Pray for Reconciliation with God that you may Know His Peace

Petition 3.6 | NIV

I must likewise pray that God will be reconciled to me, that I may obtain his favor and blessing and gracious acceptance.

That I may be at peace with God and his anger may be turned away from me.

Being justified through faith, let me have peace with God through my Lord Jesus Christ, and through him let me gain access into that grace in which believers now stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2(NIV)

Do not be a terror to me, for you are my refuge in the day of disaster. Jeremiah 17:17(NIV)

In Christ Jesus let me, who was once far away, be brought near by the blood of Christ; for he himself is his people’s peace, who has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, and, that he might reconcile his people to God through his cross, has put to death their hostility, thus making peace. Through him, therefore, let me, who have made myself a foreigner and an alien, become a fellow citizen with God’s people and a member of God’s household. Ephesians 2:13-19(NIV)

You are not angry: If only there were briers and thorns confronting you! You would march against them in battle; you would set them all on fire. But you have encouraged me to come to you for refuge and make peace with you; yes, to make peace with you. Isaiah 27:4-5(NIV) O let me therefore submit to you and be at peace, for in this way prosperity may come to me. Job 22:21(NIV)

Heal me and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved, for you are the one I praise. Jeremiah 17:14(NIV) Do not be angry with me forever but revive me again, that I may rejoice in you. Show me your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant me your salvation. Psalm 85:5-7(NIV)

For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Psalm 25:11(NIV) For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me. Psalm 40:12-13(NIV)

Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. Psalm 25:7(NIV)

The blessed condition which they are in whose sins are pardoned.

O let me have the blessedness of those whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; of that man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. Psalm 32:1-2(NIV)

O let me have redemption through Christ’s blood, even the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of your grace that you have lavished on me with all wisdom and understanding. Ephesians 1:7-8(NIV) That being in Christ Jesus, there may be no condemnation for me. Romans 8:1(NIV)

That my sins, which are many, being forgiven me, Luke 7:47(NIV) I may go in peace: Luke 7:50(NIV) And no one living in Zion will say, “I am ill,” if the sins of those who dwell there are forgiven. Isaiah 33:24(NIV)

Plead with God His Promises of Pardon

Petition 3.4 | NIV

The promises God has made in his word to pardon and absolve all those who truly repent and unfeignedly believe his holy gospel.

Lord, is not this the word which you have spoken: that if the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts, and turn to the LORD, you will have mercy on him, and to my God, for you will freely pardon, Isaiah 55:7(NIV) will pardon abundantly?

The Lord my God is merciful and forgiving, even though I have rebelled against him. Daniel 9:9(NIV)

Is not this the covenant which you have made with the house of Israel: that you will take away their sins; Romans 11:27(NIV) that you will forgive their wickedness and remember their sins no more; Jeremiah 31:34(NIV) that search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found? Jeremiah 50:20(NIV)

Have you not said that if the wicked man turns from all of the sins he has committed and follows your decrees, he will live; he will not die; none of his sins will be remembered against him? Ezekiel 33:15-16(NIV)

Have you not appointed that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in Christ’s name to all nations? Luke 24:47(NIV)

Did you not promise that when the sins of Israel were put upon the head of the scapegoat, they should be sent away into the desert to a solitary place? Leviticus 16:22(NIV) And as far as the east is from the west, so far have you removed my transgressions from me. Psalm 103:12(NIV)

O remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope. Psalm 119:49(NIV)
