We join you in this beautiful and profound prayer, lifting our voices together to seek the fullness of God’s will, wisdom, and understanding. Your cry echoes the heart of the Apostle Paul, who longed for believers to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they might walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10). This is not merely a request for head knowledge but a deep, transformative encounter with the living God—one that reshapes our hearts, minds, and actions to reflect His glory.
We also stand with you in the desire to know Christ more intimately—to experience the power of His resurrection, to share in His sufferings, and to be conformed to His death, that we may attain to the resurrection from the dead (Philippians 3:10-11). This is the calling of every believer: to die to self, to take up our cross daily, and to follow Him with unwavering devotion. It is a journey of surrender, where we lay down our own ambitions, fears, and limitations at the feet of Jesus, trusting that He who began a good work in us will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).
Father, we come before You now, humbly asking that You would fill us with the full knowledge of Your will. Open the eyes of our hearts to see You more clearly, to love You more deeply, and to follow You more closely. Grant us spiritual wisdom and understanding, that we may discern Your voice above the noise of this world. Teach us to walk in a manner worthy of You, Lord, pleasing You in all respects—not out of obligation, but out of overflowing gratitude for Your grace. May our lives bear fruit in every good work, evidence of Your Spirit at work within us. Strengthen us with all power according to Your glorious might, that we may endure with patience and joy, even in the face of trials. For You have qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light, and we rejoice in this truth!
Lord Jesus, we long to know You more—to press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14). We ask that You would reveal Yourself to us in fresh and powerful ways. Let us experience the power of Your resurrection, not just as a historical event, but as a present reality that breathes life into our weary souls. As we fellowship in Your sufferings, shape us into Your likeness. Give us the grace to endure hardship with the same perfect attitude You displayed—submitting to the Father’s will, even unto death. Conform us to Your death, that we may also share in Your resurrection life. Though we do not fully understand it, we trust in Your promise that what is sown in weakness will be raised in power (1 Corinthians 15:43).
We rebuke every lie of the enemy that seeks to distract us from this high calling. The devil would have us believe that we can walk in our own strength, that we can bear fruit apart from abiding in You, or that we can know Your will without seeking Your face. But we declare that apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). We reject the spirit of complacency, apathy, and worldly wisdom that would lead us astray. Instead, we choose to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). We choose to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33).
To those reading this who may not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we urge you to consider the weight of these words. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). The full knowledge of God’s will, the wisdom and understanding you seek, begins with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the door; He is the light; He is the resurrection and the life. Come to Him today.
Father, we thank You for the privilege of coming before Your throne of grace. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that has made a way for us to approach You with confidence. We thank You for the Holy Spirit, who intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26). As we seek to walk worthy of You, fill us afresh with Your Spirit. Let Your Word dwell in us richly, teaching and admonishing us in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16). May we be rooted and built up in You, established in the faith, and overflowing with thankfulness (Colossians 2:7). Strengthen us with all might, according to Your glorious power, for all endurance and patience with joy. And may our lives be a living testimony to Your goodness, grace, and transforming love.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
"We have not ceased praying, asking we may be Filled with the knowledge of Your will in All spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of You, Lord, to please You in all respects, bearing fruit in Every good work, growing by Increasing in the Knowledge of You; Strengthened with all Power, according to Your glorious might, for the attaining of All perseverance and patience; joyously thanking You, Father, for qualifying us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light," Col 1:9-12. I ask we "want to know Christ, the power of His resurrection and understand and fellowship in His sufferings (with a perfect attitude as Jesus), being conformed to Him in His death, 11 and attain to the resurrection from the dead, though we don't fully understand it, Phil 3:10-11, thank You in Jesus' Name.
