Pray for God’s Grace to Fortify you Against Satan’s Temptations

Petition 3.12 | KJV

And that the temptations of Satan may not overcome me.

I pray that I may not enter into temptation; Matthew 26:41(KJV) or, however, that no temptation may take me but such as is common to man. And let the faithful God never suffer me to be tempted above what I am able, but with the temptation make way for me to escape. 1 Corinthians 10:13(KJV)

Put upon me the whole armour of God, that I may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, Ephesians 6:11(KJV) to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand; let my loins be girt about with truth, put on me the breast-plate of righteousness, and let my feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Give me the shield of faith, wherewith I may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, and the helmet of salvation; and let the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, be always ready to me. Ephesians 6:13-17(KJV)

Enable me to resist the devil, as that he may fly from me; James 4:7(KJV) to resist him steadfast in the faith. 1 Peter 5:9(KJV) And may you, the God of peace, tread Satan under your people’s feet, and do it shortly. Romans 16:20(KJV)

Pray for God’s Grace to Fortify you Against Everything Evil

Petition 3.11 | KJV

I must pray for the grace of God, and all the kind and powerful influences and operations of that grace.

I come to the throne of grace, that I may obtain not only mercy to pardon, but grace to help in every time of need: Hebrews 4:16(KJV) grace for seasonable help.

From the fulness that is in Jesus Christ (in whom it pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell), Colossians 1:19(KJV) let me receive, and grace for grace. John 1:16(KJV)

I must pray for grace to fortify myself against every evil thought, word, and work. Having been earnest for the removing of the guilt of sin, that I may not die for it as a crime, I must be no less earnest for the breaking of the power of sin, that I may not die by it as a disease, but that it may be mortified in me.

O let no iniquity have dominion over me, because I am not under the law but under grace. Romans 6:14(KJV)

Let the flesh be crucified in me, with its affections and lusts; Galatians 5:24(KJV) that walking in the Spirit, I may not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Galatians 5:16(KJV)

Let my old man be crucified with Christ, that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth I may not serve sin. Romans 6:6(KJV) And let not sin reign in my mortal body (in my immortal soul), that I should obey it in the lusts thereof, Romans 6:12(KJV) but being made free from sin, let me become the servant of righteousness. Romans 6:18(KJV)

Let the law of the Spirit of life, which is in Christ Jesus, make me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2(KJV)

Give me grace to put off the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, Ephesians 4:22(KJV) that I may put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:24(KJV)

That the world may be crucified to me, and I to the world, by the cross of Christ. Galatians 6:14(KJV)

Pray for a Well-Grounded Peace of Conscience

Petition 3.10 | KJV

That I may have a well-grounded peace of conscience, a holy security and serenity of mind arising from a sense of my justification before God and a good work wrought in me.

The Lord of peace himself give me peace, all peace, always, by all means: 2 Thessalonians 3:16(KJV) That peace which Jesus Christ hath left with his people, which he gives to me; such a peace as the world can neither give nor take away; such a peace as that my heart may not be troubled nor afraid. John 14:27(KJV)

Let the work of righteousness in my soul be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever. Isaiah 32:17(KJV)

Speak peace unto thy people and to thy saints, and let not them turn again to folly. Psalm 85:8(KJV)

O create the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace to them that are afar off and to them that are nigh; and restore comfort to thy mourners. Isaiah 57:18-19(KJV)

Where the sons of peace are, let thy peace find them out and rest upon them. Luke 10:6(KJV)

Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness and to taste that thou art gracious, 1 Peter 2:3(KJV) for in thee do I trust. Psalm 143:8(KJV)

Let the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep my heart and mind, through Christ Jesus; Philippians 4:7(KJV) and let that peace rule in my heart, unto which I am called. Colossians 3:15(KJV)

Now the God of hope fill me with all joy and peace in believing, that I may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13(KJV)

Pray for a Sense of Assurance

Petition 3.9 | KJV

I must pray for the comfortable sense of my reconciliation to God and my acceptance with him.

That I may have some evidence of the pardon of my sins and of my adoption.

