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)

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)
