Pray for Grace to Direct your Conscience and Make you Wise

Petition 3.17 | NIV

To direct my conscience, to show me the way of my duty, and to make me a wise, knowing, judicious Christian.

Lord, give me a wise and discerning heart, 1 Kings 3:9(NIV) that skill which in all cases brings success; Ecclesiastes 10:10(NIV) that wisdom of the prudent which is to give thought to their ways. Proverbs 14:8(NIV)

This I pray, that my love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that I may be able to discern things that differ and understand what is best; that I may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11(NIV)

O that I may be filled with the knowledge of your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding; that I may live a life worthy of God and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:9-10(NIV)

Teach me your way, O God, and lead me in a straight path because of my observers. Psalm 27:11(NIV)

When I do not know what to do, my eyes are upon you; 2 Chronicles 20:12(NIV) then let me hear the Lord behind me, saying, “This is the way; walk in it,” so that I do not turn to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21(NIV)

Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133(NIV)

Pray for Grace to Bring God’s Truth to your Memory

Petition 3.16 | NIV

To help my memory, that the truths of God may be ready to me whenever I have occasion to use them.

Lord, let your Spirit teach me all things and remind me of everything you have said to me, John 14:26(NIV) that the word of Christ may dwell in me richly in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Colossians 3:16(NIV)

Lord, grant that I may pay more careful attention to what I have heard, so that I do not drift away; Hebrews 2:1(NIV) and may I hold firmly to the word that has been preached to me, and not believe in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:2(NIV)

Lord, give me a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, Acts 18:24(NIV) so that I may be thoroughly equipped for every good work; 2 Timothy 3:17(NIV) and, having been well instructed about the kingdom of heaven, may I, like a good owner of a house, bring out of my storeroom new treasures as well as old. Matthew 13:52(NIV)

Pray for Grace to Keep you in the Way of Truth

Petition 3.15 | NIV

To lead me into and keep me in the way of truth; and if in anything I am in error, to rectify my mistake.

Let the Spirit of truth guide me into all truth, John 16:13(NIV) and show me where I have been wrong. Job 6:24(NIV)

Teach me what I cannot see; Job 34:32(NIV) and enable me to test everything, so as to hold on to the good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21(NIV)

Lord, grant that I may not be as an infant, tossed back and forth, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the craftiness of men; instead, speaking the truth in love, may I in all things grow up into Christ who is the Head. Ephesians 4:14-15(NIV)

Lord, give me so to do your will, that I may know that your teaching comes from God; John 7:17(NIV) and that I may know the truth, so that the truth may set me free, John 8:32(NIV) may set me free indeed. John 8:36(NIV)

Enable me, I pray, to keep the pattern of sound teaching, which I have heard, with faith and love in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:13(NIV) and to continue in what I have learned and have become convinced of. 2 Timothy 3:14(NIV)