O make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which sin hath broken may rejoice. Psalm 51:8(KJV)

Say unto each of your children, Son, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee. Matthew 9:2(KJV)

Let the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge my conscience from dead works to serve thee, the living God. Hebrews 9:14(KJV)

Let thy Spirit witness with my spirit, that I am a child of God, and if a child, then an heir, heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. Romans 8:16-17(KJV)

Say unto my soul that thou art my salvation. Psalm 35:3(KJV)

Pray for Reconciliation with God that you may Have His Blessing and Abiding Presence

The Lord that made heaven and earth bless me out of Zion; Psalm 134:3(KJV) bless me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ Jesus. Ephesians 1:3(KJV)

Let me receive the blessing from the Lord, even the righteousness from the God of my salvation. Psalm 24:5(KJV)

Hast thou but one blessing? Yea, thou hast many blessings! Bless me, even me also, O my Father; Genesis 27:38(KJV) yea, let the blessing of Abraham come upon me, which comes upon the Gentiles through faith; Galatians 3:14(KJV) and the blessing of Jacob, for I would not let thee go except thou bless me. Genesis 32:26(KJV)

That I may have the presence of God with me.

If thy presence go not up with me, carry me not up hence; Exodus 33:15(KJV) never leave me nor forsake me. Hebrews 13:5(KJV)

O cast me not away from thy presence, nor ever take thy Holy Spirit away from me; Psalm 51:11(KJV) but let me always dwell with the upright in thy presence. Psalm 140:13(KJV)

Pray for Reconciliation with God that you may be in Covenant with Him and Know His Favor

Petition 3.7 | KJV

That I may be taken into covenant with God and admitted into a relation to him.

Be thou to me a God, and take me to be of thy people; Hebrews 8:10(KJV) and make me willing in the day of thy power. Psalm 110:3(KJV) Though I am no more worthy to be called thy child; Luke 15:19(KJV) for how shouldest thou put me, who has been rebellious, among the children, and give me the pleasant land? But thou hast said that I shall call thee my Father and not turn away from thee. Jeremiah 3:19(KJV) Shall I not therefore from this time cry unto thee, My Father, thou art the guide of my youth. Jeremiah 3:4(KJV)

Lord, I take hold of thy covenant; Isaiah 56:4(KJV) to thee I join myself in a perpetual covenant; Jeremiah 50:5(KJV) O that thou wouldest cause me to pass under the rod and bring me into the bond of the covenant, Ezekiel 20:37(KJV) that I may become thine. Ezekiel 16:8(KJV)

Pray for Reconciliation with God that you may Know His Peace

Petition 3.6 | KJV

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

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

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

Be not thou a terror to me, for thou art my hope in the day of evil. Jeremiah 17:17(KJV)

In Christ Jesus let me, who sometimes was afar off, be made nigh by the blood of Christ; for he is his people’s peace, who hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us, and, that he might reconcile us to God by his cross, hath slain the enmity thereby, so making peace. Through him, therefore, let me, who has made myself a stranger and foreigner, become a fellow-citizen with the saints and of the household of God. Ephesians 2:13-19(KJV)

Fury is not in thee: who would set the briars and thorns against thee in battle? thou wouldest burn them together; yea, thou wouldest burn them together; but thou hast encouraged me to take hold on thy strength, that I make peace, and hast promised that I shall make peace. Isaiah 27:4-5(KJV) O let me therefore acquaint myself with thee and be at peace, that thereby good may come unto me. Job 22:21(KJV)

Heal me, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for thou art my praise. Jeremiah 17:14(KJV) Be not angry with me for ever, but revive me again, that I may rejoice in thee. Shew me thy mercy, O Lord, and grant me thy salvation. Psalm 85:5-7(KJV)

Plead with God your Misery Because of Sin, Along with the Blessed Condition of Pardoned Sinners

Petition 3.5 | KJV

My own misery and danger because of sin.

