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)

Pray for God’s Grace to Equip you for Everything Good and to Beget and Sustain New Life

Petition 3.13 | NASB

I must pray for grace to equip me for every good thought, word, and work, that I may not only be kept from sin, but may be in everything as I should be, and do as I should do.

Let Christ be made of God to me not only righteousness, but wisdom, sanctification, and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30(NASB)

Let me be planted together in the likeness of Christ’s death and resurrection, that as He was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so may I too walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4(NASB)

That the work of grace may be wrought where it has not yet begun.

Lord, teach transgressors Your ways, and let sinners be converted to You; Psalm 51:13(NASB) and let the disobedient be turned to the attitude of the righteous, and make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Luke 1:17(NASB)

Let those be quickened who are yet dead in trespasses and sins: Ephesians 2:1(NASB) Say to them, “Live!” Yes, say to them, “Live!” Ezekiel 16:6(NASB) And the time shall be a time for love. Ezekiel 16:8(NASB)

Open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified. Acts 26:18(NASB)

Because of the blood of Your covenant, set the prisoners free from the waterless pit, that they may return to the stronghold as prisoners who have hope. Zechariah 9:11-12(NASB)

Let the word of God prevail to the destruction of fortresses and the destroying of speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and let every thought be taken captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5(NASB)

That where it has begun it may be carried on and at length perfected, and the foundation that has been well laid may be happily built upon.

Fulfill in me every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power. 2 Thessalonians 1:11(NASB)

Let the God who began a good work in me perfect it until the day of Christ. Philippians 1:6(NASB)

Accomplish, O God, what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting: do not forsake the work of Your hands. Psalm 138:8(NASB)

Lord, let Your grace be sufficient for me, and let Your power be perfected in weakness, that where I am weak, there I may be strong, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10(NASB) strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Ephesians 6:10(NASB)

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)
