, because night is coming, wherein no one can work; John 9:4(NASB) and what good my hands find to do, enable me to do it with all my might, for there is no activity or knowledge in Sheol where I am going. Ecclesiastes 9:10(NASB)

Lord, grant that I may never be lagging behind in diligence, but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; Romans 12:11(NASB) steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that my toil is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58(NASB)

Lord, make me zealously affected in every good work; Galatians 4:18(KJV) and in whatever I do, enable me to do my work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men. Colossians 3:23(NASB)

Lord, enable me to do the work of every day in its day, as each day requires, Ezra 3:4(NASB) making the most of my time, because the days are evil; Ephesians 5:16(NASB) that when my Master comes, He may find me so doing. Luke 12:43(NASB)
