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)

Pray for a Sense of Assurance

Petition 3.9 | NASB

I must pray for the comfortable sense of my reconciliation to God and my acceptance with Him.

That I may have some evidence of the pardon of my sins and of my adoption.

O let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones which sin has broken rejoice. Psalm 51:8(NASB)

Say to each of your children, “Take courage, Son, Daughter; your sins are forgiven.” Matthew 9:2(NASB)

Let the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse my conscience from dead works to serve You, the living God. Hebrews 9:14(NASB)

Let Your Spirit testify with my spirit that I am a child of God, and if a child, an heir also, an heir of God and a fellow heir with Christ. Romans 8:16-17(NASB)

Say to my soul, “I am Your salvation.” Psalm 35:3(NASB)
