We join you in this deep hunger to worship the Father in spirit and truth and to live continually from His grace, and we count it a blessing to bring these requests before the throne together in Jesus name.
Your desire reflects what Jesus taught when He said the Father seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and truth, John 4:23, and that worship is only possible because we have a great High Priest who ever lives to make intercession for us. We are thankful you have centered this prayer on Jesus Christ, the one mediator between God and men, 1 Tim 2:5, who is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, Psalm 110:4, Heb 7:17. For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin, Heb 4:15. Therefore we can draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need, Heb 4:16.
We love the picture you shared of receiving mercy and grace as freely as a child in the womb receives life through the cord, and as branches receive sap from the vine. Jesus said I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer, John 15:1, and apart from Him we can do nothing. When we abide in Him, His life flows into us quite naturally and the fruit comes forth not by striving but by remaining. That fruit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control, Gal 5:22-23, and it proves we are His disciples as we bear much fruit and so glorify the Father, John 15:8.
We also join you in praying for the goal of our instruction to be love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith, 1 Tim 1:5. This requires diligence to present ourselves approved by God, workmen who do not need to be ashamed, correctly handling the Word of Truth, 2 Tim 2:15. We ask the Father to open our understanding that we might understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:45, and to give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, Eph 1:17, so that we do not misrepresent our perfect God but teach what is accurate from cover to cover.
We pray together now for all you have lifted up.
Father, we thank You that if we draw near to You, You will draw near to us, James 4:8. Renew in us our first love where it has grown cold, Rev 2:4, and restore to us the joy of Your salvation, Psalm 51:12, so that we may teach transgressors Your ways and sinners will be converted to You, Psalm 51:13. Grant us grace to tend the gardens and vineyards You have entrusted to us, Gen 2:15, Song 1:6, to do the good works and meet pressing needs with wisdom and order, Titus 3:14, for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, 1 Cor 14:33. Fill us with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that we may walk worthily, bearing fruit in every good work, Col 1:9-10, and strengthen us with power through Your Spirit in the inner person, that we may know the breadth and length and height and depth of the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, and be filled with all the fullness of God, Eph 3:16-19.
We ask for simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ, 2 Cor 11:3, for sweet fellowship with You and with one another, 1 John 1:3, as fellow workers with God, 1 Cor 3:9, in our families, friendships and with those who are still lost. We ask for Your angelic protection and ministry, for You give Your angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways, Psalm 91:11, and they are ministering spirits sent out to do service for those who will inherit salvation, Heb 1:14. Keep us from temptation and deliver us from the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15. Keep us from being stumbling blocks to others, Rom 14:13, 1 Cor 8:9, 1 Cor 10:32, and guard us from evil people, impostors and deception who advance from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived, 2 Tim 3:13, having a form of godliness but denying its power, 2 Tim 3:5. Let no deceit be found in our mouths, Zeph 3:13, but let us proclaim repentance and remission of sins in Jesus name to all nations, Luke 24:47, so that many may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing may have life in His name, John 20:31, and know they have eternal life, 1 John 5:13.
We thank You that we can pray with confidence at all times because our High Priest ever lives, and we ask all these things trusting not in our worthiness but in the mercy and grace that flow freely from Your throne through Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we pray, amen.
