Plead the Promises of God for the Enforcing of your Petitions

I must plead the promises of God for the enforcing of all my petitions, put these promises in suit, and refer myself to them.

Lord, You have granted me many precious and magnificent promises, 2 Peter 1:4(NASB) which are all Yes and Amen in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:20(NASB) Now may it be done to Your servant according to the word that You have spoken. 2 Samuel 7:25(NASB)

Give me to joyously draw water from the springs of salvation, Isaiah 12:3(NASB) to nurse and be satisfied with Jerusalem’s comforting breasts; Isaiah 66:11(NASB) and now, O LORD God, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant be established forever, and do as You have spoken. 1 Chronicles 17:23(NASB)

Deal with me according to the tenor of the everlasting covenant, which is well-ordered in all things and secured, and which is all my salvation and all my desire. 2 Samuel 23:5(NASB)

Turn to me and be gracious to me, after Your manner with those who love Your name; Psalm 119:132(NASB) do more for me than I am able to ask or think, Ephesians 3:20(NASB) and supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(NASB)

I must pray to be supplied with the comforts and supports I daily stand in need of.

O that the favor of the Lord my God may be upon me; confirm for me the work of my hands; yes, establish the work of my hands. Psalm 90:17(NASB) O LORD, do save, I beseech You; O LORD, I beseech You, do send prosperity! Psalm 118:25(NASB)

Let my sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, and my daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace. Let my garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce; let there be no mishap or loss; and let there be no outcry in the streets of Your people. How blessed are the people who are so situated; how blessed are the people whose God is the LORD! Psalm 144:12-15(NASB)

Let me be blessed in the city and blessed in the country; Deuteronomy 28:3(NASB) let my basket and my kneading bowl be blessed; let me be blessed when I come in and when I go out. Deuteronomy 28:5-6(NASB)

Let Your good providence so order all events concerning me that they may be made to work for good to me, as You have promised they shall to all who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Romans 8:28(NASB)

Give me to trust in the LORD and do good, and then I shall dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness; Psalm 37:3(NASB) and be pleased to bring forth my righteousness as the light and my judgment as the noonday. Psalm 37:6(NASB)

Let me be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and not be afraid of violence when it comes; Job 5:21(NASB) let me be in league with the stones of the field, and let the beasts of the field be at peace with me; let me know that my tent is secure, and let me visit my abode and fear no loss. Job 5:23-24(NASB)

And if God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I take during my pilgrimage in this world, and will give me food to eat and garments to wear, so that I may come to my heavenly Father’s house in safety, then the LORD will be my God. Genesis 28:20-21(NASB)

Pray for the Good Things of Life and Preservation in Calamities

Petition 3.39 | NASB

I must pray for the good things of life, with a humble submission to the will of God.

Lord, You have told me that godliness holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come; 1 Timothy 4:8(NASB) and that if I seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, other things will be added to me; Matthew 6:33(NASB) and therefore, I cast all my anxiety about these things on You, who cares for me; 1 Peter 5:7(NASB) for my heavenly Father knows that I need all these things. Matthew 6:32(NASB)

I must pray to be preserved from the calamities to which I am exposed.

You, Lord, are my refuge and my fortress, Psalm 91:2(NASB) and under Your wings will I seek refuge; Your faithfulness is a shield and bulwark; let me therefore not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day. Psalm 91:4-5(NASB) Having made the Lord my refuge and the Most High my dwelling place, let no evil befall me, nor any plague come near my tent. Psalm 91:9-10(NASB)

Let the LORD be my keeper, even He who keeps Israel and neither slumbers nor sleeps. Let the Lord be my shade on my right hand, that the sun may not smite me by day, nor the moon by night. Let the Lord protect me from all evil; the Lord keep my soul; the Lord guard my going out and my coming in, from this time forth and forever. Psalm 121:4-8(NASB)

Lord, make a hedge about me and my house and all that I have, on every side; Job 1:10(NASB) and remove sickness from my midst. Exodus 23:25(NASB)
