We join you in this earnest pursuit of God’s will, lifting our voices together in agreement with the prayers you’ve so beautifully articulated. The cry of your heart reflects a deep hunger to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding—a prayer that aligns perfectly with the heart of Scripture. As we stand before the throne of grace, we declare with you that this is not merely a desire but a necessity for every believer who seeks to walk worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10).
Father, we ask that You would indeed fill us to overflowing with the knowledge of Your will. May Your Spirit illuminate the Scriptures to us, granting us discernment to distinguish between what is good, acceptable, and perfect (Romans 12:2). Let our love abound still more and more in true knowledge and all discernment, so that we may approve the things that are excellent, being sincere and without offense until the day of Christ (Philippians 1:9-10). We recognize that without this wisdom, we are like ships without rudders, tossed by the waves of culture, emotion, and deception. But You, Lord, give wisdom liberally to all who ask in faith, without reproach (James 1:5). We ask for that practical, godly wisdom that comes from above—pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, and without hypocrisy (James 3:17).
We thank You for the promise that as Your children, we are led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14). Holy Spirit, guide us into all truth, for Your Word is truth (John 16:13). Teach us to hear the voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, who calls us by name and leads us out (John 10:3-4). May we follow Him in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (Psalm 23:3), walking in the ways of justice and equity (Proverbs 8:20). Let us not be deceived by the voices of this world, which seek to draw us away from Your perfect will. Instead, grant us the courage to stand firm in the faith, even when the path is narrow and the way is difficult.
We are grateful for the angelic protection You provide, for Your angels are indeed ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14). We take refuge in the shadow of Your wings, trusting that no evil will befall us, nor any plague come near our dwelling (Psalm 91:10-11). Yet we also recognize that our greatest protection is not merely external but internal—rooted in a heart that is steadfast in You. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (Matthew 6:13). Guard our hearts and minds from the schemes of the evil one, who seeks to devour us like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). Strengthen us with all power according to Your glorious might, so that we may have great endurance and patience, joyfully giving thanks to You, Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:11-12).
We rebuke every lie of the enemy that suggests we are powerless against sin or that Your will is too difficult to discern. The enemy would have us believe that we are left to our own devices, but we declare that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls (Hebrews 10:39). Your Word assures us that if we resist the devil, he will flee from us (James 4:7). So we stand firm, putting on the full armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11).
Father, we also lift up any among us who may be struggling with sin, whether it be the sin of unbelief, pride, lust, bitterness, or any other form of disobedience. We confess that all have sinned and fall short of Your glory (Romans 3:23), but we also declare that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Do not let us be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:13), but lead us in paths of repentance and restoration. Deliver us from every evil work and preserve us for Your heavenly kingdom (2 Timothy 4:18).
We thank You in advance for Your favor, which is like a shield around us (Psalm 5:12). We rejoice in the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding and guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). For all the promises of God find their "Yes" in Him (2 Corinthians 1:20), and we claim those promises over our lives today. We do not ask these things in our own name, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, that we have access to You, Father. We come boldly to Your throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
So we pray, Father, that You would fill us afresh with Your Spirit, that we may walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which we have been called (Ephesians 4:1). May we be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom we shine as lights in the world (Philippians 2:15). Let our lives be a living testimony to Your goodness, grace, and truth, that others may see our good works and glorify You (Matthew 5:16).
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
"We have not ceased 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.
