Pray for Grace to Make you Wiser and Better Every Day

Petition 3.34 | NIV

I must pray for grace to make me wiser and better every day than another.

Lord, give me to grow with God-caused growth; Colossians 2:19(NIV) to grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; 2 Peter 3:18(NIV) to hold to my ways; and, having clean hands, to grow stronger. Job 17:9(NIV)

Let my path be like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18(NIV)

I have not yet obtained, nor have I already been made perfect; Lord, grant that therefore, forgetting what is behind, I may strain toward what is ahead, toward the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14(NIV)

Be like the dew to me that I may blossom like a lily and send down my roots like a cedar of Lebanon; that my shoots may grow and my splendor may be like an olive tree. Hosea 14:5-6(NIV) And let the sun of righteousness rise upon me with healing in its wings, so that I may go out and leap like a calf released from the stall.Malachi 4:2(NIV)

Pray for Grace to Make you Wiser and Better Every Day

Petition 3.34 | ESV

We must pray for grace to make us wiser and better every day than another.

Lord, give me to grow with a growth that is from God; Colossians 2:19(ESV) to grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; 2 Peter 3:18(ESV) to hold to my way; and, having clean hands, to grow stronger and stronger. Job 17:9(ESV)

Let my path be as the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. Proverbs 4:18(ESV)

I have not yet obtained, nor am I already perfect; Lord, grant that therefore, forgetting what lies behind, I may strain forward to what lies ahead, for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14(ESV)

Be like the dew to me, that I may blossom like the lily and take root like the trees of Lebanon; that my shoots may spread out and my beauty may be like the olive. And let the sun of righteousness rise upon me with healing in its wings, that I may go out leaping like a calf from the stall. Malachi 4:2(ESV)
