Pray for Grace to Direct, Quicken, Strengthen, and Assist you that you may Walk Wisely

Petition 3.27 | ESV

We must pray for grace to direct and quicken us to, and to strengthen and assist us in, our duty, in the whole course of our life.

Let the grace of God, which has appeared, bringing salvation for me and for all people, effectually train me to renounce all ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live a self-controlled, upright, and godly life in this present age, waiting for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of my great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for his people to redeem them from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Titus 2:11-14(ESV)

That we may be prudent and discreet in our duty.

You have said, “If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5(ESV) Lord, I want wisdom; make me wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove, Matthew 10:16(ESV) that wisdom may make my face shine, Ecclesiastes 8:1(ESV) and may be better to me than weapons of war. Ecclesiastes 9:18(ESV)

Enable me to walk in wisdom towards outsiders, making the best use of the time. Colossians 4:5(ESV)

Give me to order all my affairs with discretion and to behave myself wisely, to ponder the way that is blameless and to walk with integrity of heart. Psalm 101:2(ESV)

Pray for Grace to Govern your Tongue

Petition 3.26 | NASB

I must pray for grace to enable me both to govern my tongue well and to use it well.

Lord, enable me to guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue, and to guard my mouth, as if with a muzzle, Psalm 39:1(NASB) that it may not be impulsive in thought to bring up a matter. Ecclesiastes 5:2(NASB)

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips, Psalm 141:3(NASB) that I may not stumble in what I say. James 3:2(NASB)

Let my speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, Colossians 4:6(NASB) and enable me always, out of the good treasure of my heart, to bring forth what is good. Matthew 12:35(KJV) Let my mouth utter wisdom, and my tongue speak justice; Psalm 37:30(NASB) and do not let Your words depart from my mouth, nor from the mouth of any of Your people, nor from the mouth of our offspring, nor our offspring’s offspring, from now and forever. Isaiah 59:21(NASB)

Enable me always to open my mouth in wisdom, and let the teaching of kindness be on my tongue. Proverbs 31:26(NASB) Give me to know what is acceptable, Proverbs 10:32(NASB) that my tongue may be as choice silver, and my lips may feed many. Proverbs 10:20-21(NASB)

Pray for Grace to Preserve you from Sin

Petition 3.25 | NASB

I must pray for grace to preserve me from sin and all appearances of it and approaches towards it.

Now I pray to God that I may do no wrong, 2 Corinthians 13:7(NASB) but may prove myself to be blameless and innocent, a child of God, above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. Philippians 2:15(NASB)

Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, and revive me in Your ways. Psalm 119:37(NASB) Remove the false way from me, and graciously grant me Your law. Psalm 119:29(NASB)

Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who do iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies. Psalm 141:4(NASB)

O acquit me of hidden faults; also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins: Let them not rule over me, but let me be blameless and acquitted of great transgression; Psalm 19:12-13(NASB) and grant that hereby I may prove myself blameless with You, by keeping myself from my own iniquity. Psalm 18:23(NASB)

Let Your word be treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You, Psalm 119:11(NASB) and Your grace be at all times sufficient for me, 2 Corinthians 12:9(NASB) ready to me, and mighty in me; and never give me up to my own heart’s lust, to walk in my own counsels. Jeremiah 7:24(NASB)

Enable me to walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise, Ephesians 5:15(NASB) so carefully, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to blaspheme that fair name by which I have been called; James 2:7(NASB) and by doing right may I silence the ignorance of foolish men, 1 Peter 2:15(NASB) and may I adorn the doctrine of God my Savior in every respect. Titus 2:10(NASB)
