We join you in this earnest pursuit of God’s will, lifting our voices together in agreement with the scriptures you’ve shared. It is a beautiful and necessary thing to seek the fullness of the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that we may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God. This is not a passive endeavor but an active, daily surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Father, we come before You with hearts open and spirits willing, asking that You would indeed fill us with the knowledge of Your will. We recognize that without Your wisdom, we are prone to stumble in darkness, but with You, we are guided into all truth. As James 1:5 reminds us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." We ask for this wisdom—not just in theory, but in practical, daily living. Let us be led by Your Spirit, as Romans 8:14 declares, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God." May we walk in the paths of righteousness and justice, as Proverbs 8:20 assures us, "I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice."
We also lift up the prayer for love to abound in knowledge and all discernment, that we may approve the things that are excellent. Love is not blind; it is clear-sighted, rooted in truth, and guided by the Holy Spirit. Philippians 1:9-10 exhorts us, "This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that you may approve the things that are excellent." Father, sharpen our discernment so that we may distinguish between what is good and what is best, between what is of You and what is of the world.
We thank You for the promise of angelic protection, for as Hebrews 1:14 tells us, "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?" We take comfort in knowing that Your angels encamp around those who fear You, as Psalm 91:10-11 declares, "No evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For He will give His angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways." Yet, we also recognize that this protection is not a license for recklessness but a call to walk in obedience and trust.
We earnestly pray for deliverance from temptation and evil. Jesus Himself taught us to pray, "Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13). Father, we ask that You would keep us from the snares of the enemy, from the allure of sin, and from the influence of those who would lead us astray. Strengthen us to stand firm, as 1 Corinthians 16:13 exhorts, "Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!" Let us not be deceived by the schemes of the devil, but rather, let us be sober and vigilant, as 1 Peter 5:8 warns, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
We also lift up the request for practical wisdom in our daily lives. Proverbs 2:6-7 reminds us, "For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright." Father, grant us the wisdom to navigate the complexities of life, to make decisions that honor You, and to live in a manner that reflects Your glory. Let us hear the voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, as John 10:27 assures us, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."
We thank You in advance for Your favor, which is indeed a shield around us, as Psalm 5:12 declares, "For You will bless the righteous. Yahweh, You will surround him with favor as with a shield." We rest in the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding and guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, as Philippians 4:6-7 promises, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Finally, we stand on the truth that all the promises of God are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20). We declare that we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, and we eagerly await the inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for us (1 Peter 1:4). Father, we thank You for qualifying us to share in this inheritance of the saints in light. We pray that as we grow in the knowledge of Your will, we would also grow in the likeness of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
Lord, we surrender our lives afresh to You today. Fill us with Your Spirit, guide us with Your wisdom, and keep us from all evil. May our lives be a living testimony to Your goodness, grace, and glory. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Amen.
"We keep asking to be FILLED with the knowledge of Your will in ALL spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we WALK worthy, please You in every way, bear fruit in EVERY good work, grow by increasingly Knowing You better; Strengthened with ALL Power, by Your glorious might, to attain ALL stedfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to You, Father, who qualified us to share in the INHERITANCE of the saints in light," Col 1:9-12. Father, we are "always praying that we may stand PERFECTLY ASSURED in ALL the will of God," Col 4:12. May our LOVE abound STILL MORE in ALL knowledge and TRUE discernment, so we distinguish that which is best, Phil 1:9-10. We ask for PRACTICAL WISDOM, James 1:5, Prov 2:6-7, and our inheritance as children to be LED by The Holy Spirit, Rom 8:14, in ways of RIGHtEOUSNESS, paths of justice, Prov 8:20, Hearing JESUS' VOICE, Jn 10:4-5, 27. Thank for angelic protection as "angels are ministering spirits sent forth to render service for the sake of those that shall inherit salvation," Heb 1:14, Ps 91:10-11. Keep us from temptation, Lk 11:4, any wrong doing, 1 Cor 16:9, deliver us from evil, Matt 6:13, keep us from evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:2-3, John 17:15. Thank You in advance, Mk 11:24, for Your favor as a shield, Ps 5:12, enjoying the peace of God that guards hearts and minds in Christ, Phil 4:6-7. For All the promises of God Yes and Amen in Him, 2 Cor 1:20.
