Pray for Reconciliation with God that you may Know His Peace

Petition 3.6 | NASB

I must likewise pray that God will be reconciled to me, that I may obtain His favor and blessing and gracious acceptance.

That I may be at peace with God and His anger may be turned away from me.

Having been justified by faith, let me have peace with God through my Lord Jesus Christ, and through Him let me obtain my introduction into that grace in which believers stand, and exult in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2(NASB)

Do not be a terror to me, for You are my refuge in the day of disaster. Jeremiah 17:17(NASB)

In Christ Jesus let me, who formerly was far off, be brought near by the blood of Christ; for He Himself is His people’s peace, who has broken down the barrier of the dividing wall, and, that he might reconcile me to God through His cross, has put to death the enmity, thus establishing peace. Through Him, therefore, let me, who has made myself a stranger and an alien, become a fellow citizen with the saints, and of God’s household. Ephesians 2:13-19(NASB)

You have no wrath: Should someone give You briars and thorns in battle, You would burn them completely; yes, You would burn them completely; but You have encouraged me to rely on Your protection, that I make peace, and have promised that I shall make peace. Isaiah 27:4-5(NASB) O let me therefore yield and be at peace with You, that thereby good may come to me. Job 22:21(NASB)

Heal me, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14(NASB) Do not be angry with me forever but revive me again, that I may rejoice in You. Show me Your lovingkindness, O LORD, and grant me Your salvation. Psalm 85:5-7(NASB)

Plead with God your Misery Because of Sin, Along with the Blessed Condition of Pardoned Sinners

Petition 3.5 | NASB

My own misery and danger because of sin.

For Your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great; Psalm 25:11(NASB) for evils beyond number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; make haste, O LORD, to help me. Psalm 40:12-13(NASB)

O do not remember the iniquities of my forefathers against me; let Your compassion come quickly to meet me, for I am brought very low. Help me, O God of my salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver me and forgive my sins, for Your name’s sake. Psalm 79:8-9(NASB)

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your lovingkindness remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O LORD. Psalm 25:7(NASB)

The blessed condition which they are in whose sins are pardoned.

O let me have the blessedness of those whose transgression is forgiven, and whose sin is covered; of that man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. Psalm 32:1-2(NASB)

O let me have redemption through Christ’s blood, even the forgiveness of my trespasses, according to the riches of Your grace, which You have lavished on me, in all wisdom and insight. Ephesians 1:7-8(NASB) That being in Christ Jesus, there may be no condemnation for me; Romans 8:1(NASB) that my sins, which are many, having been forgiven me, Luke 7:47(NASB) I may go in peace: Luke 7:50(NASB) And no resident will say, “I am sick,” if the people who dwell there have been forgiven their iniquity. Isaiah 33:24(NASB)

Plead with God His Promises of Pardon

Petition 3.4 | NASB

The promises God has made in His word to pardon and absolve all those who truly repent and unfeignedly believe His holy gospel.

Lord, is not this the word which You have spoken: that if the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and return to the LORD, even to my God, that You will abundantly pardon, Isaiah 55:7(NASB) will multiply to pardon?

To You, the Lord my God, belong compassion and forgiveness, for I have rebelled against You. Daniel 9:9(NASB)

Is not this the covenant which You have made with the house of Israel: that You will take away their sins; Romans 11:27(NASB) that You will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more; Jeremiah 31:34(NASB) that search will be made for the iniquity of Israel, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but they will not be found? Jeremiah 50:20(NASB)

Have You not said that if a wicked man will turn from all his sins that he has committed and keep Your statutes, he shall live; he shall not die; all his transgressions shall not be remembered against him? Ezekiel 33:15-16(NASB)

Have You not appointed that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in Christ’s name to all the nations? Luke 24:47(NASB)

Did You not promise that when the sins of Israel were put upon the head of the scapegoat, they should be sent away into the wilderness, into a solitary land? Leviticus 16:22(NASB) And as far as the east is from the west, so far do You remove my transgressions from me. Psalm 103:12(NASB)

O remember these words to Your servant, in which You have made me hope. Psalm 119:49(NASB)
