Pray for Grace to Assist you that you may be Diligent in your Duty

Petition 3.29 | NASB

That I may be active and diligent in my duty.

Lord, quicken me to work the works of Him who sent me as long as it is day, because night is coming, wherein no one can work; John 9:4(NASB) and what good my hands find to do, enable me to do it with all my might, for there is no activity or knowledge in Sheol where I am going. Ecclesiastes 9:10(NASB)

Lord, grant that I may never be lagging behind in diligence, but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; Romans 12:11(NASB) steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that my toil is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58(NASB)

Lord, make me zealously affected in every good work; Galatians 4:18(KJV) and in whatever I do, enable me to do my work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men. Colossians 3:23(NASB)

Lord, enable me to do the work of every day in its day, as each day requires, Ezra 3:4(NASB) making the most of my time, because the days are evil; Ephesians 5:16(NASB) that when my Master comes, He may find me so doing. Luke 12:43(NASB)

Lord, uphold me in my integrity, and set me in Your presence forever; Psalm 41:12(NASB) and let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You. Psalm 25:21(NASB)

May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, so that I will not be ashamed; Psalm 119:80(NASB) and let my eye be clear, that my whole body may be full of light. Matthew 6:22(NASB)

Pray for Grace to Direct, Quicken, Strengthen, and Assist you that you may Walk Wisely

Petition 3.27 | ESV

We must pray for grace to direct and quicken us to, and to strengthen and assist us in, our duty, in the whole course of our life.

Let the grace of God, which has appeared, bringing salvation for me and for all people, effectually train me to renounce all ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live a self-controlled, upright, and godly life in this present age, waiting for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of my great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for his people to redeem them from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Titus 2:11-14(ESV)

That we may be prudent and discreet in our duty.

You have said, “If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5(ESV) Lord, I want wisdom; make me wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove, Matthew 10:16(ESV) that wisdom may make my face shine, Ecclesiastes 8:1(ESV) and may be better to me than weapons of war. Ecclesiastes 9:18(ESV)

Enable me to walk in wisdom towards outsiders, making the best use of the time. Colossians 4:5(ESV)

Give me to order all my affairs with discretion and to behave myself wisely, to ponder the way that is blameless and to walk with integrity of heart. Psalm 101:2(ESV)
