Plead the Promises of God for the Enforcing of your Petitions

Petition 3.41 | NIV

I must plead the promises of God for the enforcing of all my petitions, put these promises in suit, and refer myself to them.

Lord, you have given me many great and precious promises, 2 Peter 1:4(NIV) which are all “Yes” and “Amen” in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:20(NIV) Now may it be to your servant as you have said. Luke 1:38(NIV)

Grant me to draw water with joy from these wells of salvation, Isaiah 12:3(NIV) to nurse and be satisfied at those comforting breasts; Isaiah 66:11(NIV) and now, LORD God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant, and do as you have promised. 1 Chronicles 17:23(NIV)

Deal with me according to the tenor of the everlasting covenant, which is arranged and secured in every part, and which is all my salvation and all my desire. 2 Samuel 23:5(KJV)

Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name; Psalm 119:132(NIV) do immeasurably more for me than I am able to ask or imagine, Ephesians 3:20(NIV) and meet all my needs according to your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(NIV)

Pray for Daily Supplies of Comfort and Support

Petition 3.40 | NIV

I must pray to be supplied with the comforts and supports I daily stand in need of.

O may the favor of the Lord my God rest upon me; establish the work of my hands for me—yes, establish the work of my hands. Psalm 90:17(NIV) O LORD, save me; O LORD, grant me success. Psalm 118:25(NIV)

Let my sons in their youth be like well-nurtured plants, and my daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace. Let my barns be filled with every kind of provision; and let there be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in the streets of your people. Blessed are the people of whom this is true; indeed, rather, blessed are the people whose God is the LORD. Psalm 144:12-15(NIV)

Let me be blessed in the city and blessed in the country; Deuteronomy 28:3(NIV) let my basket and my kneading trough be blessed; let me be blessed when I come in and when I go out. Deuteronomy 28:5-6(NIV)

Let your good providence so order all events concerning me that they may be made to work for my good, as you have promised they shall to all who love you, who have been called according to your purpose. Romans 8:28(NIV)

Grant me to trust in the LORD and do good, and then I shall dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture; Psalm 37:3(NIV) be pleased also to make my righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of my cause like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:6(NIV)

Let me be protected from the lash of the tongue and not fear when destruction comes; Job 5:21(NIV) let me have a covenant with the stones of the field, and let the wild animals be at peace with me; let me know that my tent is secure, and let me take stock of my property and find nothing missing. Job 5:23-24(NIV)

And if God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey during my pilgrimage in this world, and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I may return safely to my heavenly Father’s house, then the LORD will be my God. Genesis 28:20-21(NIV)

Pray for the Good Things of Life and Preservation in Calamities

Petition 3.39 | NIV

I must pray for the good things of life, with a humble submission to the will of God.

Lord, you have told me that godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life, as well as the life to come; 1 Timothy 4:8(NIV) and that if I seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, other things will be given to me; Matthew 6:33(NIV) and therefore, I cast all my care about these things on you, who cares for me; 1 Peter 5:7(NIV) for my heavenly Father knows that I have need of all these things. Matthew 6:32(NIV)

I must pray to be preserved from the calamities to which I am exposed.

You, Lord, are my refuge and my fortress, Psalm 91:2(NIV) and under your wings will I find refuge; your faithfulness will be my shield and rampart; let me therefore not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. Psalm 91:4-5(NIV) Having made the Most High my dwelling and the LORD my refuge, let no harm befall me and no disaster come near my tent. Psalm 91:9-10(NIV)

Let the LORD be my keeper, even he who watches over Israel and neither slumbers nor sleeps. Let the LORD be my shade at my right hand, that the sun may not harm me by day, nor the moon by night. Let the LORD keep me from all harm; let him watch over my life; the Lord watch over my coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121:4-8(NIV)

Lord, put a hedge around me and my house and everything I have; Job 1:10(NIV) and take away sickness from me. Exodus 23:25(NIV)