For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity, for it is great; Psalm 25:11(KJV) for innumerable evils have compassed me about, my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me. Psalm 40:12-13(KJV)

O remember not against me former iniquities, let thy tender mercy speedily prevent me, for I am brought very low. Help me, O God of my salvation, for the glory of thy name; deliver me, and purge away my sins, for thy name’s sake. Psalm 79:8-9(KJV)

Remember not the sins of my youth nor my transgressions; according to thy mercy remember thou me, for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord. Psalm 25:7(KJV)

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

O let me have the blessedness of those whose transgression is forgiven, and whose sin is covered; of that man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. Psalm 32:1-2(KJV)

O let me have redemption through Christ’s blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of thy grace, wherein thou hast abounded towards me in all wisdom and prudence. Ephesians 1:7-8(KJV) That being in Christ Jesus, there may be no condemnation to me. Romans 8:1(KJV)

Plead with God His Promises of Pardon

Petition 3.4 | KJV

The promises God hath made in his word to pardon and absolve all them that truly repent and unfeignedly believe his holy gospel.

Lord, is not this the word which thou hast spoken, that if the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and return unto the Lord, even to my God, that thou wilt abundantly pardon, Isaiah 55:7(KJV) wilt multiply to pardon?

To thee, the Lord my God, belong mercies and forgivenesses, though I have rebelled against thee. Daniel 9:9(KJV)

Is not this the covenant which thou hast made with the house of Israel, that thou wilt take away their sins; Romans 11:27(KJV) that thou wilt forgive their iniquity and remember their sin no more; Jeremiah 31:34(KJV) that the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found? Jeremiah 50:20(KJV)

Hast thou not said that if the wicked will turn from all his sins which he hath committed and keep thy statutes, he shall live, he shall not die, all his transgressions shall not be mentioned unto him? Ezekiel 33:15-16(KJV)

Hast thou not appointed that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in Christ’s name unto all nations? Luke 24:47(KJV)

Didst thou not promise that when the sins of Israel were put upon the head of the scape-goat, they should be sent away into the wilderness, into a land not inhabited? Leviticus 16:22(KJV) And as far as the east is from the west, so far dost thou remove my transgressions from me. Psalm 103:12(KJV)

O remember these words unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. Psalm 119:49(KJV)

Plead with God the Merit and Righteousness of Jesus Christ

Petition 3.3 | KJV

The merit and righteousness of my Lord Jesus Christ, which I rely upon as my main plea in my petition for the pardon of sin.

I know that as thou art gracious and merciful, so thou art the righteous God that loveth righteousness, Psalm 11:7(KJV) and wilt by no means clear the guilty. Exodus 34:7(KJV) I cannot say, Have patience with me and I will pay thee all, Matthew 18:26(KJV) for I am as an unclean thing, and all my righteousness is as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6(KJV) But Jesus Christ is made of God to me righteousness; 1 Corinthians 1:30(KJV) being made sin for me, though he knew no sin, that I might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21(KJV)

I have sinned, but I have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, who is the propitiation for my sins, and not for mine only, but for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2(KJV)

It is God that justifieth, who is he that shall condemn? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again and now is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for me, Romans 8:33-34(KJV) and whose blood speaks better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:24(KJV)

I desire to count every thing loss for Christ, and dung, that I may win Christ and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own, but that which is through the faith of Christ. Philippians 3:7-9(KJV)

This is the name whereby I, with your people, will call him, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:6(KJV) In him, Lord, I believe; help thou my own unbelief. Mark 9:24(KJV)

Lord, remember David and all his troubles; Psalm 132:1(KJV) the Son of David, remember all his offerings and accept his burnt sacrifice; Psalm 20:3(KJV) and turn not away the face of thine Anointed, 2 Chronicles 6:42(KJV) who by his own blood is entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for me. Hebrews 9:24(KJV)

Hast not thou thyself set forth thy Son, Christ Jesus, to be a propitiation for sin through faith in his blood, to declare thy righteousness for the remission of sins, to declare at this time thy righteousness, that thou mayest be just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus? Romans 3:25-26(KJV) And I now receive the atonement. Romans 5:11(KJV)
