Pray for the Fear of God and for the Love of God to be Rooted in you

Petition 3.20 | NASB

I must pray for the fear of God.

Lord, work in me that fear of You, which is the beginning of wisdom, Psalm 111:10(NASB) which is the instruction for wisdom, Proverbs 15:33(NASB) and which is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27(NASB)

Unite my heart to fear Your name, Psalm 86:11(NASB) that I may keep Your commandments, which is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13(KJV)

O put the fear of You in my heart so that I may never turn away from You. Jeremiah 32:40(NASB) Let me be devoted to Your fear; Psalm 119:38(KJV) and let me live in the fear of the LORD always. Proverbs 23:17(NASB)

I must pray that the love of God and Christ may be rooted in me and, in order to that end, that the love of the world may be rooted out of me.

Give me grace, I beg You, to love You, the Lord my God, with all my heart and soul and mind and strength, Mark 12:30(NASB) which is the great and foremost commandment; Matthew 22:37-38(NASB) to set my love upon You; Psalm 91:14(KJV) and to delight myself always in You; and therein I shall have the desires of my heart. Psalm 37:4(NASB)

Circumcise my heart to love You, the LORD my God, with all my heart and with all my soul, so that I may live. Deuteronomy 30:6(NASB)

O that the love of God may be poured out within my heart through the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5(NASB)

O that Jesus Christ may be very precious to me, as He is to all who believe; 1 Peter 2:7(NASB) that He may be in my account outstanding among ten thousand, Song of Solomon 5:10(NASB) and wholly desirable; and that He may be my beloved and my friend: Song of Solomon 5:16(NASB) That though I have not seen Him, yet I may love Him; and though I do not see Him now, yet I may believe in Him and greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory. 1 Peter 1:8(NASB)

Let the love of Christ to me control me to live, not for myself, but for Him who died and rose again on my behalf. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15(NASB)

And, Lord, grant that I may not love the world nor the things in the world, because if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 1 John 2:15(NASB) that I may set my mind on the things above, and not on the things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2(NASB)

Pray for Faith

Petition 3.19 | NASB

I must pray for faith.

To me, Lord, let it be granted to believe; Philippians 1:29(NASB) for the faith by which I am saved is not of myself, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8(NASB)

Lord, increase my faith, Luke 17:5(NASB) and complete what is lacking in it, 1 Thessalonians 3:10(NASB) that I may grow strong in faith, giving glory to God. Romans 4:20(NASB)

Lord, give me so to be crucified with Christ, as that the life which I now live in the flesh, I may live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me; Galatians 2:20(NASB) and so to carry about in me continually the dying of Jesus, as that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in my mortal body. 2 Corinthians 4:10(NASB)

As I have received Christ Jesus the Lord, enable me so to walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in my faith, just as I was instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Colossians 2:6-7(NASB)

Let every word of Yours profit me, being united by faith in me, Hebrews 4:2(NASB) by which I receive Your testimony and set my seal to this, that God is true. John 3:33(NASB)

I beg You, work in me that faith which is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1(NASB) by which I may look above the things which are seen, which are temporal, and may look at the things which are not seen, which are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18(NASB)

Enable me by faith to set the LORD continually before me, Psalm 16:8(NASB) and to have my eyes continually toward Him, Psalm 25:15(NASB) that I may act in everything as seeing Him who is unseen, and look to the reward. Hebrews 11:26-27(NASB)

Let my heart be cleansed by faith, Acts 15:9(NASB) and let it be my victory to overcome the world; 1 John 5:4(NASB) and let me be kept from despairing by believing that I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13(NASB)

Pray for Grace to Sanctify your Nature

Petition 3.18 | NASB

To sanctify my nature, to plant in me all holy principles and dispositions, and to increase every grace in me.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify me entirely; and may my spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ. For faithful is He who calls me, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24(NASB)

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. Psalm 51:10-12(NASB)

Write Your law on my heart and put it within me, Jeremiah 31:33(NASB) that I may be a letter of Christ, written by the Spirit of the living God, not on a tablet of stone but on a tablet of human heart; 2 Corinthians 3:3(NASB) that the law of my God being in my heart, none of my steps may slip, Psalm 37:31(NASB) and I may delight to do Your will, O God; Psalm 40:8(NASB) may joyfully concur with the law of God in my inner man. Romans 7:22(NASB)

O that I may become obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which I desire to be committed, as into a mold, Romans 6:17(NASB) that my whole soul may be leavened by it; Matthew 13:33(NASB) and that I may not be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of my mind; Romans 12:2(NASB) may not be conformed to the former lusts which were mine in my ignorance, but as an obedient child, may be holy in all my behavior, like the Holy One who called me. 1 Peter 1:14-15(NASB)
